Friends reunited: Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer welcome Jennifer Aniston to Instagram

Jennifer Aniston‘s Friends co-stars Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer have welcomed her to Instagram with a couple of touching references to the beloved sitcom.

Aniston made her debut on the platform with a photo of herself alongside Cox, Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, and gained 6.5 million followers in a single day.

Cox welcomed Aniston with a throwback photo of the pair fit with a tweaked reference to an iconic Friends line.

“Welcome to the social media world... It sucks. You’re gonna love it!” she wrote. 

In the show, Cox’s character Monica says the above line, switching out “social media world” with the “real world”, in an episode where she decides to take a job as a waitress at Central Perk.


Meanwhile, Schwimmer posted a photo featuring lego versions of their characters Rachel and Ross playing the keyboard.

Aniston’s initial post attracted so much attention it temporarily crashed the page, which is now back up and running. 

There have been partial Friends reunion photos over the past years, but this is the first time in a long while that all six stars have posed together in the same picture.
