Friends: The Practically Impossible Pete Becker Quiz
Jon Favreau's original Iron Man, can you remember which sport Pete Becker nearly killed himself at?
There’s a whole fan community for Friends that to this day wonder what happened to successful business mogul and multi-millionaire Pete Becker. In fact, the actor who portrayed him Jon Favreau himself said he often wonders from time to time where Becker ended up in life and relationships.
In originally casting Favreau for the part, the Friends producers and casting directors admitted that he was a challenging role to hire an actor for. As they put it they needed to find "someone who was appealing enough that we liked him, so we could root for him, but on the other hand, wasn't so drop-dead male model gorgeous that we would go, 'What's your problem?' to Monica when she didn't fall for him."
In the end, Monica decided Pete Becker wasn’t quite for her and we all know that by the final season she was happily married to Chandler Bing and had started a family together with adopted kids. Things ended perfectly for Monica but we’ll never know in contrast if Pete even found his dream girl.
For today's quiz you'll need to switch your brain well back to the 1990s as we revisit all things Jon Favreau's Pete Becker!
