David Schwimmer has recalled a 'genuinely frightening' incident on the set of Friends. The 58-year-old comic called for cameras to cut after seeing his co-star Matt LeBlanc go 'totally white' and look close to fainting after dislocating his shoulder. It happened when a fall went badly wrong during the taping of season three episode The One with the Jam.

He told Entertainment Weekly: 'During the live taping of the show, [Matt LeBlanc] is supposed to do a kind of a pratfall, and he actually dislocated his shoulder. '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.'.

'Because I've never been able to act in horror-action-comedy, and I'm such a fan. I'm a genuine fan of horror.'. The series will see David play botanist Anthony Brewer, who needs to use his science skills to stop a shocking disappearance from his childhood reoccurring for a new generation.
