"Of course it was thrilling, exciting and fun but for me personally it was pretty jarring," he said. "It messed with my relationship to other people in a way that took years, I think, for me to kind of adjust to and be comfortable with."He added:
"As an actor, the way I was trained, my job was to observe life and to observe other people, and so I used to walk around with my head up, and really engaged and watching people."Schwimmer explained that starring in the show had the opposite effect on him.
"It made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen. And I realised after a while that I was no longer watching people; I was trying to hide. So I was trying to figure out: How do I be an actor in this new world, in this new situation? How do I do my job? That was tricky."He said that becoming a huge star meant that people treated him very differently, and although it was sometimes "flattering", he says that it was mostly "very invasive". So, all in all, it sounded pretty stressful for poor old Ross.
Several of the other friends cast have said similar things about starring in the massive show.
Lisa Kudrow previously compared all the attention to assault, and Mathew Perry struggled with addiction throughout the show, claiming earlier this year that he doesn't even remember a large portion of filming the show.
