The “Ugly Naked Guy” from Friends has finally been identified

Break out those mini muffins, because we finally have the answer to an old question Friends mystery.

Ugly Naked Guy, the perpetually naked neighbor in front of the Friends gang, made only two on-screen appearances in the long-running sitcom – Season 3's “The One with the Giant Poking Device” and Season 5's “The One Where Everyone Finds Out.” Neither Neither revealed their face. In each case, IMDb credits the role to Michael Hagerty, who also played Superintendent Mr. Treeger, but Hagerty told The Huffington Post that he never took on the role of Ugly Naked.

This role actually went to a man named Jon Haugen. During a “year-long quest” to find the actor, a Huffington Post writer contacted casting directors and producers, attempted to commission a detective portrait of the actor, estimated that Ugly Naked Guy could have been a ghost all along, and eventually I went back to a casting agent, who put him in touch with the man himself.

“There’s only one ugly, naked guy, man, and that was me,” Haugen said.
