David Schwimmer has a love-hate relationship with the Friends theme song.

The actor, aka Ross Geller (whose love life really was DOA), appeared on the Monday (March 31) episode of Matt Lucas and David Walliams's "Making a Scene" podcast on iHeartRadio, and shared his honest opinion of "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts.

"I’ll be really honest, there was a time for quite a while, just hearing the theme song would really …" the star let out a big sigh before remarking, "You know what I mean? I would just have that reaction. I just had heard it so many times. Anytime you’d go on a show, a talk show, that would be your intro song. I just didn’t have the greatest response to it for a period of time."

Schwimmer also revealed that he has yet to rewatch the series, which aired from 1994 to 2004, but that his 13-year-old daughter, Cleo, whom he shares with ex-wife Zoë Buckman, has, per USWeekly.

"I’d be making breakfast or whatever, and I’d hear my kid’s laughter. My whole relationship to that song and to the show changed again."

The standout starred alongside real-life friends and costars Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), and Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), who passed away in October 2023.
