Fans of 90s TV show Friends have been desperate for a reunion pretty much ever since the show finished in 2004. The New York-based show followed the lives of Rachel Green, Phoebe Buffay, Monica Geller, Ross Geller, Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani, and was a hit pretty much around the world.
But since the last episode, which aired 15 years ago, each of the main six actors - Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc - have all denied the possibility of a reunion, saying that it wouldn't be the same in their fifties as it was in their twenties and thirties.
However, Jennifer AKA Rachel has now revealed that she's pretty sure all six of the main actors would actually be up for one last ride in Central Perk, telling Ellen DeGeneres that it could happen!
Jennifer, who turned 50 in February, revealed in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she believes everyone involved would be up for reprising their roles one last time.
She said, "Ohhhkay. Why not? You know what, because, listen, I told you this. I would do it... The girls would do it. And the boys would do it, I'm sure. Listen. Anything could happen."

However, the other five have previously refuted the idea of reprising their old roles again, with Lisa Kudrow recently saying, "They're rebooting everything. I don't know how that works with Friends, though.
"That was about people in their twenties, thirties. The show isn't about people in their forties, fifties. And if we have the same problems, that's just sad."
