Friends superfan Ben Barnes has put his own unique spin on the Friends theme song.

Barnes is a very talented singer, who was part of a boy band in Eurovision in 2004 and has occasionally posted his musical talents on social media.

In a video posted to social media, the Shadow & Bone actor shared his cover of the iconic theme song, “I’ll Be There For You” by The Rembrandts. Barnes gives us a very soulful rendition of the theme song.

The actor tweeted, “Who’s feeling nostalgic at the @friends reunion?! Felt compelled to mess with the theme song. #jenniferanniston @LisaKudrow #courtneycox #mattleblanc @MatthewPerry @DavidSchwimmer were such a huge part of my teens. I got the VHS every Xmas.
