Are you ready to feel really,reallyold?
Well, Emma from “Friends” is officially all grown up.
And on June 17, 2023, the sisters celebrated a milestone birthday they’re 21!
And if that doesn’t make you feel old, we don’t know what will.
They don’t remember anything about being on Friends
What is your earliest memory?
By the time “Friends” ended, Noelle and Cali weren’t yet two years old.
The main characters were six 20-somethings living in New York City, after all.
Some wild antics were bound to ensue.
As such, Gretchen Carpenter didn’t let her young girls watch the show.
Plus, Christina Applegate plays Rachel’s sister and does so hilariously.
Noelle joked, “24 hour Friends marathon!”
“Friends” binges are essentially a rite of passage whether you were on the show or not.
“Life” went on without them, ending in 2009 after a total of 32 episodes.
Especially after starring in a high-caliber show like “Friends.”
However, Noelle and Cali are far from jaded.
Unlikeother child stars, Carpenter said her children’s careers “happened organically.”
She acknowledged that they didn’t make a determined effort to prevent acting from taking over their lives.
In an interview withBustleat the time,Cali laid her plans out on the table.
Um, wow just wow.
But she didn’t end there.
Instead, she said she will then go on to “write a book.”
“I want to be a barista when I’m 18,” then-12-year-old Noelle admitted toBustle.
It almost feelstooperfect, doesn’t it?
We’re sure Rachel would be so proud.
We can only hope that she won’t have a boss likeGunther.
Much like Rachel, Noelle doesn’t foresee staying a barista forever.
However, she admitted to Bustle, “I don’t know what else after that.”
Of course, she would have plenty of time to decide what kind of career she wanted to pursue.
Although the exact reason for this is unknown, many feel genetics are responsible.
As identical twins share the same DNA, it certainly makes sense.
The twins who played Emma are no exception.
Noelle and Cali are definitely sisters that share that sort of bond.
Now those are some sibling goals right there.
Noelle commented back to her sister on the social media platform, writing, “Happy birthday twinnie.”
When they were younger,both girls were into softballand Cali had an additional interest in basketball.
Cali and Noelle are also into winter sports.
While Cali has shared a photo of herselfice-skating, Noelle has confirmed shesnowboards.
Needless to say, these avid adventurers are not afraid of the great outdoors.
Actually, instead of forgetting, the girls actively have a go at remember.
If you’ve seen the film, you know that the pair end up getting a little creepy!
“We each played two characters,” Noelle toAccess Hollywood.
“I was Lindsey and Nix and Cali was Becca and Io,” explained.
“So basically we were bratty twin teenagers and then psycho murderer monsters.”
In an interview on the red carpet for the film’spremiere, the twins gushed about the film.
That’s right, Cali’s dream of going to UCLA came true!
And by the looks of things, they are both proud to be students at the school.
In 2023, Noelle shared another series ofphotosshowing her and her college friends spending spring break in Cabo.
Cali went on to explain that the organization was fundraising to build a second school in the city.
Cali encouraged followers to donate for the cause.
Cali’sGoFundMeshared a little more detail about her time Arusha.
This wasn’t the first time Cali volunteered for a good cause, though.
While Cali enjoys writing and is studying communications, Noelle is studying psychobiology.
However, Noelle has also pursued an interest in writing and working behind the camera.
In fact, while at UCLA, she began writing and directing her own films.
“Directorial debut with 2 short films I wrote and directed this weekend!!”
she wrote onInstagramin May 2022.
