Friends star James Michael Tyler says he hasn’t heard from on-screen crush Jennifer Aniston for 15 years.
The actor – who played coffee shop boss Gunther – worked closely with Jen on the hit sitcom for a decade as his character lusted after Rachel.
But after filming ended in 2004 they lost touch.
James, 57, told the Daily Star Sunday: “I haven’t seen Jennifer since the wrap party, honestly. It’s been 15 years since it ended.
“That was a time of our lives when we were lucky enough to be able to work together for 10 years and have that sort of chemistry.
“She lives in another city. I’m not going to go and hang outside her house and wait for her to come outside and say hello. That would be kind of weird!”
He added: “It’s nothing personal. Actors move on. It’s been a long time. I’m married and other people are married. Things change.”
It has been 25 years since Friends first aired and fans across the world have been celebrating the anniversary.
James said: “It’s humbling. It’s bewildering in many ways. I’ve been re-watching the show and now I get it. I get why it has all these fans. When I watch it now I can remove myself from it.
“Friends is comfort TV. You can kick back and laugh. It’s feel-good TV.”
James is often asked if there will be a reunion for a new episode or film version.
He said: “I just say to people, ‘I’m not the boss!’. The creators of the show have all said it won’t happen.
“My opinion is there’s really no need for a reboot. It was a perfect series that was wrapped up quite well in a nice little bow. It was lightening in a bottle. Why revisit something?”
Comedy Central is hosting immersive attraction FriendsFestive, which has the show’s sets themed for Christmas. It runs in London from November 28 to December 21. For details visit friendsfestive.co.uk.
