Working on popular series, which are filmed for years, often brings the main actors together, which is no wonder, since the actors have to spend ten or more hours on the set every day, according to the Fox and Fox Life channels.

Sometimes the ensemble of actors of a series becomes so close that the friendship lasts many years after the end of filming. A vivid example of this is the lead actors of the cult series “Friends”, especially Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. They are still best friends 20 years after the last episode aired. It should be noted that Aniston is also the godmother of Cox’s daughter Coco.
On the other hand, the full cast of the Fox series “Genius in a Suit” (“Suits”) was invited to the wedding of British Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018. The reason for this was the close relationship between the bride and the actors, with whom she starred together for eight seasons, until she left her acting career to become part of the royal family.
In 2011, the United Nations (UN) declared July 30 as the International Day of Friendship, calling for the celebration of friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals. It can promote world peace and build bridges between different communities. The origin of the holiday can be found in the Latin American country of Paraguay, where it began to be celebrated already in 1958.
“Grey’s Anatomy” Kristina and Owen – friends in real life too
One of the brightest characters of the popular “Fox Life” series “Grey’s Anatomy” was the doctor Christine Young, played by Canadian actress Sandra Ou. The actress devoted ten years of her life to this role. On the set, she forms several friendships, especially with actor Kevin Makida.
Even years after leaving “Grey’s Anatomy”, the actors spent a lot of time together and shared pictures on their social media accounts. It should be noted that both were happy in romantic relationships with other partners.

Kevin told reporters that he and Sandra really trust each other. The actor also said that during the long hours spent on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy”, they discussed what was happening in their lives and helped each other overcome difficult moments.
Kevin, who played Owen in the series, revealed to “People” magazine last year that he tried many times to persuade Sandra to return to his role in “Grey’s Anatomy”: “We are very good friends and when we meet, I ask her to film at least one episode!”. It should be noted that currently the 19th season of the popular TV series “Grey’s Anatomy” is being watched on Sunday evenings on the Fox Life channel.

Chandler Riggs grew up on the set of the cult series “The Walking Dead”. Riggs was only ten years old when producers cast him as Carl Grimes. The actor was 17 years old at the time of the shocking death of the character he played. During this time, Riggs developed a close bond with his on-screen “father” Rick Grimes, played by actor Andrew Lincoln.
In 2016, when asked if he had a close relationship with any of the “Walking Dead” actors, Riggs said it was Andrew. “We spent a lot of time together on the set, and he became my close friend,” said the young actor.

Three years later, in 2019, Riggs confirmed that despite the age difference, he and Lincoln continue to maintain a relationship, even sometimes filming on opposite sides of the world. If it is not possible to meet, the actors will be listed in e-mails and text messages.
A year later, Riggs publicly expressed his joy that Lincoln could finally spend more time with his family after leaving the series and “be a normal dad to his kids instead of working 16-hour days.”
The actors of the series “We”: the family also off the screen
For six seasons, the cast of the most heart-warming American series “This is us” made us live through the hardships of the Pearson family and rejoice with them. It turns out that even when the cameras were off, the actors had a good time together.
Sterling Brown told reporters that he is always happy to go to the set, because there is a positive atmosphere. He also compared actors to family. “Of course, it sounds like a cliché, but when you have to answer the question: ‘Do we really love each other?’, the answer is always ‘Yes, of course!'”. He also added that the fact that actors Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, who play his parents, are younger than him in real life is not an obstacle to friendship.
Co-stars Moore and Ventimiglia also became very close on set, which eased the long hours they had to spend filming. “We developed a real friendship, we supported each other, and it also helped to play our characters better,” said the actor in an interview.
The secret of the relationship between the actors of “Criminal Skeleton”.
The series “Criminal Skeleton” perfectly combines detective with mysterious murders, unique investigations, melodrama, comedy and ironic humor.
The main characters of the series are the forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, played by Emily Deschanel, and the special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Seely Booth, played by David Borenas.
During the filming of the series, the two main actors developed a real friendship that did not fade with the last episode. In 2019, David said that his good relationship with Emily is one of the reasons why he fondly remembers working on “Criminal Skeleton”.

Emily Deschanel also spoke publicly about the good time: “We had a great relationship, we laughed about a million things and he was like a brother to me. We had a lot of fun!”.
Deschanel also admitted that work on the series was so intense that she and David spent more time with each other than with their significant others and other people. Realizing that such close contact could also lead to conflict, Emily and David gave each other permission to, for example, simply leave the room when they felt they could no longer bear the other’s presence. It apparently worked because the two spent 12 years together side by side and their conflicts at work, if any, were not known to the press.
