Jennifer Aniston “can’t help” watching “Friends” reruns

If you can’t resist watching reruns of “Friends,” it turns out you’re not alone!

Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green on the hit show from 1994 to 2004, visited BBC’s The One Show on Monday night to promote her upcoming comedy Office Christmas Party when talk quickly turned to her time on Friends.

When one host asked her if she will stop and watch a rerun of the classic sitcom when she sees it, she replied, “Yeah! I can’t help it. First, I’m trying to remember which episode it is and half the time I’m saying to myself, ‘I don’t remember that.’ You get sucked into the nostalgia of it.”

And though she may love her time on the show, there’s one thing that the entire cast didn’t exactly enjoy.

“No one was really a big fan of that theme song,” she admitted. “We felt it was a little, I dunno, dancing in a pond, a fountain felt sort of odd, but we did it.”

These days, Aniston, who previously served as an executive producer on her 2014 drama Cake, wants to try her hand at directing.

“I think it’s more about being in front of the camera for so many years and you start to just realize you’ve collected so much information and knowledge about it and how much fun that would be to step out from in front of the camera and go behind,” she explained.
