Can you believe it’s been TEN WHOLE YEARS since Friends ended forever and ever???

Nope, us neither.

From the moment Rachel walked into Central Perk in a wedding dress after ditching fiancé Barry at the alter, we were sold.

Chandler's little joke then was 'I just won a million dollars.' Turns out the whole thing was going to make him pretty rich after all...

But, here’s some things you might not have known about our favourite Friends characters...

Did you know that Courtney Cox initially was cast as Rachel? But she was just so good as Monica they had to find someone else (aka the Goddess that is Jennifer Aniston).

Did you know that Jennifer Aniston HATED her famous ‘Rachel Shag’ and cried when she left the hairdressers?

The scriptwriters initially wanted Monica and Joey to be the main loved-up couple in the show. That just seems incestuous now...

James Michael Tyler got the role as Gunther purely because he worked at a coffee shop and could work the real life coffee machine in Central Perk. We wonder whatever happened to him...

Also, did you know that Bruce Willis guest starred in Friends for free after losing a bet with Matthew Perry (aka Chandler Bing)? Oh yeah, and he got to snog Jennifer Aniston too whilst he was there. Who’s laughing now, Chandler???
