In Hollywood, even the stars can’t help but crush on each other, and Johnny Depp is no stranger to being the center of that swooning.

With his cool charm, wild roles, and serious acting chops, it’s no shock that he’s been a celebrity crush more than once.

From Edward Scissorhands to Jack Sparrow, Depp has a way of making both fans and fellow celebs go heart-eyed.

His unique mix of mystery, vulnerability, and undeniable talent makes him magnetic in every sense.

But did you know one of the FRIENDS cast members once admitted to having a massive crush on him?

Yep, one of your favorite sitcom stars was totally swooning over Depp’s insane talent, and let’s just say, it’s both unexpected and oddly adorable.

So, which Central Perk regular caught a Depp-fever? Let’s just say, this one’s totally worth the reveal.

The confession is as surprising as it is endearing, and we can’t wait for you to find out who

When it comes to Hollywood A-listers, both Lisa Kudrow and Johnny Depp have firmly etched their names in pop culture history, one with her hilariously quirky role as Phoebe Buffay on FRIENDS, and the other with his chameleon-like performances from Edward Scissorhands to Captain Jack Sparrow.

But what happens when one icon secretly swoons over another? Well, we got a rare, starry confession straight from Kudrow herself!

In an old-school interview with Cosmopolitan, Kudrow was asked that all-important question- which celeb makes her heart skip a beat? Her answer? None other than Johnny Depp.

She gushed, adding that she hadn’t even met him at the time,

He’s so talented. I can’t stand it.

The best part? This adorable crush revelation wasn’t even the only gem in the interview.

Kudrow also shared a delightfully cinematic memory of her first kiss, set on a boat during a Sweet 16 party, under the moonlight, kissed by the cutest guy in school.

Yep, straight out of a teen rom-com and very on-brand for someone who once sang “Smelly Cat” on a bongo.

So, while Kudrow and Depp never shared screen time, at least we know there was some major admiration sailing in that direction.

Other FRIENDS cast who had a crush on each other

The FRIENDS cast wasn’t just a group of talented actors, they were also a bunch of hopeless romantics. Behind the scenes, there were more crushes and sparks flying than at a candle factory.

Matthew Perry admitted to harboring feelings for all three of his female co-stars, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow, making it “kind of difficult to go to work.”.

He confessed to having a particular crush on Aniston, which he detailed in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.

But the real headline-grabber came during the HBO Max reunion special. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer revealed that they had a “major crush” on each other during the first season of the show.

However, they never acted on their feelings, as one of them was always in a relationship. Aniston recalled saying to Schwimmer,

It’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television.

So, while Ross and Rachel’s on-screen chemistry was undeniable, it turns out their off-screen chemistry was just as sizzling. And who knows?

Maybe if they’d given in to their feelings, we’d have had a real-life FRIENDS romance to gossip about.
