Paul Rudd is no friend of “Friends.”

The full cast of cameos slated for the unscripted “Friends” reunion special was announced Tuesday night, a list which includes some of the show’s most famous fans, such as Justin Bieber, David Beckham, Lady Gaga, BTS and Cara Delevingne, to name just a few, as well as returning guests, namely Reese Witherspoon, Tom Selleck and Elliott Gould.

But there’s one notable guest star who appears to be let out of the project: Paul Rudd.

During the show’s ninth season, the now-52-year-old actor played Mike Hannigan, who would go on to marry Lisa Kudrow’s character Phoebe Buffay.

Despite being responsible for one of the show’s happier endings, the “Ant-Man” actor evidently won’t be part of the star-studded reunion — and fans are rightfully upset.

“The absence of Paul Rudd on this list is appalling,” said one fan.

“HOW CAN PAUL RUDD NOT BE IN THE FRIENDS REUNION?” asked another, pointing out that “Joey’s hand twin,” played by Thomas Lennon — a brief foil to Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) and his modeling ambitions — will make an appearance, while “Phoebe’s husband” is not.

Rudd isn’t the only A-lister missing from the reunion, as viewers point out that Brad Pitt, who played Rachel Green’s jilted lover, won’t be returning, along with a bevy of other boldface names who are skipping the special that airs May 27 on HBO Max.

Added one disappointed fan, “Paul rudd, george clooney, winona ryder, julia roberts, freddie prinze jr, ben stiller, susan sarandon, danny devito, bruce willis, brad pitt etc were all on friends and yet all they could get was the dude from game of thrones and justin bieber for the reunion…..”
