A hilarious magazine spread from 2004 that shows what the cast of Friends would look like in 20 years has resurfaced as fans have branded it ‘horrendous’

Friends premiered in 1994 and ran for ten years, with its last episode airing in May 2004


Jennifer (picture right in 2023) was said to be ‘puffier’ but still have great hair


The photoshopped image of David (shown left and shown right in 2022) showed him in an extremely thin frame with barely any hair

The double-page spread says: ‘Friends: 20 years later! What they will look like. The year is 2024: Do you know who your Friends are? Star uses computer magic to foresee their futures.’

Alongside photos of the TV show stars were photoshopped snaps of how they would look in 2024. 

And while the actors still have some time before it’s 2024, it doesn’t look like Star’s prediction will come true. 

The photoshopped image of David showed him in an extremely thin frame with barely any hair. 

And, the hair that the 2024 version of the actor sported was grey. 

Next to the photo was a sentence about their futuristic selves. 

It read: ‘Ross: David may go gray by age 57, but he won’t lose any of his boyish charm.’ 

Next up, Jennifer was shown with dark grey hair. 


According to the spread, Matthew is set to don a receding hair line and grey hair in 2024


2024 Courteney also sported the same ‘puffier’ look but her hair and style remained the same


Meanwhile, Matt (shown right in 2022) sported grey hair and his face had grown to about three times its original size


Luckily, Lisa (shown right in 2023) didn’t face the exact same fate as her co-stars as she only sported grey hair and kept her same face structure

The sentence read: ‘Rachel: She’ll be puffier, but Jennifer will always have great hair.’

Meanwhile, Matt sported grey hair and his face had grown to about three times its original size. 

‘Joey: Matt will remain every bit the ladies’ man at age 56,’ it read.

2024 Courteney also sported the same ‘puffier’ look but her hair and style remained the same. 

‘Monica: Courteney will still be stylish in her late 50s,’ according to Star magazine. 

According to the spread, Matthew is set to don a receding hair line and grey hair in 2024.    

‘Matthew: Behold the Matthew of 2024—could he be any more jowly?’ said Star magazine. 

Lastly, it was Lisa’s turn to face the ‘computer magic.’ 

Luckily, the Friends actress didn’t face the exact same fate as her co-stars as she only sported grey hair and kept her same face structure. 

The magazine wrote: ‘Twenty years won’t matter to Lisa, who’ll still be flashing that cute smile.’ 

The Friends stars recently reunited for the reunion in 2021 and snapped an adorable selfie showing their ageless beauty

Fans of the show couldn’t contain their laughter and flooded the comments section

The prediction couldn’t be more far off, especially for Jennifer who may just be in the best shape of her life as she just revealed her top tips for staying a size two at 54.  

Fans of the show couldn’t contain their laughter and flooded the comments section. 

One person wrote: ‘Why did Star think Friends’ cast faces would become deformed?’ 

Another user added: ‘Was Friends in 2024 created via The Sims?’ 

‘Star just wanted to fatten everyone up what the heck,’ added someone else. 

‘Omg the Friends one though. These people are in their 50s, not their 70s!’ said someone else. 

Another user commented: ‘Wow they really did Jennifer dirty. She’s way prettier than that.’ 

Someone else said: ‘Friends pictures are hilarious!’ 

One user added: ‘Why did they make their heads so big and faces so small? It’s creepy.’
