Actress Brooke Shields shares a story from her time on the set of 'Friends' about an inside joke with Matthew Perry that wouldn't be acceptable today.
Actress Brooke Shields recently shared an amusing story about her time on the set of the beloved sitcom 'Friends'. Shields, known for her role in the movie 'Pretty Baby,' appeared in season 2 of the show as Erika, a die-hard Joey Tribbiani fan who mistakenly believed Joey was actually his 'Days of Our Lives' character, Dr. Drake Ramoray.
During her guest appearance, Shields was eager to connect with the show's established cast, including Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and the late Matthew Perry. Observing the cast's tight-knit group dynamic and their frequent inside jokes, Shields attempted to impress them by mimicking one of Perry's recurring gags. Perry would often slide across the floor in front of a female cast member and pretend to look up her skirt. Shields, trying to fit in, took this cue and attempted to do the same, throwing herself on the floor in front of Perry and pretending to look up his pant leg. The cast remained silent for what felt like an eternity to Shields, who thought she had completely bombed the attempt. However, Perry eventually burst into laughter, followed by the rest of the cast. Shields recounts this experience in her new memoir, 'Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old,' published on January 14, 2024. She writes about how the cast invited her to lunch and the gym on the lot after this lighthearted incident, feeling like she had finally earned their acceptance.The actress also notes that this particular joke would likely not be well-received today, as it would likely be considered unacceptable and could result in being 'canceled.' This anecdote serves as a reminder of how societal norms and humor evolve over time
