Brooke Shields, known for her guest appearance on the classic sitcom Friends, recently shared an amusing anecdote about her time on the show. Shields revealed that her scene with Matt LeBlanc as Joey led to her then-boyfriend, tennis legend Andre Agassi, storming out of the recording.<\/p>\n
In the episode titled \u201cThe One After The Super Bowl\u201d from Season 2, Shields portrayed Erika, a character infatuated with Joey, whom she believes to be a genius. The scene in question involved Erika licking Joey\u2019s fingers, expressing her admiration for the supposed genius. Shields explained that her boyfriend, Agassi, had a somewhat \u201cpetulant\u201d reaction to witnessing this on-set romantic interaction.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The New Yorker, Shields recounted the incident, stating, \u201cIt was petulant behavior\u2026 In the scene, I\u2019m supposed to lick Joey\u2019s fingers, because they\u2019re the hands of a genius, and I want to devour them, and I\u2019m a nut. He was cute \u2014 he was, like, \u2018I\u2019ve washed my hands, and they\u2019re all clean\u2019. I was like, \u2018I had a mint\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on to describe how Agassi, present in the audience to support her, walked out, feeling embarrassed by the on-screen interaction. Shields recalled, \u201cAndre was in the audience supporting me, and he stormed out. He said, \u2018Everybody\u2019s making fun of me. You made a fool of me by that behavior\u2019. I\u2019m like, \u2018It\u2019s comedy! What is the matter with you?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite Agassi\u2019s initial reaction, Shields\u2019 and LeBlanc\u2019s performances in the memorable episode contributed to the lasting appeal of Friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
