Toward the end of HBO Max's “Friends” reunion special, host James Corden asks the six actors to imagine ดาวน์โหลด slot xo what their characters' lives would be like today.
Chandler and Monica would be married. So would Ross and Rachel. With kids, of course. Same with Phoebe. The only mystery was Joey, which actor Matt LeBlanc answered with a joke.
"He probably opened up a sandwich shop in Venice Beach," he said.
That's when the disappointment of “Friends: The Reunion,” which premieres Thursday on the streaming service, hits you. How cool would it have been to take that journey?
It is what ultimately matters when anybody reunites with friends so close they felt like family during the early adult years. How has everyone turned out? Were dreams fulfilled? Did life's inevitable disappointments cut you down or make you stronger? Can you still be friends?
There are probably many reasons why the people involved didn't try to advance those stories. It would have been hard. Surely not everyone would have been on the same page. There's always the possibility of failure. You want to remember the magic of “Friends,” not the slog of the spinoff “Joey.”
Actress Lisa Kudrow noted the show's creators, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, have said they worked hard to give every character a satisfying ending when the NBC sitcom went off the air in 2004. She hasn't considered revisiting Phoebe.
“I don't want anyone's happy ending to be unraveled,” she said.
Instead, the characters remain frozen in time, forever as they appear on reruns available on, yes, HBO Max.
The streamed reunion was delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of the actors reportedly received $ 2.5 million to appear in the special, according to Variety. Viewers were told it was only the second time that Kudrow, LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer had been in a room together since filming the series finale.作者: christian398 時間: 2021-5-29 16:28
