FRIENDS was one of the most popular series on television when it first aired nearly 16 years ago, and it is still remembered today. The reunion of the complete group, which included Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry, was equally as thrilling as watching the show's 10 seasons.

However, during the show's 10 seasons, the audience saw child performers perform extraordinarily well for their age. Do you have any idea where they are now? Let's have a look:

Ben Geller

Ross Geller and ex-wife Carol’s son Ben Geller was one of the first child actors that the audience witnessed and Ben was played by actor Cole Sprouse. The first actor who played Ben when he was born, was Michael Gunderson before twin Charles Thomas Allen and John Christopher Allen took over the role. Ben’s character was initially a lot more focused but grew to fade away as the story got complex and focused on other characters’ storylines. Ben popped up a few times on the show like season seven’s The One with the Holiday Armadillo', episode.

Cole Sprouse went on to have a successful acting career as he went on to star in ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody’ alongside his twin brother Dylan Sprouse. Cole currently plays Jughead Jones on Riverdale streams on Netflix and is also a great photographer.

Phoebe’s Triplets (Leslie, Chandler, and Frank Jr. Jr.)

When Phoebe decided to be a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife, it almost shocked the audience but was also a remarkable step for society knew very little about surrogate mothers at that time. The announcement of having triplets was just so overwhelming for the audience to witness especially because Phoebe was the only one who couldn’t attend Ross and Emily’s wedding in London.
