For those who have been waiting for the much talked about the reunion of 'Friends' cast, there is some disappointing news. Actor David Schwimmer, who played Ross on the show, brushed aside the speculations about the reunion in an interview to The Guardian.&nbsp; 
In fact, the 53-year-old actor, who played the character of Ross Geller in the sitcom for 10 seasons often, gets bugged about getting the whole crew together for a `Friends` rehash.&nbsp; 
 
The actor stated that he doesn't see any valid reason to resurrect the 90s TV sitcom which attained&nbsp;cult status over the years.&nbsp;

"I just don`t think it`s possible, given everyone`s different career trajectories.I think everyone feels the same: Why mess with what felt like the right way to end the series? I don`t want to do anything for the money. It would have to make sense creatively and nothing I`ve heard so far presented to us makes sense," Schwimmer&nbsp;said.&nbsp; 
 
Schwimmer stated that he did not need a reboot to catch up with his co-stars from the show- the six actors remained close friends even after the show ended and<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-joins-instagram-and-breaks-the-internet-with-her-first-post-256191"> still meet.&nbsp;</a>

The actor though stated that if a reboot was indeed planned he would want it to have a diverse cast.&nbsp; 
 
Schwimmer rooted for diversity and inclusiveness even back in the days when he was filming for the series. Hence he expects to see the same if a `Friends` revival does come to fruition. Elaborating upon his push for a diverse cast, Schwimmer said, "Maybe there should be an all-black Friends or an all-Asian Friends. But I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of colour. One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian American woman, and later I dated African American women. That was a very conscious push on my part."&nbsp; 
 
Earlier, Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel on the show, had hinted <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-was-not-bluffing-a-friends-reunion-is-indeed-being-planned-261728">that a reunion of sorts </a>was indeed being planned although she did not specify if it would be a fiction or non-fiction.&nbsp;

Friends: David Schwimmer squashes reunion rumours, wants a diverse cast for reboot

It looks like Charlie Puth is the noted number one fan of the '90s famous American sitcom 'Friends'&nbsp;as he knew about the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-was-not-bluffing-a-friends-reunion-is-indeed-being-planned-261728">'Friends reunion'</a>&nbsp;well before the rest of us. 
 
The 27-year-old singer, who is a real-life friend of Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox has been knowing on the big news for some time now. While confessing in an interview, he said, "I knew there was something happening and now that it's in the news, I can say I knew the news. 
 
''I was told not to say anything," reported E!Online. The 'Mother'&nbsp;singer can't be more excited as now that the secret is out about an HBO Max special in&nbsp;the works. Puth is happy to offer his talents to the team, as he said "I could play Chandler's long lost son," he goes on to add, "People think that I am very similar to him". 
 
&nbsp;And though the 'Attention' singer is yet to meet Matthew Perry to prove the resemblance, his bond with the friends cast, namely Lisa Kudrow, Aniston, and Cox is at an all-time high. Put admitted the fact in the interview where he says," These are like my friends, I've somehow become an honorary friend which is pretty cool". 
 
And while we wait on the one where they reunite, Puth is focused on his music. The songwriter said the same at an event "I'm a one-man-band, so I'm making this music myself, essentially,". 
 
The 'We Don't Talk Anymore'&nbsp;singer disclosed, "It takes me a little longer to get out the music". And by next year, be prepared to see a lot more from him, including a possible tour and third album. After all, he creates pop-up studios in his hotel rooms, allowing him to always work on the go. 
 
The Grammy nominee has finally learned to let go of expectations and just be his true self, as he said, "When I first got signed, everybody was like, Be super cool and don't show this side of yourself, " he recalled. "Turns out, this is the thing that people care about the most. I`m embracing the nerd...I'm geek chic."
