This Is Who Phoebe From Friends Was Actually Meant To Marry

Hank Azaria who played David on Friends has revealed that it was actually his character who was meant to end up with Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and not Mike (Paul Rudd)!

Incase you forgot, Phoebe and David were the perfect couple, until the scientist decided to move to Minsk for his career.

A heartbroken Phoebe later ended up with Mike, who we fell in love with anyway. 

Well it turns out Azaria's character was the one who was meant to end up with Phoebe, but Rudd was just too damn likable for the writers to write off the show.

Speaking to The Huffington Post, said “No, I didn’t know that was the end of David. The plan always was kind of to bring him back.

“I think, honestly, what happened was Paul Rudd is so awesome that they sort of found a groove with him and [my character] became more of just the grist for that mill... As opposed to the other way around.

“It actually did sting a little bit... Whatever part of me is David the science guy who went to Minsk, which admittedly is probably a small part of me [laughs], but that part of me wanted to end up with Phoebe. So I was sort of sad when I didn’t.”
