British producer and director Ben Winston shed some light on a few of the most surprising absences from the long-awaited Friends reunion, which aired on Thursday. The star's absences, however, were simply due to the 'incredibly difficult' timing of the reunion, which was 'the one night' all six of the sitcom's stars could attend. 'So you can't have too many cameos because of course, there were hundreds of amazing people who were in Friends over the years. He also noted that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic made travel very difficult for 'some people' who were invited, but were shooting projects around the world. At the time, Rudd was filming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania overseas, while Sprouse was busy shooting Riverdale in Vancouver.
