Friends star reveals cheeky improv made Matthew Perry blush in scene

As a film enthusiast with a penchant for behind-the-scenes stories, I find Jane Sibbett’s anecdote about making Matthew Perry blush on the set of Friends absolutely delightful. It’s not every day you hear about an actor taking such a spontaneous and humorous approach to their role, especially when it comes to breastfeeding a baby on set!


As a passionate fan of all things cinema, let me share an amusing behind-the-scenes tale from the set of Friends. You know Jane Sibbett, the talented actress who portrayed Ross’s ex-wife Carol? Well, it turns out she had quite the knack for making our beloved Chandler Bong (that’s Matthew Perry to you) blush!

In an interview with The Sun, Sibbett (the actress who played Carol) shared that Perry’s (Chandler’s actor) awkwardness during the scene where Carol breastfeeds Ben in “The One With the Breast Milk” was partly acting, as Perry was genuinely caught off guard by a choice made by Sibbett.

In response to your query, “Sibbett explained that he attempted to care for the babies, with the mother’s consent, which resulted in the amusing reaction from Matt Perry.

He exclaimed unexpectedly, ‘Look at Sibbett’s exposed chest!’ Thinking I would act out breastfeeding in a theatrical manner, he wasn’t aware that I was actually going to do it.

I felt incredibly relaxed in front of the crowd, and in a spontaneous moment, I exposed my breast to them. The baby seemed surprised and confused as he hadn’t been breastfed before. He didn’t understand what was happening, which made his reaction all the more amusing. That’s why Matt found it hilarious too.

As I scrutinize that take more closely, it feels like I’m catching him red-handed, literally blushing! It’s absolutely hysterical.

“Of course he had seen women’s breasts before, but what made him laugh was the unexpected moment I revealed mine – those large and full of milk – for the first time. That was amusing.

It’s been shared by one of the scriptwriters, Adam Chase, that the romantic storyline between characters Joey and Rachel in the show didn’t sit well with the acting crew.

He said: “The cast was very much against it. It felt very incestuous to them.”

In the process, it came to light that the clever ploy by Joey to trick Chandler, when Phoebe was attempting to charm him, was actually Devised by Matt LeBlanc (Joey’s actor), himself.

I was told, “It’s as if we need to create a moment to increase the tension. It seems like he suggested, ‘Why don’t we have him casually unbutton his shirt with one hand… and then the shirt unexpectedly opens?’

And they asked, “Is it alright for you to wear a bra?” To which I replied, “A bra? That’s less revealing than a swimsuit! It’s perfectly fine.
