Brooke Shields recently opened up about her time on the hit TV show Friends, specifically her brief cameo appearance and a memorable prank played by co-star Matthew Perry. Shields, who played Joey's stalker in an episode during the show's second season, reflected on her experience during an interview on The View.
The 59-year-old actress shared that she was a huge fan of the show and all she wanted was for the cast to like her. However, she felt like an outsider as they had a tight-knit bond and inside jokes. Shields also revealed that while trying to fit in, she ended up getting rug burns all over her knees after attempting to copy a prank Perry used to do behind the scenes.
Perry would run and throw himself on the floor in front of a girl, pretending to look up her skirt. Shields thought this would be a great way to make him laugh and show her appreciation for his humor. So she took a running start and threw herself on the ground, pretending to look up his pant leg. However, the moment was met with silence and Shields felt like a crazy person. But then, Perry started laughing and the rest of the cast followed suit. He even asked her how she knew to do that, to which Shields replied that she had been watching him and was grateful for his humor.
The episode in which Shields appeared also gave us the iconic picture of Joey with a turkey on his head. This episode is particularly memorable as it aired in 2003, just one year before Perry's character Chandler Bing said goodbye to the show along with the rest of the beloved cast.
Shields' comments come just days after Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay on the show, revealed that she recently found a note from Perry hidden inside a Friends prop he had gifted her as a memento. The pair had formed a close friendship during their time on the show and have remained close since the finale aired in 2004.
Kudrow explained on the Drew Barrymore show that Perry gave her the Cookie Time jar from Monica's kitchen after they had filmed their final scenes. The actress had kept the jar for all these years but only recently stumbled upon a note Perry had placed inside. She didn't reveal the contents of the letter but simply said that timing is everything.
