Friends cast pictured in bizarre promo photos after reunion news
A number of the strange photoshoots the Friends cast were forced to participate in have resurfaced in the wake of the reunion news.
The images were shared by writer Sophie Louise Hall on Twitter, and show former cast members David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry in various ridiculous poses and scenarios.
In one, the six actors sit astride a horse that has been digitally stretched. In another, they appear in a magazine shoot that is, for some reason, a cross between Wild West and burlesque-themed.

Fans pointed out that many images had fallen foul of poor Photoshop skills, such as the one where characters Rachel, Phoebe and Monica try to pull Ross away from Joey and Chandler – only the women have been Photoshopped so they are visibly bigger than the men.
News that an official reunion between the original cast members will finally happen has been met with widespread excitement from fans.
A number of celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Laura Dern, reacted to an Instagram post by Aniston confirming the one-off special would take place.
The programme has been described as an unscripted special during which all six stars will return to Stage 24, the sitcom’s original soundstage on the Warner Bros studio lot in Burbank, California.
