Friends
actor
David
Schwimmer
has
revealed
that
the
shooting
of
the
much-awaited
Friends
reunion
special
episode
will
begin
next
week.
David
during
interaction
on
The
Graham
Norton
Show
said
that
he
is
excited
to
see
the
entire
cast
once
again
after
many
years.
BBC
talk
show
host
Graham
Norton
called
the
Friends
reunion
a
"pressing
engagement
that
the
world
has
been
waiting
for."
David,
to
fans'
much
relief
said
that
he
will
be
getting
on
a
plane
soon
to
shoot
the
special.
He
also
revealed
a
few
more
details
about
the
special
set
to
air
on
HBO
Max.
Schwimmer
said
the
entire
cast
will
be
themselves
instead
of
playing
the
iconic
characters.
The
actor
who
plays
Ross
Geller
said,
"I
will
be
getting
on
a
plane
soon
and
shooting
for
Friends
Reunion
next
week.
I
am
going
to
see
everyone
next
week
for
the
first
time
in
many
years." The
unscripted
episode
will
star
everyone
including
Matthew
Perry,
Jennifer
Aniston,
Lisa
Kudrow,
Courteney
Cox,
and
Matt
LeBlanc.
However,
David
did
hint
at
a
surprise
segment
as
part
of
the
special
episode.
He
added,
"I
will
be
myself.
There's
nothing
scripted,
we
are
not
in
characters.
We
are
all
ourselves,
the
real
people.
Although
there
is
a
section
of
it
that
I
don't
want
to
give
away,
but
we
all
will
read
something."
The
Friends
reunion
special
was
set
to
go
on-air
with
the
launch
of
HBO
MAX
in
May
2020.
However,
the
shoot
was
delayed
several
times
due
to
scheduling
issues
followed
by
the
pandemic.
While
fans
have
been
binging
the
show
amid
the
lockdown,
David
said
he
has
a
lot
of
catching
up
to
do.
He
hadn't
"been
able
to
catch
up
on
the
236
episodes.
I
think
I
need
to
watch
a
lot
in
the
next
five
days."
