So, you're curious about when Jennifer Aniston started her iconic role as Rachel Green in Friends, huh? Well, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's dive into this little time-travel adventure together.
Let's set the scene
Picture this: it's September 22, 1994. The world is still mourning the loss of Kurt Cobain, the Spice Girls are just a twinkle in Simon Fuller's eye, and Friends is about to make its debut on NBC. Now, you might be wondering, "How old was the lovely Jen when she stepped into that Central Perk for the first time?"
Drumroll, please
Alright, so here's the deal. Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969. That makes her a 25-year-old when the first episode of Friends aired. Can you even? I mean, she was basically a baby, right? Well, not quite, but you get the picture.

But wait, there's more
You might be thinking, "Okay, so Jen was 25 when Friends started, but what about the rest of the gang?" Well, let's break it down:
