Jennifer added, "Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, 'It's going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television. The actress continued, “Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. We just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel."
David also remembered cuddling with Aniston on the couch during the first season of shooting. He shared, "When we had breaks from rehearsal, there were moments we would cuddle on the couch. We would spoon and fall asleep on the couch and I kept thinking, how did not everyone know we were crushing on each other?"
