Former “Friends” star David Schwimmer, 43, just announced his engagement with the much younger London-based photographer, Zoe Buckman, who is 24. Schwimmer played Dr. Ross Gellar on the hot sitcom, and one of the plotlines was always whether Ross and Rachel, played by superstar Jennifer Aniston, would ever fall in love and get married. Schwimmer and Buckman met in London in 2007 while he was directing the flick, Run Fatboy Run. While paparazzi cameras have been peeled for shots of engagement rings, none of have been spotted just yet. But, considering the cast of Friends was making a million dollars each per episode during the last season, we can expect the ring to be impressive.
The news comes on the heels of Aniston’s press tour for The Bounty Hunter. When David Letterman asked about the engagement, Aniston responded that she had no clue who he got engaged to.
The engagement news has caused some bloggers to note that the wedding would effectively be a “Friends” reunion if all stars showed up, especially the more high profile ones like Aniston and Courtney Cox, now starring in her own hit sitcom, Cougar Town. Whenever the wedding is, it will surely be widely covered if the entire cast of “Friends” shows up.
