We refuse to listen.

We are currently blocking our ears and singing I’ll Be There For You over and over again. 

While we all eagerly await a Friends reunion, it seems some of the cast aren’t so sure.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, James Michael Tyler (aka Gunther) revealed he doesn’t think a reunion should happen.

He said: “I don’t think there will be a reunion. In fact I know the executive producers have shot that idea down.

“They wrapped up the series really well so I don’t think there’s a need for it.

“I mean, would you really want to watch a TV series about a group of people in their forties still struggling like that?

“That would be a tragedy not a comedy!”

Friends wrapped in 2004. 

However, the 53-year-old did express his excitement for the upcoming Friendsfest – a celebration of the show’s 21st birthday.

Speaking about the event which takes place in London from 16th – 20th September, he said: “It’s a great opportunity for fans in the UK to see all the real props that were used on the show.”
