Jennifer Aniston thinks Sebastian Stan would've been great on Friends : 'You were a Chanandler Bong'

It's the age-old question that has become a staple of pop culture since Friends first debuted in 1993: Are you a Rachel? A Phoebe? A Monica? Maybe you're a Joey, a Chandler, or a Ross. Thanks to Variety's Actor on Actor interview with Jennifer Aniston and Sebastian Stan, we know which famous Friend the Marvel actor best known for playing James "Bucky" Barnes would be — and, according to Aniston, he would have made "a great cast member."

"You would've been a Joey," Aniston told Stan, who actually disagreed with her assessment.

"I always came closest to Chandler," Stan told her, adding how his own group of friends would always "cast" themselves based on their personalities. "Because I get very sort of neurotic. And I just used to die laughing."

"Good to know," Aniston said, accepting Stan's answer. "You were a Chanandler Bong," she said, referencing a Friends joke about Chandler Bing's name being misspelled on his TV Guide.

Stan recently demonstrated that "neurotic" side of himself in Pam & Tommy, the Hulu miniseries about Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's infamous sex tape fiasco, when he told EW about his intense journey to physically transform into the Mötley Crüe drummer.

"I was just running and trying to get 20,000 steps a day, and then I was fasting for 16 to 18 hours a day," he said. "And that definitely does something, especially if you're [driving] in traffic. But I'm proud of the whole thing."

The Joey-Chandler moment wasn't the only Friends-related discussion that came up during the interview — Aniston reminisced about the "time travel" return to Central Perk and that famous apartment with the purple door in last year's Friends reunion, which led Stan to bring up that the absence of social media was a special moment in history that can never be recreated.

"I'm thinking if you had social media when Friends was happening, it's almost like I'm sure the network would have said, 'Hey, can we get a TikTok video of you guys?' And so much of that was preserved for the screen," Stan said.

"I get very nostalgic about the past," Aniston replied, adding that she finds it "interesting" that it's still such a beloved series because of the way social interaction has changed. "What are they relating to? You look over at a table of four people having a meal. And there's usually three people on a phone, just scrolling mindlessly."
