‘Friends’ was one of the most popular shows during its time and still continues to turn viewers into a ball of laughter. That’s why its fans will recognise Ross Geller in an instant. However, in case you’re among the rare few who haven’t watched it, here’s a primer for you. Ross is a lovable, goofy Paleontologist, who’s considered to be the most intelligent among his group. He loves his sandwiches, he loves Rachel and in case he cheats on you, he’ll convince you that..
But why are we talking about him today? No, the actors are not getting back together for another season. It’s something far more serious. It’s because Ross Geller was spotted stealing something from a restaurant!
Well, it wasn’t actually the Ross Geller. However, the photo that Blackpool police put up on Facebook gave off major David Schwimmer (the actor who plays Ross) vibes.

“Do you recognise this man? We want to speak to him in relation to a theft at a Blackpool restaurant on the 20th September. If you know who this is, please email [email protected] quoting log LC-20180920-0670. Thank you for your help.”
Although the police requested for help, all they got back were ‘Friends’ jokes. Lots and lot of ‘Friends’ jokes.
1. Amen to that.
2. That’s what those cans of beer for?
3. Well, thievery is a big deal.
4. Hustlers gotta be hustling.
5. Now you can buy beer from him as well.
6. Definitely!
7. Words of wisdom right here.
8. That’s worth a reunion.
9. Please maintain safe distance from this creature.
10. Sure, sure.
So, what do you think is the story behind this guy? Is it just some David Schwimmer lookalike? Or has a real-life incarnation of Ross Geller appeared out of nowhere, snapped at the fact that he’s no more in a TV show and is wreaking havoc in Blackpool?
