When we think about some iconic sitcoms, Friends is the first one that comes to our minds. It has been almost two decades since the show came to an end after its ten seasons run, but fans still revisit it. While there are very minute details fans have noticed over the years, many failed to see how Matthew Perry did not have the tip of his middle finger. Yes, you read that right; while Chandler Bing missed the tip of his toe, Matthew did not have the tip of one of his fingers.
Apart from Perry, Friends cast Courteney Cox as Monica Geller, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green, Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay, Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani and David Schwimmer as Ross Geller. The show began in 1994 and came to an end after its ten seasons in 2004.
Throughout the course of filming the sitcom, Matthew Perry went through alcohol and drug addiction, a visit to rehab and many physical transformations due to his health. All his transformations were visible to the viewers, but many missed that in many scenes, the actor’s middle finger of his right hand was shorter than the index and ring fingers.
