As the highly anticipated 'Friend: Reunion' aired on HBO Max on Wednesday (local time), it featured some intriguing conversations- one being- actors Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer admitting that they used to 'crush' on each other. According to People magazine, during 'Friends: Reunion' special, host James Corden asked point-blank whether any of the cast members of the hit NBC sitcom, which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, ever engaged in off-screen romances with each other.

The 52-year-old star Aniston, chimed in first to suggest that Schwimmer jump in. "I mean, in the first season, I had a major crush on Jen. At some point, we were crushing hard on each other. But it was like two ships passing, because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that," Schwimmer admitted. "Bulls'''," Matt LeBlanc joked under his breath.

The 'Murder Mystery' star then recalled a conversation she had with Schwimmer about their eventual first kiss. "Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, 'It is going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television. Sure enough, the first time we kissed was in that coffee shop," said Aniston.

She continued, "So we just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel." Per People magazine, Schwimmer also remembered how he used to cosy up to Aniston during the first couple of years.
