Any Friends reunion would be Ross-less - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-07-2007, 12:30 AM

DAVID Schwimmer shattered a million TV dreams last night when he ruled out a return of the cult American sitcom Friends.

The actor, in London for the premiere of the movie Run Fat Boy Run which he directed, said: “If I was asked to do it, I’d say ‘No’. It was ten years ago — and it’s time to move on.”

Schwimmer, 40, who played geeky scientist Ross, added: “There is no reunion. We are not getting back together.

“I have not been approached, none of the producers has been approached.”

Run Fat Boy Run star Thandie Newton, 34, last night looked a picture of innocence at the star-studded screening.

But earlier the British actress had shown a devilish side by swapping co-star Simon Pegg’s mineral water for vodka.

The star balked as he took a swig during an interview.

I would actually prefer a reunion without Ross. He was always my least favorite and I don't want to see any R/R stuff.

i've never been a huge friends fan, but i suppose i wouldn't mind watching the reunion... but only if it didn't have both ross AND rachel in it. god they were so over rated

I know I'm heartbroken.

Like there was ever going to be a reunion anyway - unless, of course, TPTB make it worth their while ($$$$)...

It's way too early for a Friends reunion anyway. It shouldn't happen anytime before 2014. I do hope they at least do some type of retrospective with all of them sitting around commentating that would be fun.

That's exactly right: The Powers That Be.

Not that there was ever going to be a reunion. But if there had, it wouldnt be the same if they werent all there.

thecroc · 03-05-2008, 08:17 AM

i thought there was a rumour as the last episode was being filmed that they were going to record a 'one year later' follow up. Am starting to think i dreamt that :-/

friendsfan77 · 03-28-2008, 01:12 AM

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Rachel, I love that character, but I don't think I'd be that disappointed if Ross wasn't apart of it. But personally, I can't see a reunion going on without him since they seem to have the one for all and all for one ideal. I do think it's too early for a reunion though, I want one, but not now.

David Schwimmer would turn down the opportunity to bring back his hit show Friends because he is convinced it ended the right way. Schwimmer is still best known for his role as Ross Gellar - four years after "Friends" ended - but he has no desire to play the paleontologist ever again.

Speaking while promoting his movie directorial debut, Run Fatboy Run, Schwimmer says, "I don't think I would (play Ross again). The way it ended felt so right. I don't want to mess with it."

funny that Schwimmer is the one who least wants a reunion, when he's had the least success outside of the show. Aniston has had a few successful movies, and Cox seems to be doing fine on Dirt, but Schwimmer and Leblanc are on about the same level now

MrRetro_08 · 04-01-2008, 05:28 PM

What about Matt Perry?. I haven't seen him in anything since Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip went off air

tiff7 · 04-03-2008, 02:47 PM

he's gonna be in a new movie or 2. if David doesn't wanna do a reunion, I'm ok w/everyone else in the movie, but I want it when everyone is ready. I miss the gang though! Studio 60 is such a fabulous show & I have it on my iPod.
