How old is chandler from friends

Matthew Perry was actually the youngest cast member of the group at only 25 years old. Popular ex-cheerleader Rachel Green was years old when she came bursting into the pilot episode in her wedding dress.

However, her 30th birthday party is celebrated in February, which later makes sense when she tells a police man that she is an Aquarius Jan. Lisa Kudrow was the oldest cast member to star in Friends. Her twin sister Ursula shows her a birth certificate which confirms she is the oldest of the Friends.

This makes little sense considering her older brother Ross was supposed to be 26 at the start of the series. The final episode of the much-loved sitcom aired all the way back in , but the cast have been teasing a special episode for more than a year. Ahead of its release in the US next week, the clip shows the stars walking around the original set at Warner Bros Studios, taking part in a trivia game and reading out iconic scenes.

Chandler Bing actor Matthew Perry is the youngest member of the cast, and is years-old. After learning that Ross and Rachel think that Chandler wouldn't be able to discipline his children in " The One With Rachel's Other Sister ", he shows off his potential to discipline when Rachel and her sister Amy get into a physical fight.

In The One With Christmas in Tulsa, he finally realizes his lack of interest in his job and the strain this is putting on in his marriage and consequentially quits his job to find something he's more interested in. Despite having low self esteem, he's against borrowing money from others.

He decides to take up a job in advertising and becomes the junior copywriter from an unpaid intern in a matter of months due to his maturity, talent and potential in advertising. He's extremely devastated upon realizing that he and Monica cannot conceive and along with her, decides to take up adoption.

In Barbados, he tells David the reason behind Phoebe and Mike's break-up, indirectly giving him the plan to propose marriage. Monica later takes care of this by calling Mike and telling him to prove his love which he does. He shows great ping pong skills which he tries to hide from Monica due to her extreme competitiveness. Chandler and Monica make their peace with adoption.

However, he is more disturbed by the cornrows hairstyle Monica decided to adopt. He mistakenly tells a child he's adopted when Monica and Chandler go to visit a couple to gain more knowledge on adoption, he later on even tells Frank. Jr's children that Phoebe actually carried them and gave birth to them on the same day, blaming this on people for not informing him of both these situations beforehand. Chandler gets Joey to write a letter to the adoption agency but is very sceptical about his good writing skills but is very amused when the adoption agency thought that Joey was a child and it was a very cute and sweet thing to do.

When Erica is under the impression that Chandler and Monica are a doctor and a reverend respectively, he thinks it's best to come clean about the fact that the adoption agency probably had a mix-up.

Monica fears that Erica would not be willing to give her baby to them if she realized that they weren't a doctor and a reverend but after they come clean, Erica is more upset by the fact that they lied to her. It's interesting to note that this time, Chandler is the one who is keen on showing integrity and truthfulness since in earlier seasons, he tended to craft lies to get out of the simplest situations- this shows significant development.

Chandler ends up winning Erica's trust by giving a heartwarming speech. Chandler comes clean about having broken a pact he held with Ross in college regarding the girls they could go out with but explains this to be because of the time when Ross kissed a girl on the pact and who Chandler had a major crush on during a college party.

To spite him, Chandler also kissed Rachel on the same time not knowing that Ross and Rachel would kiss too later it turns out that Ross actually kissed Monica which really disgusts him " The One Where The Stripper Cries ". Chandler decides to get a new house in the suburbs with Monica to bring up the child which the rest of the friends, especially Joey, are not happy about.

He was also upset when Rachel was going to go to Paris but decided to make his peace with it. Erica finally gives birth but as it turns out, she actually gave birth to twins; Chandler and Monica were only expecting one child. He initially freaks out and doubts their capability but after realizing its a boy and a girl, he is overjoyed and along with Monica names the girl Erica after her biological mother and the boy Jack after Monica and Ross' father.

Chandler utters the very last line in the whole show as the group decides to have the last cup of coffee together by sarcastically saying "sure, where? Though Chandler never lets up by using sarcasm as a defense, he has a tendency to come off as needy and makes bad first impressions as said by Phoebe with his constant joke-making and brash demeanor.

Despite this emotional immaturity, Chandler is the most financially secure of his friends. Chandler is brash, zany and estranged from both of his parents. He suffers from commitment issues, brought on by growing up in a broken home with no idea of what a stable marriage looks like, can be neurotic and extremely defensive with humor as his shield but his sense of humor is generally unsophisticated, to the point during an interview when his boss told him he'd have "extra duties on his hand" he had to stop himself from laughing.

Chandler also associates everything that links to his parents' divorce in a negative light, specifically Thanksgiving where his parents reveal their separation over turkey where his father plans to run away with the pool boy. This also associates with his mistrust of people in adult relationships. Becoming extremely paranoid when his girlfriend, Kathy who was an actress shared a sex scene with her co-star prompting a big fight between the two.

Ironically it was Chandler's own paranoia that drove Kathy to have an affair with the same person. His commitment issues are not only a running gag in the series but as well with his friends who use it as an excuse to mock him. This could either be a joke, a ribbing on his commitment-phobia or him being the least desirable of the group.

However, he was the first friend to happily settle down as a married man. Even when he was a happily married man, Chandler still retained some of his paranoia when it was revealed that their surrogate mother was having twins, he instantly panicked and suggested keeping only one. However, when he discovered they were a male and a female, he was overjoyed. Chandler is relatively comfortable with complimenting looks of the same gender like Phoebe. However, he is quite humiliated by his effeminate nature and is a profound heterosexual whereas Phoebe has been hinted to be bisexual.

It's revealed Joey is who he would go out with. Also, when Phoebe saw her "perfect guy" at Central Perk after reading tea leaves, Chandler remarks "Oh my God, that guy was looking at you and he is so cute" in a high-pitched voice. He also began acting extremely effeminately when he was listening to a cassette tape for women to stop him from smoking. Because of this, Chandler is normally dominated by his ballsy and forward spouse, Monica and rarely ever "wins" in a fight with her, however, Chandler does have bursts of confidence.

When Monica wanted to use his nest egg to pay for their big wedding he firmly put his foot down, which greatly impressed Phoebe who normally points Chandler out for his effeminate nature, claiming "Money, and a firm hand. Finally a Chandler I can get on board with. Chandler also shares a lot of traits with Mr. Heckles , Monica and Rachel's neighbor. They are both extremely picky with women planning to break up with one simply because her head was too big , were voted class clown in high school, played the clarinet and Chandler even did his signature pound the ceiling with a broom when Monica and Rachel were making too much noise.

Probably because of his entire childhood of being humiliated, Chandler would much prefer to follow through on an insane lie rather than admit to the truth and create an embarrassing situation or an actual confrontation. Lacking the nerve to break up with Janice after he rekindled their romance he tells her he is moving to Yemen and actually does when she only agreed to leave the airport after she saw his plane depart, causing him financial loss.

This was further shown when he destroyed his own office when an enraged colleague who had been calling Chandler 'Toby' got word that "Chandler Bing" stopped him from moving upward and he didn't want to admit that he mistook his name for Toby and never corrected him on it.

Chandler started out as the one who had the most problems with commitment. He began his relationship with Monica as early as Season 5 since Season 4 's finale was actually a fling for both characters ; moved on to the proposal in Season 6 ; married her in Season 7 ; and adopted twins Jack and Erica Bing in the last episode of Season This ends up being quite ironic as he and Monica are the first to have a committed marriage that doesn't end in divorce, and none of the others have a long-term marriage again until Season 10 when Phoebe marries Mike Hannigan.

Going by his behavior in the seasons prior to him becoming involved with Monica, it is possible that Chandler has been interested in her for years. At the end of Season 1 " The One With The Birth " he suggest they get together and have a child if they're both still single at forty, in " The One With The Flashback " he said Monica was one of his favorite people and the most beautiful woman he'd ever known in real life, and during the friends' beach vacation in season 3 , he tries to convince Monica that he will make a good boyfriend.

She, however, laughs at the idea and for the first four seasons and before the show started they are portrayed merely as close friends.

They've seen to depend on each other a great deal as Monica helped him lose weight Season 2 , reassured him that he wouldn't die alone " The One Where Heckles Dies " , comforted him about his crush on Kathy and gave him sex advice in Season 4. Chandler also apparently told her about his third nipple, and he was the only one who knew that it was her underwear on the telegraph pole outside the apartment.

Chandler also comforts Monica when she's upset, like when she discovered that Phoebe moved out or when she was upset about not having a child or a boyfriend in Season 3. Things change for Chandler and Monica in London when they sleep together season 4. Monica becomes depressed when her mother says that she'll never get married, and she is pushed over the edge when a drunken man mistakes her for Ross' mother. When Chandler tries to cheer her up by telling her he thinks she was the most beautiful woman in the room at the rehearsal dinner - that she is, in fact, the most beautiful woman in most rooms, Monica throws herself at him and they end up spending the night together.

The next day, initially things are quite awkward between them. When they meet up at the wedding they agree that sleeping together was a stupid thing to do, but that's not enough to keep them from agreeing to meet up again that night. They say that they will stop once they leave London, but that fails and they begin a relationship.

Chandler refers to the night as the most romantic night of his life. It seems likely that Chandler already had strong romantic feelings for Monica by the time their first night together was over, and his mild interest in her, mentioned above, became a serious romantic connection due to the confirmation of Monica's feelings.

They try to keep their relationship secret from their other friends, who eventually found out " The One Where Everybody Finds Out ". The first to find out is Joey when he discovers through identical aspects of Monica and Chandler's 'work trips' in " The One With The Kips " that they were actually away together. Then Rachel overhears a telephone conversation between the two containing sexual innuendos. Monica denies this when she is confronted by Rachel, insisting that she was referring to Chandler as "Mr.

Bigot" and not, "Mr. Phoebe finds out about Monica and Chandler when she witnesses them having sex without closing the curtains as she stands in Ross' apartment across the street, and Ross is the last to find out, in the same way as Phoebe. After everyone finds out about their relationship Chandler's commitment issues resurface and he worries Monica expects him to get married and have children soon. This leads to a fight between them which he tries to fix by proposing. Monica points out how stupid he's being and says she doesn't want marriage and babies now and will help him through his relationship issues.

While celebrating their anniversary in Vegas, Chandler and Monica get into a fight over her seeing her ex-boyfriend Richard and Chandler admits that he knows Richard is still the love of Monica's life, indicating he still feels insecure about their relationship. However, Monica reassures him Richard is no longer the love of her life and they make up, later stating that they've never loved anyone else as much as they love each other.

In Vegas, Chandler and Monica feel that "the signs" are telling them to get married. Not ready to make such a commitment, they decide to live together instead.

At the end of Season 6 , Chandler plans to ask Monica to marry him but a series of misunderstandings lead Monica to think he never wants to get married and Richard to also propose to her. Chandler Madly confronts Richard saying that he blew his chance and Chandler wasn't going to blow his because he and Monica were meant for each other.

Richard accepts defeat and Chandler returns home to find Monica has planned her own proposal. They ask to marry each other and get engaged. They eventually get married, and their wedding is officiated by Joey season 7. Unable to conceive naturally, they decide to adopt a child.

Expecting only one child, they watch in surprise as their adopted twins - Jack and Erica Bing are born. Monica often gets on Chandler's nerves because of her bossy, overly competitive, and neat-freak nature. However, he also states that he loves how passionate she is and feels good about calming her down when she's gets stressed.

However, the two still become a couple after sleeping together when Monica's current boyfriend gets called out to work during dinner. Twins Jack and Erica appear in the series finale when biological mother Erica gives birth to two babies instead of the expected one.

The birth of the twins is unexpected because when the doctor read the sonogram, he said, "Both heartbeats sound healthy", but Erica thought that the doctor meant her heart and the baby's. Jack is named after his adoptive grandfather, Jack Geller; and Erica is named after her biological mother.

They are shown in apartment 20, with the rest of the group before leaving with Chandler and Monica to go live in their new home in Westchester. Ross and Chandler have been best friends since college when they were roommates. They made pacts involving the girls they weren't allowed to sleep with although Ross learns that Chandler broke this pact, and they were in a band together.

Chandler also went to Ross' house for Thanksgiving. Ross and Chandler frequently go out to play racquetball and basketball. When bullies steal Chandler's hat, they confront them together. When the gang decides to play football on Thanksgiving, Ross picks Chandler as his first player - despite Rachel being his girlfriend at the time " The One With The Football ".

Ross sometimes describes Chandler as his best friend and vice versa. Chandler is the first person to know about Ross' secret love for Rachel. Not wanting either of them to get hurt, he convinces Ross to avoid telling her about his one-night stand with Chloe. When Rachel finds out anyway, Chandler looks very upset when he, Joey, Phoebe and Monica overhear from Monica's room the emotional argument that occurs between Ross and Rachel.

Ross becomes Chandler's brother-in-law when he marries Monica at the end of Season 7. When Rachel and Ross remarry shortly after the series finale, she becomes his sister-in-law.

For a time, Chandler shares an apartment with his other best friend Joey. Chandler and Joey's apartment becomes an important focal point for the series as one of the few meeting areas of the gang. The two have formed a close and enduring friendship, and they get into many humorous situations. Their adventures include:. A famous running gag suggests them as an old married couple when they argue, with Chandler usually assuming the feminine role and Joey assuming the masculine role.

In an episode where Joey's new roommate Janine is present, Joey takes the more woman-like role of their argument with comments such as, "Why would you say that? It's just mean! It was the way you said it," due to the fact that Janine's feminine qualities are rubbing off on Joey. The two start off on the wrong foot when Chandler is looking for a roommate and Joey comes to fill the slot, incorrectly assuming that Chandler is gay.

Chandler chooses a fashion photographer with a porn star sister to be his roommate. But after Mr. Heckles tells the photographer that he is Chandler's new roommate, the photographer leaves and never moves in.

This forces Chandler to give the keys to Joey, and they find out they have a lot in common: their fondness for sports and beer.

Joey also introduces him to watching the women of Baywatch , especially Yasmine Bleeth. Chandler often supports Joey throughout the show, paying for expenses such as rent and bills; all of Joey's headshots; several acting classes; and most of the food. In an alternate reality of, " The One That Could Have Been ", these roles are reversed as Chandler struggles with finances while Joey rakes in the money. At one point, Joey helps out Chandler by allowing Chandler to be his assistant.

The two "break up" temporarily after Joey finds success as Dr. When Dr. Ramoray is killed off and Chandler becomes freaked out by his new schizophrenic roommate Eddie , the two move back in together.

When Chandler moves in with Monica, he and Joey remain close as neighbors. In the final episode, Monica destroys the Foosball table in order to save Chick Jr. Despite no longer living in the same apartment block, Chandler and Monica make it known that their new home will have a specially designated "Joey room" above the garage. Chandler often refers to Joey as a family member. Although he thinks the relationship is brotherly, he does make references to Joey as a kid, stating to Ross in " The One With Rachel's Other Sister " that if he can't have Emma when Ross, Rachel, and Monica die, then Ross can't have Joey in the event of Chandler's death.

He later changes his mind. This does not stop him from pointing out his flaws, namely that he, "eats five times a day and shoves pennies up his nose. Prior to his relationship with Monica, Chandler has an on-again, off-again relationship with Janice, who becomes a constant recurring fixture in his life. With her big hair, her nasal voice and laugh, and her tendency to say "Oh As notified before, Janice has an extremely annoying laugh.

Chandler spends most of his time trying to break up with Janice. After breaking up with her in the season 1 episode " The One With The East German Laundry Detergent ", Chandler finds himself involved with Janice twice more that season and several more times throughout the show. There seems to be only one point in the entirety of the show where Chandler and Janice's relationship goes well, without him feeling the need to break up with her.

During the season 2 finale , Chandler chats with a woman in an Internet chat room, who reveals to him that her husband the Mattress King is sleeping with his secretary. He agrees to meet up with her, only to find that the woman he has been chatting with is Janice.

The finale ends with Chandler passionately kissing Janice. The relationship continues into season 3.
