LOS ANGELES: Actor Elle Fanning has revealed she decided to boycott "Friends" after she could not clear the audition for a role in the cult show and her sister Dakota made the cut.

In an interview with the PorterEdit, the 20-year-old actor said, "I might be remembering this wrong but I think I was gonna be one of Phoebe's triplets. I auditioned for it but I didn't get it and I was like, 'I'm boycotting the show, I'm never watching this again'. Then my sister was on it and I refused to watch the episode. I was like, "I am not watching this!" she added.

Friends, which started airing in 1994, was a worldwide phenomenon and continues to have a large fanbase.

The show, featuring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, enjoyed a decade long run on NBC.
