Chris [McMillan] came in, I was 20 minutes old and I walked in and he basically was like… 'sit in the chair'. So, I sat in the chair and he went 'this is a disaster And then he just chopped it all off, and that's how it happened."
The 'Marley and Me' actress then quipped that she had "no say" in how they look - which was said to have been emulated by millions of women around the globe when 'Friends' was in its heyday - turned out.

He said: "I first created ‘The Rachel’ back when I met Jennifer, which was more than 20 years ago. Back then, Jennifer had really long hair with a fringe. I told her she should grow her fringe out, get some highlights and just try something a bit different. We cut the length and added in all these layers to blend the bottom to the bangs — and the rest is history. [Jennifer’s] initial reaction was great, she loved it then."
