Friends: "I shouldn’t have been there!" This fan-favorite character rocks the series finale

Here’s a sentence that will puzzle many fans of Friends, the cult series: one of the favorite characters of sitcom fans came back on the last episode… and he still hasn’t understood what he was doing there!

On May 6, 2004, American viewers discovered the final episode of Friends, the now cult sitcom (did you know that two actors were almost fired?). After ten seasons, and 236 episodes, the gang of six said goodbye in a particularly poignant “season finale”. Indeed, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) decided not to go to Paris to be able to stay with her great love Ross (David Schwimmer), while Monica (Courteney Cox – who made fans cry with joy!) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) welcomed their children, twins whom they then presented to their friends Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and her husband Mike (Paul Rudd). A scene that took place in Monica’s apartment, stripped of all furniture since the latter and her husband were about to leave New York to live in a house in the suburbs.

“It was kind of surreal to be a part of it all.”

A scene that caused torrents of tears to flow to fans of the series (a scene of which was almost cut), but which made one of the protagonists particularly uncomfortable: Paul Rudd ! In any case, this is what he explained in an interview with the American morning show The Hear… In full promotion of his new film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniathe actor returned to his experience in Friends. “It was really fun, and they were great! It was kind of surreal, I have to say, to be a part of it all, because I really got to the end. I didn’t know I was going to be in so many episodeshe confided.

“I was like, ‘I shouldn’t be here!“”

However, if he only has good things to say about his colleagues and his time in the cult sitcom, Paul Rudd admits: “It was also strange. I was in the last episode, and I thought to myself, “I shouldn’t be here. I’m in the front row to see things that I’m not supposed to see.” They were all crying, it was very emotional, and I was just like, “woah!”. And d(add: “I felt privileged but also I also wanted to sit back and not bother them…”. The host then asks him if there is a discussion group between the stars of Friends. Paul Rudd responds humorously: “If there is one, I’m not one of them! “
