Throughout the course of a 10-year run of the ’90s sitcom, several Hollywood stars made guest appearances. But when the Girl, Interrupted actress appeared, she brought out Rachel Green’s wild side on the show. Talking about her appearance, Ryder once revealed, “I was kind of bummed out because we got a couple of chances to do some pretty nice kisses,” per Micky. The reason why she felt disappointed was because she believed she could have done it better.
She said in the scene, all the viewers could see was her hair and no lips. Therefore, she did not find her performance up to the mark as she imagined it to be. Nevertheless, she admitted the Cake star was a good kisser. Apparently, on the 20th episode of season 7 of the show, Ryder starred as Rachel Green’s old sorority sister, Melissa Warburton. The episode revolved around Rachel trying to prove she and Melissa kissed in the past.
So, by the end of the episode, when Rachel was saying goodbye to Melissa, they shared a kiss while Phoebe stood right beside them. The episode ended on a hilarious note that Melissa had been in love with Rachel since the day they kissed in the past. However, Rachel never felt the same. It makes us think if Winona Ryder regretted the scene not being the way she wanted. However, she was not alone in feeling uncomfortable while kissing the 54-year-old actress.

The Die Hard actor and Matthew Perry had a bet that landed him on the sitcom. He starred as Paul Stevens, who had a romantic relationship with Rachel Green. Now, the on-screen pair had to share kisses several times, which Willis found awkward because of Brad Pitt. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt were close friends when the former actor had to share intimate moments with Jennifer Aniston.
No one is unaware of the relationship between the Horrible Bosses actress and the Fight Club actor. Despite the uncomfortable feelings, Bruce Willis slayed his performance as Peter Sevens, who was a crybaby in the relationship. And because of Rachel’s failed relationships, the show could intensify the best Ross-Rachel moments throughout the show.
