Is it true he's a jerk in real life?

The 'jerk' thing was something I meant to edit, but I still think he would be quite pompous in real life, even if he's not a jerk.
Based on what?
On the things I've just mentioned.
One paparazzo, two paparazzi. It's Italian.
Thanks. That was an important correction

When I watch "Friends," I always wonder how he was cast in the role. Everyone else contributes to the storylines in their characters' individual ways, but Schwimmer is just annoying. I find even his face unpleasant to look at and don't believe that any of the women who played his wives/girlfriends would ever give him the time of day. To me, he's just repulsive in every way.

: Following your (il)logic, no one would ever read a biography about a historical figure who was controversial to many or despised nearly universally. And your inability to grasp complexity or your disagreement with another person's comment doesn't make their views nonsense. -

He reminded me of a 6 yr old whiny brat who wanted an ice cream cone or a lollipop. Come mom I want it whining. He was very unlikable and no way hell would he ever have a chance with Rachel or his pretty ex-wife with that whiny attitude. They want a man and don't want to be his babysitter.

I met him unexpectedly a year ago. He was polite and very nice. He does things that he does not seek press for or want the press for (he does a lot to support rape crisis groups). I think he is an actor/writer/director that does not enjoy being a celebrity.

YES. He really isn't nice at all, so much more than just a jerk too. He now lives in NYC, in the East Village. There were numerous articles in the NY press over the years since Friends ended. Most of his neighbors hate him when he bought an old house built in 1852, and just when the city was going to give the house a landmark status, he knocked it down, angering the city and his neighbor because he purchased the house with the intent of demolishing it but failed to notify the city of his intentions. The original house was built in between 2 apartment buildings and I heard some of the demolition damaged the other buildings in the process, which the city expects him to pay for the repairs. It took YEARS to build it, as residents of the adjacent building had to deal with falling bricks and other construction debris, scaffolding and netting for about 3 years. One of his disgruntled neighbors eventually sprayed painted the house with Ross is not cool. But there could be a possible Friends title in there somewhere. The One Where Ross Buys A House and All His New Neighbors Hate Him is very fitting.
I know NBC really wanted us to believe they were all real friends in life, and for the most part they were when it was still on the air. With the exception of David. He never socialized with the rest of the cast. He kept his distance from them. I read somewhere they get together once a year at Courtenay Malibu home and David never attends. The closest cast members are Jennifer, Courtenay and Matthew still are friends. He seemed to cause the most trouble with the producers, writers and co-stars. For me during it's run, I disliked Ross the most, can't stand his whiny voice. -

He's got his money from his Friends time and he just doesn't give a crap, he's the biggest narcissist out of all six cast members. He's had no real contact with the cast, with the exception appearing on Lisa's series and the reunion, he got married and didn't invite one person associated with Friends including the creators and Executive Producers. It appears he's trying to remove all signs of the show that made him famous and a multimillionaire. I've saw him once from a distance when my girlfriend and I went to visit her aunt who worked in the wardrobe dept at Warner Brothers. He didn't come off as a nice person. maybe angry or resentful. I don't know what it was but when he was walking towards his trailer people jumped out of the way. When I asked her aunt what was that about? She just said success has gone to his head and he's just one nasty person and just leave it at that. I loved her aunt though, very funny and tells some great stories of old Hollywood.

A lot of things these days are about making money. Money isn't everything. Consideration of otherb68s is important too. It seems a shame that he didn't invite the 'Friends' cast to the wedding. Success has gone to his head by the sound of it, as he seems unpleasant from the perspective of others and this makes them avoid him. However, I love stories of old Hollywood

Make of that what you will. I get the impression he's a pompous jerk in real life and personally I think celebrities should sign autographs for their fans but he's at least talented and it doesn't stop me enjoying his work as Ross Gellar in Friends.
If you need some celebs autograph to validate you, maybe it's time to get a real life.
