《老友記》幕後的10件軼事 (2):考克斯拒絕出演瑞秋

9 Courtney Cox turned down the opportunity to be Rachel

9. 柯特妮·考克斯拒絕出演瑞秋

It’s hard to imagine the role of Rachel being played by anyone other than Jennifer Aniston. However, the role was originally supposed to go to Courtney Cox. Cox turned down the role because she said she preferred to play Monica, because she felt that character was “stronger”. Thank goodness she and the creators went that route, because Cox as Monica was absolute perfection! Heck, could you honestly picture any of the cast members playing another character?

很難想象瑞秋這個角色不是由珍妮佛·安妮斯頓而是由別人出演。然而，該角色原定的扮演者其實是柯特妮·考克斯。考克斯拒絕出演這個角色，她說她更樂意出演莫妮卡，因爲她覺得莫妮卡的性格“更強悍”。謝天謝地，她和創作人最後都認同了她的選擇，因爲考克斯絕對是扮演莫妮卡的最佳人選！而且，你能想象得到《老友記》中任意一位演員出演不是他或她的角色會是什麼樣子嗎？！

Jennifer Aniston was also the last person to be cast. At the time, she was still a relatively unknown actress, but that changed rapidly with the success of Friends. Today, Aniston is considered an A-list celebrity and movie star, who has even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

珍妮佛·安妮斯頓是最後一位進組的人。當時她還是一位默默無聞的小演員，但《老友記》的播出很快就讓她一炮而紅。如今安妮斯頓已經是一位公認的社會名流、最好的電影明星，她甚至在好萊塢星光大道上擁有了自己的一顆星。
