Photos of the Friends Cast Before They Were Famous
It's really hard to believe that the last time an original episode of Friends aired was on May 6, 2004. Yes, it's been 12 years since a latte was had at Central Perk. Luckily, we haven't had to miss the gang too much because, well, Netflix.
We also still obsessively keep up with what the main cast members—Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer—are up to today, so it's hard to even remember what they looked like as bright-eyed, fresh-faced newbie actors back when Friends first premiered 22 years ago. So let's take a trip back in time and look at the amazing press photos the cast took before they had any idea that Friends was going to become a pop-culture phenomenon. These photos are pure '90s awesomeness and give a really sweet peek at their lives before everything changed.
This show is about six friends who love to hang out at a coffee house—sure, let's give them some empty mugs to drive the point home.
