Matthew Perry revealed that the stunning Julia Roberts agreed to appear in the Friends episode under one interesting condition.

26 Years After Julia Roberts Stole the Friends Spotlight, Matthew Perry Revealed She Did It Under One Condition

When the iconic sitcom Friends debuted in 1994, it gave new meaning to the
comedy genre. As a result, Thursdays were the most enjoyable day of the week.
Further, the actors undoubtedly made an impression on the viewers, but the
character of Chandler Bing, portrayed by Matthew Perry, stood out the most. But
before Chandler found his happy ending with Monica, Julia Roberts’ character
exacted her high school revenge.

The Mystic Pizza actress starred in The One After the Superbowl Part 2 episode.
More than her appearance, the terms under which she agreed to appear on the show
piqued everyone’s interest.


WHAT WAS JULIA ROBERTS’ CONDITION FOR APPEARING ON THE SHOW?

Perry revealed in his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing last
year that Roberts was given the role of Susie Moss on Friends in season 2. The
only condition she had was that Perry had to teach her quantum physics. Further,
he also joked that the very next day he sent her a paper on wave-particle
duality, the uncertainty principle, and entanglement. The actress was so
impressed by this that she not only agreed to do the role, but also gifted the
actor lots of bagels.

The commendable acting of Roberts and other star guests of that episode such as
Jean-Claude Van Damme, Brooke Shields, and Chris Isaak made it the most-watched
episode in the history of Friends. Given the number of celebrities involved in
this episode, Roberts’ request was certainly unusual. Another important element
of her appearance was that she was dating Perry in real life at that point. As a
result, this fact adds to the intrigue of this episode.

Aside from Roberts and Perry’s off-screen romance, Brad Pitt, who was married to
Jennifer Aniston at the time, made an appearance in the show.


BRAD PITT’S AMAZING CAMEO IN FRIENDS

The Bullet Train actor made a cameo appearance on the renowned sitcom in the
episode titled The One with the Rumor. He played Will Colbert in season 8 of the
show, which served as the traditional Thanksgiving episode. It focused on Will’s
hatred for Aniston’s Rachel Green. Further, it was also revealed that Rachel had
bullied Will in her teenage years because of his weight. Also, he was the
founder member of the “I hate Rachel Green” club alongside Ross.

Pitt’s portrayal of the character earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding
Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. At the time of his cameo, the actor was in a
happy marriage with the Horrible Bosses actresses. Further, they remained in a
tight partnership until their divorce in 2005. Even after so many years Pitt and
Aniston still share a very good bond.
