Upon being asked if it was awkward to enact romantic scenes with each other, she said that no it wasn't it was rather quite enjoyable.

David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston played the famous on-screen couple, Ross and Rachel. As the show progressed, each character became a household name and each cast member a star, moving on to varying successes in motion pictures and television.
The finale of Friends was watched by more than 52 million people. However, despite the original show's huge popularity, Joey (2004–06), a spin-off starring Matt LeBlanc, didn't enjoy the success as expected.
