In the show, Paul played Mike, Phoebe's main love interest. One person tweeted: "Okay but where’s Paul Rudd tho? we got Tom Selleck and James Michael Tyler here but not him?" Another added: "Paul Rudd, George Clooney, Winona Ryder, Julia Roberts, Freddie Prinze Jr, Ben Stiller, Susan Sarandon, Danny Devito, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt etc were all on Friends and yet all they could get was the dude from Game of Thrones and Justin Bieber for the reunion."
Paul won't be joining the reunion episode
A third person added: "Paul Rudd not being a part of the Friends reunion even though he played phoebe’s husband and he was a part of the show for almost two whole seasons.... feels very wrong to me idk."
