As much as the main cast members such as Jennifer Aniston. Courteney Cox and co. stole the show for ten years. The Kids from friends that featured throughout the comedy played their part, too. But where are they now?
Ben Geller
Four different actors played the part of Ben throughout the show. The first baby on the Friends scene was Ross’ son Ben that he shared with ex-wife Carol. When Ben was born, the first was Michael Gunderson, before twin toddlers Charles Thomas Allen and John Christopher Allen took over. Finally, perhaps the most notable actor was Cole Sprouse, who played an older Ben. Cole went on to have a successful acting career, going on to star in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (alongside his twin Dylan) and Riverdale on Netflix.
Emma Geller Green
More than one actor played similar to her character’s half-brother. the part of Emma. She is also one of the kids from friends. The first twins to play her were Elizabeth and Genevieve Davidson and Alexandra and Athina Conley. Finally, in the later seasons, twins Cali and Noelle Sheldon played toddler Emma and are now nearly 18! They also continued to act and appeared in the thriller Us in 2019.
Phoebe’s triplets
After Phoebe’s brother Frank Junior and his partner Alice asked her to carry their baby, they were not expecting triplets! The babies that played Leslie, Chandler, and Frank Jr Jr were uncredited, but by season six, the triplets appeared as toddlers when Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler tried their hand at babysitting. These triplets were played by quadruplets Alexis, Cole, Justin, and Paul Cimoch. In season ten, the triplets appeared again, with Dante Pastula playing Frank, Sierra Marcoux as Chandler, and Allisyn Ashley Arm (pictured) playing Leslie. Dante Pastula, now 22, went on to star in The Polar Express, and Allisyn, now 24, went on to star in the children’s TV show Sonny with a Chance and other Disney Channel shows.
Jack and Erica Bing
Remember that iconic moment when Monica and Chandler found out their surrogate Erica was having twins? It still, although the actors playing twins Jack and Erica Bing were not credited, they’d be around 16-years-old today. Doesn’t time fly! It still gets us emotional to this day.
Dakota Fanning
Hardcore Friends fans will know that Dakota Fanning appeared in season ten as Mackenzie, the little girl living in the house that Monica and Chandler would buy. She offers insightful advice to Joey (who at first panics she’s a ghost, naturally) and eventually comes round to the idea of her home sold. Dakota has since gone on to enjoy acting, appearing in films such as War of the Worlds alongside Tom Cruise. More recently, Dakota appeared in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt.
Emily Osment
She may have had a small role, but Emily Osment appeared as trick-or-treater Lelani Mayolanofavich in season seven, and her character has a scene with Rachel. Emily continued acting and appeared alongside Miley Cyrus as her BBF in Disney Channel’s hit show Hannah Montana.
Daryl Sabara
Small world! Before Daryl Sabara appeared on Friends as Owen (who awkwardly found out he has adopted thanks to Chandler), he was already a star on the big screen, appearing in Spy Kids. He’s also known nowadays as singer Meghan Trainor’s husband.
Mae Whitman
Mae Whitman appears in season three in The One Where Rachel Quits. She plays Sarah, a Brown Bird, who ends up getting her leg broken accidentally by Ross, who then sells cookies for her.
