《老友记》幕后的10件轶事 (2):考克斯拒绝出演瑞秋

9 Courtney Cox turned down the opportunity to be Rachel

9. 柯特妮·考克斯拒绝出演瑞秋

It’s hard to imagine the role of Rachel being played by anyone other than Jennifer Aniston. However, the role was originally supposed to go to Courtney Cox. Cox turned down the role because she said she preferred to play Monica, because she felt that character was “stronger”. Thank goodness she and the creators went that route, because Cox as Monica was absolute perfection! Heck, could you honestly picture any of the cast members playing another character?

很难想象瑞秋这个角色不是由珍妮佛·安妮斯顿而是由别人出演。然而，该角色原定的扮演者其实是柯特妮·考克斯。考克斯拒绝出演这个角色，她说她更乐意出演莫妮卡，因为她觉得莫妮卡的性格“更强悍”。谢天谢地，她和创作人最后都认同了她的选择，因为考克斯绝对是扮演莫妮卡的最佳人选！而且，你能想象得到《老友记》中任意一位演员出演不是他或她的角色会是什么样子吗？！

Jennifer Aniston was also the last person to be cast. At the time, she was still a relatively unknown actress, but that changed rapidly with the success of Friends. Today, Aniston is considered an A-list celebrity and movie star, who has even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

珍妮佛·安妮斯顿是最后一位进组的人。当时她还是一位默默无闻的小演员，但《老友记》的播出很快就让她一炮而红。如今安妮斯顿已经是一位公认的社会名流、最好的电影明星，她甚至在好莱坞星光大道上拥有了自己的一颗星。
