Since wrapping Friends, the Friends cast have gone on to varying levels of success and built quite the passionate followings, but who reigns supreme in the eyes of Twitter?
Although it’s been more than 15 years since the series wrapped its 10 season run on NBC, Friends remains one of the most-watched series thanks to syndication and streaming. Fans still can’t get enough of Ross, Rachel and the entire gang who have now been a part of our lives for more than a quarter of a century.
Like with many passionate fandoms, the Friends fandom has remained well-invested in the lives of the show’s core cast following them across their careers and enjoying the number of movies and television series the Friends cast has gone on to star in.
Friends fans have also jumped at the chance to keep up with their favorite friends with help from social media, taking to Twitter to follow their favorite Friends cast members as a means of keeping up with their latest endeavors.
Which Friends cast member has the most Twitter followers?
When it comes to Twitter, some might assume that Jennifer Aniston would come out on top as the most followed member of the Friends cast. However, it just so happens that Aniston does not currently have an official Twitter account and therefore comes in at the bottom of the pack as the least followed cast member — though we’re pretty certain she’ll easily claim the No. 1 spot when the day finally comes.
Of the Friends cast members who do happen to have active Twitter accounts, actors Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer come in at No. 5 and 4 with their respective followings of 519.7K and 665.3K.
Beginning our look at the Top 3 most followed Friends cast members is Lisa Kudrow, who currently is followed by an impressive 1.2 million accounts.
That, ironically, makes Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox — who of course played lovebirds Chandler and Monica — the most followed members of the cast.
As NBC was putting together the Friends cast, Courteney Cox came into the show as the most recognizable star thanks to her various roles including commercial work and an appearance in Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” video. Meanwhile, Friends served as Matthew Perry’s breakout project putting him on firmly on the map as a comedic force.
But who exactly outranks the other to claim the title of the most followed Friends cast member?
That honor goes to Perry who is followed by 1.5 million individuals on Twitter, besting Cox’s 1.3 million followers by the narrowest of margins!
