During a live taping of 'Friends', Matt LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder while performing a pratfall, sending him to the hospital and forcing the production to halt filming.
David Schwimmer recalled a 'genuinely frightening' moment while live taping the hit show 'Friends.' Schwimmer, now 58, revealed the medical emergency that sent his co-star, Matt LeBlanc, to the hospital. 'During the live taping of the show, Matt is supposed to do a kind of a pratfall, and he actually dislocated his shoulder,' Schwimmer told Entertainment Weekly. 'He went totally white, and he stood up, and I could see his shoulder was out. He looked like he was going to pass out.
' He recalled 'immediately turning to the camera like, 'Cut, cut, cut.' That was genuinely frightening,' the actor noted. 'You could see how badly hurt he was. And we had to stop filming that night, obviously, and he went to hospital.' 'That was scary,' he emphasized. LeBlanc's on-set injury was first revealed during HBO Max's 'Friends' reunion. The actors had been filming 'The One Where No One’s Ready' when LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder. In the episode, LeBlanc's character Joey fought Matthew Perry's Chandler Bing for a chair in the apartment while waiting for the girls to get ready. He had successfully filmed the take jumping into a chair three times, but they chose to shoot a fourth take. 'I went to jump over the coffee table and somehow tripped,' he explained. 'My legs went up in the air and my shoulder came out of the socket.' LeBlanc's injury ended up being written into 'The One With the Jam.' 'We put that into the show, then we waited until he was OK to go back and film the ending of ‘The One Where No One’s Ready,'' executive producer Kevin Bright said. 'What started out to be the simplest ‘Friends’ episode ended up taking the longest amount of time to shoot.' Schwimmer and LeBlanc starred in 'Friends' alongside Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox and the late Matthew Perr
