Emma Watson suggests the U.K. might be more obsessed with “Friends” than we are
Now this is a binge-watch obsession we can get behind. Emma Watson binge-watches Friends because it is SO in throughout the U.K.
While we might not live in England or anywhere in Europe for that matter, we do understand loving Friends. Seriously, what’s not to love about six best friends, drinking coffee, and making us laugh?
In a new interview with Coveteur, Watson revealed her go-to binge watch, and of course she picked the NBC classic comedy. Her reason is that it’s still super popular across the pond.
Even though we know that Friends is a fan-favorite in the States, it is more of a nostalgia choice when we all tune in. The U.K. however, is keeping it alive on numerous channels every day.
“This is going to make me seem very uncool, but Friends! It blows my American friends’ minds, but in the U.K., Friends still plays,” Watson told Coveteur about her top choice for binge-watching.
“There’s one channel that it’s on basically all the time, and I will watch Friends reruns forever,” she continued. “My friends are like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ It’s one of those comforting things to have in the background that just kind of makes you feel like everything’s going to be okay.”
Leave it to Watson to perfectly sum up why we all love Friends so much. It does make everything seem like it’s going to be okay!
The Beauty and the Beast actress also revealed who she’d invite to a dinner party, and we love her answers.
“Obviously Shakespeare, obviously Maya Angelou. Oh, I’d love to meet Joni Mitchell,” she told the publication.
"I'd like to meet Audre Lorde. I would love to go and hang out with the French Impressionists, because they were all buds," the 26-year-old actress continued. "I'd love to go and, like, spend an evening with them, have a casual drink. That'd be pretty fun. Oh, Virginia Woolf. That's a few!"
After this interview, we officially want to have a dinner party with Watson and watch Friends for dessert.
