Friends' animal trainer slams David Schwimmer as "jealous" over his "despicable" comments about Marcel the Monkey

The Sun

Animal handler Mike Morris has responded to Schwimmer after he complained about working with Marcel during Friends: The Reunion. Marcel was actually played by two monkeys, one of whom died last year. Morris said that out of all the actors the monkeys have worked with, including Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc, they only ever had a problem with Schwimmer. "I have never ever watched Friends because of Schwimmer’s comments about the monkeys," said Morris. “I have refused to ever since he did an interview after the animals got written out of the show and he said they tried to bite him and throw poop at him."
