David Schwimmer, the actor who played Ross in Friends: "I did not steal the beers"

The search for an English police team consisting of a thief "similar" to actor David Schwimmer, who portrays the role of Ross Geller in the popular TV series Friends, clearly shows that it's not him in a video that he posted on social networks

Officials from Blackpool, a coastal city in northwestern England, shared a CCTV video from the man, nicknamed the "exact copy" of Schwimmer, holding a crate of beer.

The actor reacted Wednesday to the joke videos published in the Blackpool police publication on Facebook.
