Has starred in a string of Hollywood movies since playing Rachel Green

in which she calls the “biggest gift” of her life.

But she says she doubts she will ever be as happy as she was then.

When asked what her favourite job has been during her glittering career, Jennifer said: “Obviously Friends — that’s a no-brainer.

“I would have to say that is number one.

“Every single day I miss the schedule of filming . . . it’s the best schedule ever on the planet.”

Jennifer also reveals she would be reluctant to do another TV sitcom because it could never rank up there with the and -winning series.

She told the SmartLess podcast: “If I knew it would be the same experience as I had with those guys, yes, but I doubt that will ever happen.”

A massive 52million US viewers tuned in for the series finale, called The Last One, which was the most watched television episode of the 2000s.

Along the way, it also made each of the actors incredibly rich.

Today, the surviving former co-stars remain as close in real life as they were on screen.

Reflecting on the show’s heyday, Jennifer said: “It’s so strange to even think that it’s 30 years old, because I remember the day that it was going to premiere on television, on NBC.

“Me and Matthew Perry were having lunch somewhere and we knew Lisa was getting her hair coloured.

“So we ran into the hair salon and I snuck up and she was in the sink, the hair bowl.

“And I took the nozzle and started washing her hair from the guy that was supposed to be doing it, and it definitely flew out of control and that was unfortunate, but the excitement we had — it feels like yesterday.”

She added of the much-loved show: “So the fact that it had this long, wonderful life, and it still means a lot to people, is one of the greatest gifts I think all five of us, all six of us . . . we never could have imagined.”

Jennifer told the Variety YouTube channel that they will forever see each other as “family”.

She added: “We still see each other.

“I talked on FaceTime with Court last night for, like, an hour, and Lisa and the boys . . . it’s a family forever.”

But despite making each of them multi-millionaires and cementing their acting careers, the time after Friends ended was tinged by tragedy.

“You just don’t think it.

“So here I am today.

“The ship has sailed.”

Jennifer believes that the world was a very different place when Friends was released.

It was just two years after people were able to text for the first time, and smartphones had yet to be invented.

She told the Lunch With Bruce podcast: “So much has happened since then.

“The world has completely changed.

“We all went through things personally that were hard, wonderful, you know, difficult changes, unexpected this and that, and the world changed.

“What did we do before phones?

“How did we all get so quickly addicted to a device?

“I know it was built to hijack our brains and your mind and it did it.

“But what did we do?

“We would just talk with each other, laugh with each other, tell stories.

“You didn’t have to run to a phone.”
