Why Cole Sprouse And Paul Rudd Weren’t In ‘Friends: The Reunion’

The world finally got to see the highly anticipated “Friends: The Reunion,” but some familiar faces were missing from the HBO Max event, Cole Sprouse and Paul Rudd! Even though the special brought back all the nostalgia, fans of the show noticed the two significant guest stars were missing. Paul, who played Phoebe’s husband Mike, and Cole, who played Ross’ son Ben. The director of the reunion, Ben Winston, told The Wrap that fitting everyone into the special was hard. “Well, we couldn’t have everybody on, because it’s only an hour and 45 minutes. And you’ve got to pay attention — the main nub of the show has got to be about the six cast members,” Ben said.
