Friends featured some pretty impressive cameos in its time (remember the one where Brad Pitt played Ross's school friend and Rachel's biggest hater?), but it seems there's one major star who we just missed out on seeing in on the 90s sitcom: Paul McCartney. Yes, the Beatles front man almost played the role of Emily Waltham's dad in series 4. He could of been Ross's potential father-in-law.
The series' casting director Leslie Litt told Huffington Post that she tried to get Sir Paul to appear on the show: "I went through his manager and gave him all the details." But apparently, he was just too busy for the TV gig. Dang.
However, she seemed pretty chuffed to share that she did receive an apologetic note from Sir Paul. "One day, someone in the office brought me a faxed letter written to me by Paul himself! He thanked me for my interest and said how flattered he was, but it was a very busy time for him," she said. Wow, a fax. Soo 90s.
With Paul out of the picture, Tom Conti played the part of Emily's dad in the double whammy that was 'The One With Ross's Wedding', or as it's better know: 'The One Where Ross Says Rachel's Name At The Alter.' Just imagine: it could have been Paul shaking his fists at Ross, trying to bribe his family for the cost of a wine cellar and new lawn. Ah well, we'll just have to let it be, it clearly wasn't Leslie's day, her week, her month...

1 of 11GALLERY>> Top 10 90s Style Icons
2 of 11Cher Horowitz from Clueless
Cher Horowitz was the coolest kid in Beverley Hills with knee high socks, check suits and alice bands. And she had the best moving wardrobe we have ever seen. Topshop Unique's S/S 13 had a look of Cher with a check dress and bright yellow blazer.
3 of 11Cindy Crawford
The supers ruled the 90s and Cindy could rock a suit better than anyone! Chloe Sevigny's outfit is a modern update on Cindy's signature style.
4 of 11Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani's look in No Doubt was all about coloured hair, crop tops, zips and plenty of attitude.
5 of 11Rachel Green from Friends
Gwen Stefani's look in No Doubt was all about coloured hair, crop tops, zips and plenty of attitude.
6 of 11Courtney Love
Gwen Stefani's look in No Doubt was all about coloured hair, crop tops, zips and plenty of attitude.
7 of 11Blossom
Blossom was a TV sitcom which was an explosion of crazy hats, waistcoats, ankle socks and dungarees. Head-to-toe the look is disastrous but try one piece at a time, like Alexa in her denim dungarees.
8 of 11Drew Barrymore
Back in the 90s Drew was a hippie princess with tie-dye, flowers in her hair and bright colours. House of Holland S/S 13 had plenty of Drew Barrymore circa 1990s look-a-likes.
9 of 11Elaine Benes from Seinfeld
Elaine Benes in Seinfeld used to wear granny floral dresses, socks and brogues - all very 2012 eh? Update the look with low heels like Florence Welsh.
10 of 11Kelly Kapowski (Tiffany from Saved by the Bell)
Saved By The Bell's Tiffany is the ultimate pretty, popular girl and she wore pastels, pumps and florals. Channel Tiffany in floral jeans like Olivia Palermo.
11 of 11Kelly Bundy from Married With Children
We're not only envious of Kelly's (played by Christina Appelgate) thick, long hair we also love her wardrobe. She wore crop tops, denim cut offs and crosses round her neck. Copy her look with a floral bomber jacket like Jessie J.
