Surprising fact about Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer’s ages will leave Friends fans speechless
Recently, an astonishing fact about the ages of two of the show's stars, Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer has left Friends enthusiasts utterly speechless.
Sometimes we get lost in the nostalgia of watching Friends and the youthful adventures of its characters in New York City.
It's easy to overlook the passage of time. However, it's quite astonishing to realize the current ages of the cast members.
Jennifer Aniston, who brought Rachel Green to life, is now 55 years old.
Similarly, Lisa Kudrow, known for her portrayal of the quirky Phoebe Buffay, has reached the age of 60.
But it was the discovery surrounding Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer that truly shook fans.
In the show, Cox and Schwimmer portrayed the brother-sister duo of Monica and Ross Geller, respectively.
Remarkably, the actors are now approximately the same age as their characters' parents, Jack and Judy Geller, who were when Friends first premiered in 1994.
Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles brilliantly portrayed the Geller parents throughout the series, with Gould currently at 85 years old and Pickles at 89.
This means that when the show began, Jack and Judy Geller were around 55 and 59 years old.
Adding to the surprise, Courteney Cox, who played Monica, is actually older than her on-screen brother, David Schwimmer, who portrayed Ross.
Cox is now 59 years old, while Schwimmer is 57 years old, surpassing the age at which Gould would have been when he initially took on the role of Ross' father.
The fact about Cox and Schwimmer's ages has captured the attention of Friends fans.
Fans have expressed a mix of disbelief, nostalgia, and a sense of their own aging.
Some are surprised at how swiftly time has passed, while others humorously lament the reminder of their own mortality.
Despite the passage of time, Friends remains a beloved series that continues to bring joy to fans worldwide.
The ability to revisit the show's ten-year span, even as the cast members themselves age, offers a comforting and familiar retreat for viewers.
I honestly thought it was crystal clear that they're supposed to be at least mid to late 20s, one user said.
I am shocked...I thought they were in their 60's, the second said.
The funny part is, Courtney is older than David in real life. Matthew Perry was the youngest cast member and Lisa Cudrow was the oldest, another user explained.
