Fans of the iconic sitcom Friends were sent into a frenzy this week as Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox reunited for a hilarious new video. The former co-stars, who played Rachel Green and Monica Geller, debated the age-old question of whether blondes truly have more fun in a clip promoting Aniston's haircare brand, LolaVie.
A Playful Hair Transformation
The video, shared on Instagram on Wednesday, opened with Aniston, 56, pondering aloud: 'Would I ever go brunette? I am brunette!' Her former on-screen roommate, Cox, 61, then walked into the frame behind her. 'Oh you are.. well come here,' Cox said, leaning over to drape her own dark tresses over Aniston's shoulders. 'This is what she looks like brunette...'
Aniston reacted with mock surprise, exclaiming: 'Wow it's dark! Its dark brown. This is like the Horrible Bosses character I played.' She was referring to her role as the dark-haired dentist Julia in the 2011 comedy film. Cox immediately chimed in with praise, saying: 'I love Horrible Bosses - you were a badass dentist!'
Fan Frenzy and Lasting Friendship
Aniston captioned the playful post: 'Do blondes *reeeaaalllyyy* have more fun??❤️ #lolavie.' The response from fans was instantaneous and overwhelming. Comments flooded in, with followers writing: 'Pls this duo is the best!!', 'The most beautiful friendship and girls,' and 'They're hilarious ❤️ love these girls so much!!!' The reunion served as a joyful reminder of the enduring bond between the cast members, who have remained close since the show ended in 2004.
A Poignant Tribute to Matthew Perry
The lighthearted video comes after the Friends cast united for a moving tribute to their late co-star, Matthew Perry, in December. Perry, who played Chandler Bing, tragically died in October 2023 at the age of 54 from the acute effects of ketamine.
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer all contributed to a special charity art project. They signed limited-edition prints where the actual soundwaves of the Friends theme song were transformed into colourful artwork by artist Tim Wakefield. Signed prints sold for $600, with all profits supporting charities chosen by the cast, including the Matthew Perry Foundation.
The Foundation, established after Perry's death to aid those struggling with addiction, shared the heart-warming initiative on Instagram. It featured one of Perry's most resonant quotes: 'When I die, I don't want Friends to be the first thing that's mentioned. I want helping others to be the first thing that's mentioned.' The project deeply moved fans, with many expressing how much they still miss the beloved actor.
