Friends Stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer Almost Had an Off-Screen Romance

Call it "The One With the Almost Romance." In a clip from HBO Max's Friends: The Reunion, stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer reveal that they both harbored crushes on each other during Friends' first season, but nothing ever came of it. That's probably for the best, as an IRL Rachel-Ross relationship probably would have broke the fragile, early-stage internet.
