Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer reveal about the ‘no hookup pact’ between Friends cast

Friends: The Reunion has been creating a lot of excitement among its fans even before its premiere. Well, Friends: The Reunion will exclusively premiere simultaneously in the USA and India on May 27. In India, it will stream on the OTT platform Zee5. HBO Max will air the special on Thursday, May 27 in the US. Friends stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer will return in the iconic soundstage, Stage 24 at Warner Bros. Studios, Los Angeles.

During a recent interview with Access, when the cast was asked if there was a pact or a rule about not hooking up with the cast, Matthew said that there was a rule that they had and it was really important to the six of them that they kept a friendship. “And if we were hooking up or there was any strangeness going on, that might mess with things. So we kept a friendship and we did become really good friends. And we are really good friends to this day. And we kept that going. And that was really important. Jim Burrows [director] initiated that and we kept that going,” said Matthew.

David added that the cast didn’t want to “jeopardise” the “great relationships and friendships” they had and it was kind of an “unspoken” rule. Matt LeBlanc said that the cast was “more like siblings.”

When Jennifer, Courteney and Lisa were asked about the pact, they said that they don’t remember any such pact. Lisa said that she was already engaged to her husband Michael Stern by then. Courteney added, “It’s a smart idea but I don’t actually remember talking about it”.
