Read our privacy policy Fans of Friends are calling for stars David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston to become a real-life couple after the actors revealed how they almost had an off-screen romance when they started filming the show. Schwimmer said: “The first season I had a major crush on Jen – we were both crushing hard on one another, but it was like two ships passing ‘cause one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary.” Aniston added that her co-star’s feelings were “reciprocated”, recalling how the two of them would “spoon and fall asleep on the couch” during rehearsals. While a romance between the two actors never happened in real life, Aniston said they wound up “channelling all adoration and love for one another into Ross and Rachel”. “I just cant get my head around that Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer ADMITTED their feelings in front of the whole world and talked about how it was never the right time,” wrote one person.
