Friends fans have been left in shock after a TikTok user exposed Jennifer Aniston's "vocal tic" on the show.

He then launched into a rant about how the 52 year old actress, who previously sparked speculation she's back with ex-husband Brad Pitt, tends to clear her throat before starting a sentence, especially in circumstances where her character isn't sure what to say or is about to say something particularly funny.
"Okay so technically this isn't a trope, but what I'm about to say is going to ruin your life especially if you are a big fan of the show Friends," he started.

When it ended, the TikTok user panned the camera onto himself and mimicked the action as he said "ahem" before giving the camera a shocked face expression.
While some were clearly taken aback by the revelation, die-hard fans couldn't help but try to defend Jennifer's "vocal tic" as one person wrote: "she did smoke alot on set and back then thats prob why". [sic]
Another thought it was simply part of her character's person as they said: "i thought it was just like acting? to indicate that the character is like uncomfy she only seems to do it in situations that are a little awkward". [sic]
