Jennifer Aniston: I hardly see the Friends cast but they’re still like family

Jennifer Aniston has said she still considers her former Friends star her family, even though she hardly sees most of them.

The Marley & Me star is still best friends with Courteney Cox and is regularly spotted out and about with Courteney & her husband David Arquette - but she hardly sees their other co-stars - Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer - because everyone is busy with their own lives.

She explained: “You have grand plans, like ‘We’ll have dinner once a month.’ And then, life happens; times change. It leaves me feeling sort of melancholy but, you know, something like that will always be there.

“We were as close as a family could ever be during those 10 years. They will always be my family, whether we are in the same room and talking regularly or not. We grew up together.”

The hit sitcom ended in 2004.
