Fans of the hit show Friends have reacted to a magazine that was produced in 2004 which attempted to predict what the cast would look like in 2024.
Friends is arguably the greatest sitcom of all time, and even if that can't be agreed, it's definitely one of the most well-known.
In case you're unaware of what it is - the show follows a group of friends living in New York as they go through their lives in a pretty wild and hilarious manner.
The cast - Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc - were propelled to stardom overnight.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that people tried to predict what they would look like 20 years down the line... even if they didn't get it spot on.
The spread from the 2004 Star magazine predicted that the actors would have embraced grayer locks and a somewhat "puffier" appearance.
Star claimed that Schwimmer "may go gray by age 57, but he won't lose any of his boyish charm".
When it comes to Aniston's character, Rachel, the mag predicted: "She'll be puffier, but Jennifer will always have great hair," which couldn't be further from modern-day Aniston, now 54.
Regarding LeBlanc's Joey, the magazine stated: "Matt will remain every bit the ladies' man at age 56," assuring fans of his enduring charisma.
As for Cox's Monica, the prediction was equally optimistic, stating: "Courteney will still be stylish in her late 50s."
However, the magazine didn't hold back when it came to Perry's Chandler. Star offered a tongue-in-cheek take, stating: "Behold the Matthew of 2024 - could he be any more jowly?" accompanied by an illustration of a receding hairline and grey hair.
Among the cast, Lisa Kudrow received the most favorable prediction, as the magazine declared: "Twenty years won't matter to Lisa, who'll still be flashing that cute smile."
Even though most of the predictions attempted to be complimentary, it's hard to see how any of the actors would be pleased with the images.
We're not quite in 2024 yet, but given that it's only a few months away it's fair to say that Star missed the mark - unless the actors have a really stressful end to 2023.
People couldn't hold in their shock, as one person tweeted: "Little did they know the advances that would be made in cosmetic surgery in the next 20 years," while a second questioned: "They all got attacked by bees?"
A third said: "They're all so flabby and stretched out and gray," while a fourth concluded: "Why in the heck would they make them look so old!"
Maybe the magazine should predict what the cast will look like in the next 20 years.
