Taking the spotlight from New York’s ever-so-famous Central Park and shining it instead on Central Perk and engraving forever in the rom-com lexicon, the phrase “We were on a break!“, Friends can take up the credit for being the backbone of an entire nation’s personality. And in the case of Rachel Zegler, it can also take credit for her name. Unless Jennifer Aniston wants to take credit.

From the long-lasting impact of the show and the prayers of those yet to get over the Angelina Jolie cameo in the Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt timeline, comes another addition to the list of things common between Angelina Jolie and the Friends actress, artfully delivered by Rachel Zegler.

Jennifer Aniston is almost a part of Disney thanks to Rachel Zegler

In its pursuit of honoring Walt Disney’s will, Disney found its new Snow White in Rachel Zegler. While the actress boasts of a Golden Globe-winning performance in West Side Story, inspired by the iconic Friends character, Rachel Green, the name speaks for itself. In a TikTok posted by GMA3 as reported by Cinema Blend, Zeglar revealed that her mom thought “the name ‘Rachel’ for Jennifer Aniston’s character sounded beautiful on TV.”

Owing to her mother’s love for the sitcom, the upcoming actress found herself blessed with a name that boasted of a rich television heritage. While Jennifer Aniston may have played a huge role in the actress’ life, it is all on Rachel Zegler to make the best use and bring justice to it. Especially as she takes on one of the biggest roles in fairytale history.

The one where Rachel gets a Disney role

Jennifer Aniston has been around for a long time in the industry. However, owing to the decade-long sitcom, the actress did not have the chance to dabble in other big franchises. And despite having the looks and etiquette for it, Aniston did not get a shot at being a Disney princess. But Rachel Zegler will be taking on the role of Snow White with a dash of Rachel Green. Albeit offhandedly, this is the closest that the Friends actress has come to a Disney role.

Much like Rachel Green’s unforgettable journey from working at Central Perk to finding her own path, Rachel Zegler is poised to enchant us all as Disney’s Snow White, proving that a name shared with a beloved character might just be the start of a fairy tale.
