Peter Andre Revealed David Schwimmer Requested That He Sing At His Wedding To Zoe Buckman
Ahead of the Friends reunion a couple of years back, Peter Andre made quite the reveal. He admitted David Schwimmer had asked him to sing at his star-studded wedding to Zoe Buckman. Although this would be a huge deal for most artists, Andre admits he had never watched a single episode of the show. Nonetheless, he had a great time at the wedding. He met Schwimmer at a hotel in London to confirm the gig.
Andre reveals, "I know everyone is really excited about the Friends reunion, but I've actually never watched a single episode! Bizarrely, I did sing at David Schwimmer's wedding in 2010, though."
"I got a call saying he wanted to meet me and I thought it was a wind-up. I went to a London hotel to meet him and we started talking and he said to me "I'd love you to sing at our wedding."
"And so I did. It was definitely strange seeing Thandiwe Newton and David Walliams in the same room, singing along to a song I never even knew they knew. It was wonderful."
At the time of the wedding back in 2010, Schwimmer and his former partner Buckman were very secretive about the entire process and, in fact, the news only leaked to the media months after their wedding day.
