Twins who played Emma Geller in Friends are now 16 and starring in Jordan Peele’s horror film Us
REMEMBER Ross and Rachel’s sweet baby Emma from Friends?
The infant was actually played by identical twins Cali and Noelle Sheldon, who are now grown up and are starring in a new horror film by Get Out director Jordan Peele.
Oh, and they recently turned 16 – how old does that make you feel?!
They first appeared as the child of Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer’s characters on the show in 2003, and starred until the sitcom ended a year later.
Since sharing the role on Friends, they have kept busy with a number of roles in short films, and their latest casting looks very interesting indeed.
Cali and Noelle are currently starring in their first horror feature film called Us, which is a thriller starring Elizabeth Moss, Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke.
They play Becca and Lindsey, the obnoxious daughters of Elisabeth Moss' character Kitty Tyler and her husband Josh, played by Tim Heidecker.
Becca and Lindsey play cruel pranks on each other - but also get to show off their gymnastics skills.
Cali revealed:"The Tylers see themselves as better than the Wilsons, but they try not to show it.
"Lindsey and Becca don’t really like the Wilson kids, Zora and Jason, so they play little pranks on them and are mean to Zora and Jason in subtle ways. They don’t like us much either.”
Director Jordan Peele won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his film Get Out, so we are expecting good things.
He discussed the sisters' performance in the movie, saying: "They have a couple of scenes where they really steal the show!"
After their stint in Friends, the twin sisters appeared in the 2006 movie Novel Romance and in Damian Lewis' NBC series, Life.
Noelle previously discussed her famous role in a 2015 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
She said: “I grew up knowing that I was on Friends, but I didn’t realise the extent of it until I was 10!"
Cali said she could tell who was who because “Noelle had more baby fat.”
However, the pair did admit they never kept in touch with their adult Friends co-stars.
The twins are extremely close and have called each other “soul mate” and “bestie” on social media.
Cali and Noelle got the Friends job after their mum read on a twin parenting blog that many film and TV productions seek out twins for acting jobs due to the time restraints on young actors.
The twins don’t remember their time on the show, but their parents tell them that all the stars of the sitcom were “really nice.”
Noelle previously told about playing Emma: "A lot of people in our school watch it, and most of them know we were in it, so they think that's pretty cool.”
Their mum Gretchen Sheldon added: “Everyone was really, really nice to Noelle and Cali, and treated them like little princesses on the set.
"[Friends] was filmed before a live audience, and Cali and Noelle would come out, and they would be waving and engaging with the live audience. It was a lot of fun."
