The ever-magnetic Jennifer Aniston revealed a shocking behind-the-scenes detail about the famous sitcom Friends that many were not aware of.

Back When Jennifer Aniston Dropped a Heart-Shattering Truth Bomb About &#8216;Friends&#8217;

Jennifer Aniston had fully embraced Rachel Green, whether it was the renowned
Rachel Green hairdo that had taken the entire globe by storm or her incredible
fashion sense. Friends, an NBC hit, continues to lead the Netflix charts decades
after it ended. So the obsession with Aniston, who has a $300 million net worth
and is one of the world’s highest-paid actresses, has persisted. But was it all
fun and games behind the scenes? A previous interview paints a different
picture.

The Horrible Bosses actress startled everyone in 2016 when she disclosed an
essential component of the show that many viewers were unaware of.


THE ONE WHERE JENNIFER ANISTON REVEALED A SHOCKING TRUTH

During an exclusive interview with the BBC’s The One Show
[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0833dng] in the year 2016, Jennifer
Aniston revealed that the entire Friends cast hated the iconic opening credit
song ‘I’ll Be There for You,’ as well as the Central Park fountain in front of
which they filmed the song. Further, she revealed, “No one was a big fan of that
theme song.” While sharing her thoughts on the trademark fountain, she said, “We
felt it was a little… I don’t know,’ adding, ‘Dancing in a pond?” Further, the
actress revealed that they only did it because they were told to do so.

The now 54-year-old actress appeared on the show alongside directors Josh Gordon
and Will Speck to promote her film Office Christmas Party. Aniston also admitted
that she frequently changed channels on TV but always ended up watching Friends
reruns. She admitted “She can’t help it,” and that the show brought back
memories for her.

Not many are aware that the theme song ‘I’ll Be There for You’ was not the first
choice of the producers. And they had somebody else in their mind. But as that
plan did not work out, this song was chosen in the end.


THE FRIENDS’ THEME SONG THAT WAS ORIGINALLY CHOSEN

The beloved series made viewers gaga over its perfect comic timing and the
beloved theme song that many can sing word for word. But the producers had
another theme song in mind. As per a 2019 interview with NME, initially, the
producers wanted ‘Shiny Happy People’ by R.E.M. to be the official theme song
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-netflix-news-did-you-know-the-iconic-friends-theme-song-was-almost-dumped-for-this-replacement-melody/],
but the band turned down the opportunity. So, they brought The Rembrandts into
the scene and gave fans the iconic ‘I’ll be there for you’ song.

The Rembrandts only wrote half of the song, and the other half was co-written by
Michael Skloff and Allee Willis. Both of them worked in the sitcom’s musical
team. Together, they created a theme song that was most suitable for the show’s
image.
