Friends: David Schwimmer took Matt LeBlanc out to dinner to celebrate 30 years of hit show

The Goosebumps star added: “I happened to be back in Los Angeles around the day that marked the 30th year of when we aired, and I took [Matt] LeBlanc out to dinner, actually, and we reminisced and we toasted to the 30 years.

“I mean, it’s amazing. It’s amazing to me that people are still watching and find it funny and comforting, and I feel nothing but gratitude, really.”

Schwimmer and LeBlanc starred on the show with Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay) and late actor Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), who died aged 54 in October 2023.

Kudrow previously revealed the actors met up for dinner around a decade after Friends went off-air in 2004 and they weren’t all in a room together again until they filmed 2021’s Friends: The Reunion TV special.

During an appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast, she explained: “It [the reunion special] was so good.

“We’d only had dinner, the six of us, once before since the show ended.”

She revealed the dinner took place around “10 years” after the end of Friends and added: “It was like we didn’t miss a beat. Just us at someone’s house and had dinner and, like, didn’t miss a beat.”

Appearing on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, she confessed the “six-way relationship took some work”, and the group “worked hard at being friends”.

Over the 10 seasons, the castmates became genuine pals away from the camera, and so they would try to “really talk things through” if there were any disagreements.

She recalled: “If someone said something or did something, it didn’t get too big because it was, ‘Can I talk to you?’”
