Justin Bieber to star in Friends reunion special and wear Ross’ famous ‘Spudnik’ costume
AS if the Friends TV reunion wasn’t exciting enough, we can reveal producers have roped in the world’s biggest pop star for a cameo.
Justin Bieber filmed scenes wearing Ross Geller’s famous “Spudnik” potato costume from eighth-season episode The One With The Halloween Party, opposite original cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.
The cameo is a huge coup for bosses at HBO Max, who had to delay filming three times due to the pandemic.
Landing such a big star for the gang’s long-awaited comeback is sure to crank up the anticipation even further.
Biebs has long been a fan of the New York sitcom, though he was just ten years old when it finished filming in 2004.
He pranked tourists by going undercover on the Friends set for an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the US early last year.

A telly source said: “Justin was honoured to be involved and didn’t mind sending himself up wearing a ridiculous costume.
“It was all run like a military operation to keep details under wraps, and Justin nailed it.”
We can also reveal the reunion sees Matt recreating the scene where Joey dons all of Chandler’s clothes and does lunges. We can’t wait.
