Guest Stars on Friends - One Of My Favourites Has To Be Brad Pitt Starring As Will Colbert

There have been many guest stars on Friends over the years, and I guess as the hit show got bigger so did the special guest stars. However, amongst the various famous faces to appear on one of TV's biggest shows, one of my all time favourites has to be Brad Pitt, who starred as Will Colbert. Brad, of course, ended up dating, and then marrying Rachel aka Jennifer Aniston, but do you recall this hilarious guest on Friends?

Will was Ross's fat friend from school who co-founded the "I hate Rachel Green club". The only other member was the exchange student from Thailand, although Takia didn't seem to know much about it. Monica also had a soft spot for Will as she was known as his thin friend whilst at school. Will's hatred for Rachel seems to stem from the fact that he was an unpopular fat kid, whereas she was an extremely popular cheerleader, and thus made his life hell.

It wasn't until years later, when Will had lost over 180 pounds and was the smouldering and sexy guest who visited for Thanksgiving, that Rachel finally noticed him. It's a hilarious turn of events at the Thanksgiving dinner, and there are numerous references made about Will's stunning good looks - my favourite of which has to be Chandler Mentioning that he thinks it would be better for his ego if him and Will did not stand next to each other.

During the dinner, accounts of the past slowly unravel. Firstly, we discover that the I hate Rachel Green club started a rumour that Rachel was a hermaphrodite cheerleader from Long Island. Possibly even funnier was the fact that Ross had a secret fling with the school's 50-year-old librarian, Miss Altman! Unfortunately, Will also reveals that the Thai exchange student had a similar liaison with Miss Altman.

Brad Pitt's appearance as one of the many guest stars on Friends tells us exactly how big the show about six New Yorkers actually got. In fact, I would imagine that Brad was the biggest Hollywood draw at that moMent in time. However, the producers of the show used Brad's looks as a source of fun and hilarity. The fact that Phoebe spends the whole episode trying to get Will to take off his shirt is an equal cause of amuseMent. Of course, Phoebe finally gets her way, well sort of, when she hugs Will as opposed to giving a high five. Obviously, Phoebe let us now it was just how she imagined it would be.
