This Distinguishing Trait of ‘Friends’ Rachel Green Was Also a Part of the American Diva, Jennifer Aniston

Friends is one of those rare shows that clung to fans’ hearts and never left its
grip. It is a home and a go-to place for millions of people, including many
celebrities. Amidst various reasons for the show’s popularity, the perfect
choice of cast is one of the major ones. It featured Jennifer Aniston as Rachel,
David Schwimmer as Ross, and Courteney Cox as Monica, along with others. All
these actors became so one with the characters that fans could not tell them
apart.

A great example is Courteney Cox’s frequent appearances as Monica Geller on her
Instagram handle. But did you know that Aniston also shares a trait with her
alter ego?


JENNIFER ANISTON AND RACHEL GREEN’S ONE GREAT COMMON TRAIT IS SURPRISINGLY
CHARMING

If an actor portrays a character for such a long time as the Friends cast did,
it would not be surprising to know that they adapted to their characters’
traits. In 2001, during an interview with Rolling Stone
[https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/interview-jennifer-aniston-171848/],
Aniston and her character were found to share a common trait, making the
statement sound true. In the show, Rachel Green was funny, and a deft physical
comedian. Surprisingly, the American Diva was also funny and used a lot of
gestures while having a conversation with anyone.



Her character, Rachel Green, would use her body to wrap, stamp, and deliver
jokes. Just like her character, the Cake actress would flash on a big eye or
theatrically steel her jaw. She would also furrow her eyebrows. Additionally,
when the Horrible Bosses actress would sit, she would hunch forward with her
elbows on her knees. This specific posture would tell the person in front of her
that she would tell a tale now. Interestingly, her talk would often involve
charming hand gestures.

Rachel Green, who was a daddy’s spoiled princess, became an independent, strong,
and inspiring woman in the show. Well, so did Jennifer Aniston. The Emmy-winning
actress faced many challenges before making it in Hollywood but persevered and
succeeded. Did you know the Murder Mystery actress was also a waitress before
becoming a star

just like her character in Friends?

As shocking as it sounds, Aniston was not the only one to have these many
similarities with her character in the cast.


THE FRIENDS ACTORS WHO WERE JUST LIKE THEIR CHARACTERS

Matthew Perry, who portrayed Chandler Bing, once revealed during his
conversation with Tom Power that he knew he was Chandler as soon as he read the
script. Just like the character, Perry was also sarcastic and had a troubled
childhood. Moreover, fans have seen Courteney Cox channeling Monica Geller
several times in her hilarious Instagram clips.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]BURBANK,
CA – SEPTEMBER 12: (EXCLUSIVE, NO U.S. TABLOID SALES) The cast of the hit NBC
series “Friends,” (L-R) Courteney Cox Arquette, Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston,
David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, listen to Lisa Kudrow, sing a during one of
their last shows on the Warner Bros lot Sept. 12, 2003 in Burbank, CA.

Emmys, and is one of the biggest successes in television history. (Photo by

The common thing between her and Monica is their obsession with neat and clean
places. Just like Ross Geller, David Schwimmer was also extremely emotional and
caring. And yes, Matt LeBlanc was also an aspiring actor with no money just the
way Joey was in the show. Although Lisa Kudrow was not as weird as Phoebe
Buffay, she certainly had her own madness to add to her character.

show ever. Are you also a Friends fan? What do you think about Jennifer
