  • Eagle-eyed "Friends" fans have discovered another surprising Easter egg in one of the episodes
  • Fans noticed a scene that apparently gave a nod to Jennifer Aniston's heritage in the Season 7 finale
  • Aniston recently encouraged her followers to continue wearing masks

“Friends” fans have brilliantly dug up another Easter egg in the hit sitcom.

Eagle-eyed viewers of the TV series are back at it again in spotting minute but interesting details in the 1994 show “Friends.” In the Season 7 finale “The One With Chandler and Monica’s Wedding,” Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) are in a frenzy after things start to go wrong before the event.

Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) gets cold feet before his nuptials and suddenly goes AWOL on his friends, while Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), who is supposed to officiate the wedding, has been held up on the set of his new movie.

Taking matters into their own hands, Phoebe sets off to find the missing Chandler, while Rachel is tasked to find a replacement minister for the wedding. She then finds one at a Greek Orthodox wedding, celebrating the union of two families—Papasifakis and Anastasakis.

For those unaware, the latter is Aniston’s original family name, and the scene is a nod to the now-51-year-old actress' family heritage in Crete, Greece.

John Aniston, the “Friends” alum’s actor father, was born Yiannis Antonios Anastasakis. The change came after the family moved to the United States when Aniston’s father was only 2 years old and decided to make their names more English.

Meanwhile, Aniston recently made headlines after using her massive platform on Instagram to discuss the importance of wearing a mask during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, E! News reported.

"I understand masks are inconvenient and uncomfortable,” Aniston captioned the selfie post of her donning a black mask. “But don't you feel that it's worse that businesses are shutting down... jobs are being lost... health care workers are hitting absolute exhaustion. And so many lives have been taken by this virus because we aren't doing enough.”

"I really do believe in the basic goodness of people so I know we can all do this," the actress continued. "BUT still, there are many people in our country refusing to take the necessary steps to flatten the curve, and keep each other safe."

The “Morning Show” star then pointed out that wearing a mask shouldn’t be “politicized” nor something to “debate.” She urged her 34.4 million followers to lead by example and encourage others to do the same.
