David Schwimmer has been slammed by fans for an ‘ungrateful’ comment about his time on iconic sitcom, Friends.

The actor, 58, who sH๏τ to fame as Ross Gellar in the show which ran from 1994-2004, made a whopping $1million an episode in the 10th season and is now worth an estimated $120million.

However, the star has sparked backlash with his latest admission that he can’t stand the show’s iconic theme song, I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. 

In January the actor also said he didn’t like the fame that came with starring on the hit show that also featured Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow. 

During an appearance on Matt Lucas and David Walliams’ Making a Scene podcast this week, he said listening to the tune for 10 seasons broke him.

‘I’ll be really honest, there was a time for quite a while that just hearing the theme song would really,’ he said, then sighed. ‘You know what I mean?’ he asked. ‘I just had that reaction. I mean, I just had heard it so many times.’

And he never looked back. ‘I never watched the show after we finished it,’ he told the podcast hosts. ‘For me, it’s like, I did it, I’m moving on. I don’t really go back and revisit.”

However, it wasn’t until his daughter ‘discovered it around age 9 or something and started watching it’ that his outlook changed.

The Goosebumps actor is dad to Cleo, 13, whom he shares with ex-wife Zoë Buckman.

Fans were quick to lambast the comment and branded the star a ‘f***** crybaby’ for complaining about the career maker show.

One said: ‘He didn’t complain when he was getting a million dollar per episode.’

Others wrote: ‘Aww.. i’d cry except it made his whole career and life financially…

‘Why..he should check his Bank Account everytime he hears it and be grateful

‘F*****g crybaby.

‘I mean, if I was getting literally thousands in residuals a day, I’d have a very different reaction to that theme.

‘His pile of money can comfort him?’

Last year Schwimmer recalled a ‘genuinely frightening’ incident on the set of Friends.

The comic called for cameras to cut after seeing his co-star LeBlanc go ‘totally white’ and look close to fainting after dislocating his shoulder.

It happened when a fall went badly wrong during the taping of season three episode The One with the Jam.

He told Entertainment Weekly: ‘During the live taping of the show, [Matt LeBlanc] is supposed to do a kind of a pratfall, and he actually dislocated his shoulder.

‘He went totally white, and he stood up, and I could see his shoulder was out. He looked like he was going to pᴀss out.’

Fans were quick to slam the star who has amᴀssed a huge fortune due to the show

‘[I remember] immediately turning to the camera like, “Cut, cut, cut.” That was genuinely frightening,’ he said.

And it was serious. 

‘You could see how badly hurt he was. And we had to stop filming that night, obviously, and he went to hospital. That was scary.’

Meanwhile, David is thrilled to have been cast in the second season of Goosebumps.

Recalling receiving a call expressing interest in casting him in the show, he said: ‘[I felt] genuine excitement… I was like, “Wait, what?”

‘Because I’ve never been able to act in horror-action-comedy, and I’m such a fan. I’m a genuine fan of horror.’

The series will see David play botanist Anthony Brewer, who needs to use his science skills to stop a shocking disappearance from his childhood reoccurring for a new generation.

The cast was often asked to do physical comedy; seen here are Aniston, Kudrow and Cox

He said: ‘Let me start by saying, even within the horror genre, there are so many types of horror. For me, what I love to do is to really kind of figure out, ‘Okay, what is the tone here? What is the tone of this project?’ 

Here, it’s horror within a certain audience. It’s geared toward a certain audience. There’s also comedy, there’s also action, and there’s also drama.

‘One of the things I’m kind of in awe of is the tone. They managed to get these good scares.

‘But they do it in a way where it’s never gratuitous violence, there’s no Sєxual violence. It’s not too gory… they manage to make you feel safe while you’re getting scared.’

This comes after Aniston said she is in love with her body.

The 55-year-old actress explained that she has learned to embrace her body because it is ‘doing the best it can’.

She told Allure: ‘We’ve got to love our bodies. It’s doing the best it can. It’s been with us since the day we started, so we can’t be too hard on it.

‘Of course, we’re all going to grow older, but how can we thrive as we grow older? And that is about giving your body the attention that it deserves.’

The Friends star also admitted that her 20s were ‘a nightmare’ but she enjoyed her 30s as she began to feel rewarded by working out.

Jennifer added: ‘For me personally, I loved my 30s, but my 20s were nothing. I was a nightmare.’

And she admitted that she suffers from a disorder that can cripple her life.

‘I didn’t understand working out until my 30s and 40s.’

As far as her disorder, it is bad insomnia. 

The ex of Brad Pitt revealed she has a ‘real hard relationship’ with sleep and has had to shut herself away from receiving news at night.

Jennifer said: ‘I really want to love it, and I am sure it wants to love me, but we have had a hard time, especially the last 10, 15 years.

‘It’s just hard to shut the brain down, hard to tell the committee to stop talking. I’ve had to shut the news off.

‘I’ve had to give myself boundaries with information. You know what I mean?’

Aniston has been challenging herself to go to bed at 10pm on weeknights to improve her mental health by working on her sleep hygiene.

She revealed: ‘I’ve been trying hard to put myself in bed during the week at 10pm, turn everything off and then just sit there and let the world come crashing in.

‘I’ve been trying to meet that challenge for myself. Some days you’re great and on point, and some days you’re just not.
