David Schwimmer has been offered $1 million (£762,500) to rehash iconic character Ross Geller in Friends…for a porn parody.

The American actor has been propositioned with a starring role in YouPorn’s X-rated film after he re-enacted his look-alike thief in a hilarious video last month.

The organisation sent Schwimmer a letter referencing the hit show and promised a Rachel has been found to star alongside him.

It reads: “To make everyone’s dreams come true, we want to bring those talents back to the screen and are offering you a $1 million contract to star in your very own FRIENDS porn parody.

“We know it’s not the silver screen, but we already have a Rachel on board and think it’s the perfect PIVOT! in your career.

“We’ll even let you wear those leather pants again!”

A representative for Schwimmer declined to comment.

Schwimmer shot to fame on the 90s sitcom alongside co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry.

The offer comes after the 52-year-old hilariously responded to police-issued CCTV footage of a man who looked just like him following a theft in Blackpool.

The thief's image sent the Internet into a frenzy with thousands of people spotting his resemblance to the Friends star.

The actor somehow spotted the local police report from Blackpool before comically clearing his name by posing as his doppelganger to recreate the police image of the suspected thief.

Filmed in a US shop, Schwimmer mimics carrying beer and looking into the camera.

He tweeted: “Officers, I swear it wasn't me. As you can see, I was in New York.

“To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.”
