Chandler Bing Actor Matthew Perry worked with Bruce Willis in ‘The Whole Nine Yards’. Willis made a bet on the success of their film and Matthew challenged him to appear on the show if the movie works well at the box office when it was released. Bruce Willis did not have high hopes for the box office performance of their dark comedy film, so he took the bet and lost it.

Interestingly, the movie went on to make $106 million worldwide and become the No. 1 movie in America for three weeks straight which made Bruce Willis appear on Friends. The success of the movie meant the Fortress star had lost. According to the bet, the actor was required to join the series for a short stint to which he agreed.
