One of Friends' most popular guest stars didn't think they'd be famous enough for a cameo, and I almost can't believe it

Friends While the focus was on Central Perk’s six ubiquitous guests, the NBC sitcom was known for its performances Supporting characters that we still love today as well as one A+ list of guest stars. By Bruce Willis – whose family shared some of these sob photos from her Thanksgiving feast – For Julia Roberts, it was a joy to see who would show up next Friends. However, it turns out that one of the show’s top guests didn’t think she was famous enough to make her cameo, and I’m shocked she would ever think such a thing.

Isabella Rossellini, who starred in the mystery thriller conclave on the Film calendar 2024He was brilliant in several films in the late 1980s and early 1990s including Blue velvet, Wild at heart And Death suits her. While these films would definitely have shared a fan base with Friendsshe still didn’t think she was well known enough to appear on one of the shows best sitcoms of all time. Rossellini said EW:

I was surprised because back then – maybe still now, but maybe to a lesser extent then – there weren’t many foreign actors recognized in America. And so I was very surprised that Friends invited me not only as a guest but also as a star. They recognize me and know my name. So I was very… I said, “Really?” Am I so well-known that I can act like a well-known person? That was really great and it was a pleasure to work with them.

I have to respectfully disagree with the actress because she doesn’t think she has enough credit to pull off the cameo as herself. David Lynch was nominated for an Oscar in 1986 for his neo-noir thriller Blue velvetin which Isabella Rossellini starred alongside Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, and Lynch also directed her and Dern Wild at heart in 1990. Death suits her stands up to re-watching To this day – no surprise considering it won an Oscar for visual effects and was adapted into a Broadway play.

But even if you didn’t know Isabella Rossellini before she strolled into Central Perk in the season three episode “The One With Frank Jr.”, how could you not be a fan after watching her portray Ross (David Schwimmer) completely dismantled?

As a result, Ross has compiled a list of five celebrities he is likely to sleep with as part of his relationship with Rachel (Jennifer Aniston). Isabella Rossellini was a finalist, but Ross ultimately replaced her because she was “too international” and therefore less likely to meet him in his home country.

So who should wander into the café? Of course, none other than Isabella Rossellini. After getting the green light from Rachel to add an “alternative” to his list, he approaches the actress and explains the situation to her. However, when Rossellini learns that she isn’t actually on the list, she hilariously tells Ross:

You know, it’s ironic because I have a list of five goofy coffeehouse guys, and yesterday I just attacked you about that guy over there.

Honestly, her statement, “It’s laminated!” alone was award-worthy in my opinion.

Isabella Rossellini may not have thought she was famous enough for the role, but at least she didn’t experience what John Stamos did when he guest-starred. The Full house alum recalled the embarrassing moment when he made his entrance Friends. He was told to pause for applause, but the applause never came. Matthew Perry stepped in to save him, but what a bruise to his ego.
