We’re still best of Friends

FRIENDS Re-united! The TV hit series finished more than 14 years ago but its stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are still there for each other.

Cox, 54, who played Monica in the sitcom, showed her support for Aniston, 49, who played Rachel, at the premiere of Aniston’s new Netflix film Dumplin’ in Los Angeles.

The stars leaned in close and smiled for the camera during the afterparty at the Sunset Tower Hotel as if the series was still going on.

Many would like to see Friends return. Cox has said in the past that she wants to play Monica again.

But she said: “That was a story about these group of people that are friends in their 30s who are finding themselves. I don’t know if there’s a way to redo it.”

“Even though I would do anything to be in a room with all of those people acting and having a great time, I don’t see it happening.”

In August Aniston said: “I fantasise about it. It really was the greatest job I ever had. I don’t know what it would look like today, but you never know. So many shows are being successfully rebooted.”

The pals sported all black for the Dumplin’ premiere, with Cox wearing a chic blazer and Aniston a sequined minidress.

Also in attendance were country legend Dolly Parton, who wrote several songs for the film soundtrack, and Danielle MacDonald, who portrays the title character.

Dumplin’ tells the story of a plus-size girl named Willowdean Dumplin’ Dickson, whose mother, played by Aniston, is a former beauty queen who decides to host a beauty pageant.

Willowdean decides to enter as an act of rebellion, ultimately inspiring others who don’t fit the beauty queen archetype to sign up too.
