David Schwimmer Reflects on His Evolving Relationship with 'Friends'

The actor shared on a recent podcast how his perspective on the iconic sitcom changed through his daughter's enjoyment of the series.

David Schwimmer revealed on the 'Making A Scene' podcast that he has not watched 'Friends' since its conclusion in 2004, considering it a closed chapter in his life.
He initially had a negative reaction to the show's theme song, 'I'll Be There for You,' due to overexposure during public appearances.
Schwimmer's perspective on the series and its theme song shifted after his nine-year-old daughter discovered and enjoyed the show, rekindling his appreciation for its impact.
The actor, who gained global fame as Dr. Ross Geller, also directed several episodes of the sitcom, which remains a cultural phenomenon decades after its original run.
'Friends,' produced from 1994 to 2004, continues to resonate with new generations through streaming platforms, underscoring its enduring relevance.
