Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross, Chandler. Six friends whose adventures we have followed so much in Friends that we almost believe that they are part of the family.
From this Friday, the sets in which the group of New York friends evolved will be accessible to the general public thanks to the Friends Experience exhibition which, a few weeks ago, was still in Paris.
This Thursday, for one evening, Belgian people took an exclusive ticket to the Big Apple. During an exceptional opening night where the Central Perk, the apartments of the series or the famous fountain of the credits were materialized to allow them to immortalize the moment.
Among the first to discover the exhibition were Sara de Paduwa and Ophelie Fontana.
The time of a snapshot, the presenter of 6/8 and that of 1 p.m. of RTBF posed in the mythical orange sofa of Central Perk.
“Along with Beverly Hills 90210, Friends is the series that marked my adolescence, says Ophelie Fontana. There is finesse in terms of humor, a well-crafted scenario and endearing characters. It is not by chance that it has crossed the generations.“
A few meters further on, Cyril Detaeye has agreed to put on Chandler’s Joey Tribbiani-style clothes. “If I could identify with one of the characters, I would say it would be Chandler. (laughs), jokes the presenter of It’s you who say it! on VivaCité.
About the mythical scenes, we found Gaetan Bartosz in the skin of Ross Geller. Despite his good humor, the host of Radio Contact could not find a way to pass the sofa down a staircase that was far too narrow.
With undoubtedly the heady generic “I’ll be there for you” in mind, Anne Ruwet, the sportswoman of RTL Belgium, and Thibaut Roland, presenter of On n’est pas des pigeons on La Une and VivaCité, lovers replayed the opening scene in front of the fountain which had become a cult.
It is also at this place that the journalist makes a promise to her companion: to make him discover the cult series that he has never seen before.
