Although Schwimmer has anInstagramaccount and posted hisUber Eats commercialwithFriendscostarJennifer Anistonwhen the spot premiered last month, he leads a relatively private life.

In 2016, he explained that the level of fame he achieved onFriendsimpacted him in a significant way.

“It was pretty jarring and it messed with my relationship to other people in a way that took years, I think, for me to adjust to and become comfortable with,” he said onThe Hollywood Reporter’sAwards Chatterpodcast at the time.

“As an actor, the way I was trained, my job was to observe life and to observe other people, so I used to walk around with my head up, really engaged and watching people,” he added. “The effect of celebrity was the absolute opposite: It made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen.”

Weeks after hisFriendscostarMatthew Perry’s deathin October 2023, Schwimmer shared a tribute to his friend onInstagram.

“Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity,” he wrote alongside a photo of him posing with Perry on set.

“I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery,” he continued. “You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.”
