Jane Sibbett Reveals Friends Costar Matthew Perry’s THIS Hilarious Reaction To Her Breastfeeding Scene On Show

As a dedicated fan of the iconic sitcom “Friends,” I found myself reminiscing about the hilarious antics of the cast, especially Jane Sibbett‘s memorable improvisation during the breastfeeding scene. Her decision to go beyond the script and actually nurse the baby not only added authenticity but also caught Matthew Perry off guard, a moment that still brings laughter to my heart.


Jane Sibbett, famously known for playing Carol Willick on Friends, shared an intriguing backstage tale about her co-star Matthew Perry in a recent chat with The Sun. In this interview, she reminisced about a scene from Friends’ second season where her character nurses baby Ben, a child she shares with Ross Geller (David Schwimmer).

In the episode called “The One with the Nursing Moment,” Chandler Bing (Perry’s character) and Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc) were required to react uncomfortably upon witnessing Carol nursing. However, Sibbett added an unanticipated touch of improvisation to the scene, causing Perry to turn red with embarrassment.

Rather than orchestrating a carefully arranged scenario, Sibbett opted for a more authentic approach. Recounting the event, she shared, “I attempted to care for the babies, with their mother’s consent, which is why Matt Perry’s amusing response ensued.

The actress shared that Perry anticipated she would just mimic the scene, but instead, her choice to deliver it authentically took him aback with surprise.

She exclaimed, “‘Wow, Sibbett accidentally revealed her breast!’,” she stated. Perry’s genuine shock, which turned out to be a key element in the play, was attributed by Sibbett to enhancing the humor. “I thought I was only going to pretend to breastfeed,” she explained, “but I ended up doing it for real instead.” Unknowingly, the baby contributed to the humor with its unexpected reaction, making the scene even more amusing.

Sibbett playfully pointed out Perry’s visible unease, suggesting that if you examine that particular take carefully, it appears as though he might be blushing.

The situation turned into one of Sibbett’s most cherished moments, as she found herself unable to contain her laughter at Perry’s retort. She jokingly remarked that he must have seen breasts before, but had never witnessed her suddenly revealing hers. This shared humor resonated beyond the camera, leaving a delightful impression on the entire cast.

The interview takes place as we celebrate Friends reaching its 30th year, with cast and writers reflecting on the show’s influence and paying tribute to Matthew Perry, who sadly passed away in 2023. Known for his sharp humor and impeccable comedic skills, Perry left an indelible mark not only on his fellow actors but also on fans everywhere.

In a reflective conversation, Marta Kauffman, David Crane, and executive producer Kevin Bright reminisced about the lasting impact of the late Perry, who tragically passed away at 54 due to an unintentional drug overdose. Throughout his life, Perry had battled addiction.
