Just yesterday, it might seem, [Jennifer Aniston](http://time.com/5056124/melissa-mccarthy-jennifer-aniston/) was still playing her iconic role as [Rachel Green](http://time.com/4774267/jennifer-aniston-on-friends-today/) on _Friends_ — and her baby on the beloved sitcom, Emma Geller-Green, was played by a set of twins named Noelle and Cali Sheldon. Fourteen years later, and the Sheldon sisters are set to be back on screen, now age 16 — and this time in a movie, not a TV show. And they’ve landed a prime gig for their star-making return, working under Jordan Peele on his hotly anticipated follow up to [_Get Out_](http://time.com/5159850/jordan-peele-get-out-fears-and-cultural-hope/), _Us._ Their coworkers: actors including [Lupita Nyong’o](http://time.com/5495838/lupita-nyongo-video-golden-globes/), Elisabeth Moss and Winston Duke. For child actors who got their start without a speaking role, that’s a pretty good development on the career front. They’ve had parts since friends, mostly in TV shows (like _Life_) and a [handful of](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1344400/?ref%5F=tt%5Fcl%5Ft8) short films, so clearly their Hollywood ambitions did not wane after their run on _Friends_ ended. But this will be their most high-profile return to screen to date. It’s not clear what roles they play yet — while their names are listed on the movie’s [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6857112/), the character names remains mysteriously blank — but we’ll all soon know when the thriller comes out in March. And with that, our memories of baby Emma will be forever changed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5499231/friends-twins-teens/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5499231/friends-twins-teens/"},"headline":"Rachel's Baby From Friends Is Actually a Set of Twin Teen Movie Actors Now","datePublished":"2019-01-10T17:03:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:52.653Z","description":"And they're in Jordan Peele's new movie","url":"https://time.com/5499231/friends-twins-teens/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5499231/friends-twins-teens/","name":"Rachel's Baby From Friends Is Actually a Set of Twin Teen Movie Actors Now"}}]}] ```
