that they almost became a couple in real life

"Friends": These two actors were considering a relationship
In the sitcom "Friends" there were countless relationship constellations. Often the six main characters did not date each other at all, but found their partners in circles of friends and acquaintances. Nevertheless, for example, Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) got together. It also crackled between Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) from the start. Those feelings did not only exist in the fictional world, however. As Aniston and Schwimmer revealed in “Friends: The Reunion”,
the two also flirted behind the scenes
. For example, they often sat cuddling on the couch in Monica's apartment while filming was paused.
Unfortunately, there was no real relationship.
The actors gave a good reason for this:
Aniston and Schwimmer were never single at the same time
.
For example, Aniston's relationship with Hollywood star Brad Pitt began in 1998.
