Jennifer Aniston has ruined the chances of a 'Friends' reunion by saying she will never play Rachel Green again.

The Hollywood actress has scuppered chances of a TV special or movie version of the hit show by saying she isn't interested in reprising her role.

A source said: "There have been whispers of a 'Friends' movie for a while now, especially with the 'Sex and the City' film finally getting the go-ahead.

"But it can't happen without Jen and she thinks 'Friends' has had it's time and she should move on with her film career.

"I think if they were given a chance the rest of the cast would probably go for it but Jen sees playing Rachel again - even in a film - as going back, not moving forward.

"She wants to earn respect as a movie actress in her own right and take on more serious roles to stretch her acting ability."

'Friends', which won prestigious Emmy and Golden Globe awards, was a global hit spanning 10 series between 1994 and 2004.

It also starred Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt Le Blanc, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.
