Friends director admitted he struggled to work with one star because they 'weren’t funny'
May 6, 2025
Friends director James Burrows opened up about what it was like on set shooting arguably one of the juiciest seasons of the beloved sitcom
For many of us, Friends is the go-to show we stick on whenever we're wanting some feel-good comfort, a heavy dose of 90s nostalgia and - of course - a whole lot of laughs.
And even despite the fact the beloved sitcom hit our screens over three decades ago, we're all still as obsessed as ever with the lives of Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross.
But it's clear that one star from the programme was far less easy to work with than the others after Friends director, James Burrows, admitted he struggled to work with them because they 'weren’t funny'.
The popular TV series has seen a load of Hollywood A-listers make cameo appearances, with Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis, Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd just to name a few.
Arguably, however, one of the most juicy seasons of the series saw a lot of Emily Waltham AKA Ross' second wife, who was played by Helen Baxendale.
Helen went on to star in 14 episodes of Friends with her character's romance with Ross (played by David Schwimmer) being pretty short-lived given that he said his ex-girlfriend Rachel's name (Jennifer Aniston) at the altar during their wedding in London, resulting in their divorce.
