But the most discussed lately is the appearance of Courtney. Many have noticed that the person Courtney has changed a lot. Most suspect that the case in numerous plastic surgery, and wonder how it was possible so to change and do this. And also suggest Cox has to change plastic surgeon.

Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing)


The actor played the comical and ironic character of Chandler Bing. In his series “Friends” always did not go well with the girls, until he realized that Monica Geller his fate. So harmonious and at the same time different pair impressed all the fans. But fans of “Friends” say that Monica Bing was much better, without losing its sarcasticness.

In real life the actor is not able to achieve such success, what would. Guilt began drugs, Perry admitted it himself. In one of the seasons of “Friends” fans were shocked by the appearance of the hero: he is stout, there were bags under his eyes, changed skin color. But this did not prevent him perfectly to play his role. However, after that, such a brilliant film career he has achieved.

But after that the acting career was not so successful. Changed the heroine Phoebe and externally. The face was older. It seemed that Lisa Kudrow has ceased to care for themselves. But unlike Courtney Cox, the woman did not use the services of a plastic surgeon. Perhaps she was right, but fans are sure that once the actress has changed, should think about quitting on yourself.

Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani)


Perhaps, in some degree, Matt repeated the fate of his character from the TV series “Friends”. Joe did not differ brilliant acting abilities, so it was often the base role. Only time he was lucky to play the doctor in the TV series “Days of our lives” than he is immensely proud. So in the life of Matthew LeBlanc — the most important role was in “Friends”.
