On "Friends," Jean-Claude Van Damme asked Rachel out. In the Season 2 two-part episode "The One After the Superbowl," Rachel and Monica encounter Van Damme while visiting the film set where Ross's former pet Marcel is appearing. Monica initially has a crush on him and asks Rachel to speak to him because she feels too nervous to approach him herself.
Rachel introduces herself and mentions Monica's interest, but Van Damme is attracted to Rachel instead and asks her on a date. Rachel accepts, creating a conflict between the friends. Monica feels betrayed because she had openly liked him first, while Rachel argues that Van Damme personally chose to ask her out.
The episode later heightens the rivalry when Monica and Rachel both date him at different points. A common mix-up is remembering that Monica was the one who first wanted to date Van Damme. However, the question asks whom Van Damme asked out, and that person was Rachel. The guest appearance was part of the show's exceptionally star-studded second-season Super Bowl event.
