Your support makes all the difference.David Schwimmer has admitted that a Friends reunion is more likely than Oasis getting back together.
Many fans are desperate for a revival of the hugely popular sitcom, which ran from 1994 to 2004, and it looks like a reunion of some sort is finally on the cards.
When asked by NME whether the Gallagher brothers or the cast of Friends would be more likely to work together again, Schwimmer responded: “Probably the latter. From what I understand about Oasis…”
“Those two brothers, they can get back together, can’t they?” his Intelligence co-star Nick Mohammed asked, Schwimmer responded: “Maybe.”
Schwimmer recently added to speculation of a Friends reunion when he appeared on The One Show and refused to outright deny the rumours.
Quizzed by presenters Matt Baker and Alex Jones, Schwimmer remained coy about the prospect of a reunion, saying: “I’m so glad I finally get to answer this question.”
“I honestly, I really wish I could confirm or deny. I can’t. There’s nothing official to report, unfortunately”, he continued.
But Jones pressed the issue, asking: “But maybe?”
“Maybe Matthew Perry is pregnant,’ Schwimmer replied, referring to a mysterious tweet by Perry that simply said: “Big news coming.”
Last October, Jennifer Anniston posted a photo of the six lead castmembers – Schwimmer, Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and herself – on Instagram.
