Entertainment icon David Schwimmer recently revealed on Good Morning America that his Friends costar Matt LeBlanc surprised him with an unexpected blast from the past. Despite living on opposite coasts, with Schwimmer in New York and LeBlanc in Los Angeles, the two actors maintain their decades-long friendship through spontaneous exchanges.
During his interview with Robin Roberts, Schwimmer, 58, shared that LeBlanc, 57, recently sent him a clip from their Friends days that caught him off guard - a scene where LeBlanc's character rips off Schwimmer's shirt. "I genuinely forgot what we've shot," Schwimmer admitted, reflecting on content filmed over 25 years ago.
The actor, known for his role as Ross Geller, expressed gratitude for the lasting impact of Friends, which ended its run in 2004. He shared touching encounters with fans, including international viewers who learned English through the show and parents whose children found comfort watching Friends during hospital stays.
This revelation comes shortly after Schwimmer recounted a dramatic moment from 1996 when LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder during a live taping of the season 3 episode "The One Where No One's Ready." The incident required an immediate halt to filming so LeBlanc could receive medical attention.
Schwimmer, currently promoting his role in Goosebumps: The Vanishing, emphasized that his friendship with LeBlanc exemplifies their unique bond - they might not communicate for months, but can instantly reconnect through shared memories of their time on the iconic sitcom.
