People have been left gobsmacked after noticing something unusual about Matthew Perry's hand in Friends.

In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, viewers of the show have been left shocked after having realised that they never noticed the detail before.

Friends fans will know that in one episode of the show, we learn that Perry's character, Chandler Bing, loses the tip of his toe in a freak accident.

It happens after Monica drops a kitchen knife onto his shoe while trying to seduce him, in a throwback episode of when they were younger - ‘The One with All the Thanksgivings’.

In the ep, Monica wants to get back at Chandler after he made fun of her weight the previous year, but never intends on chopping his toe off.

Chandler is rushed to hospital, but loses his 'pinky' after Monica accidentally brings a carrot on ice, instead of the tip of his toe.

When Chandler finds out the real reason why he lost part of his toe, he's pretty angry with Monica, but she's forgiven after she puts a turkey on her head and dances around the apartment.

It can be spotted in one scene with Eddie.

But did you know that the storyline of Chandler losing his toe may actually be inspired by real life events?

According to the Mirror, Perry got his middle finger stuck in a door when he was just three years old.

You may not have noticed that one finger on his right hand is a little shorter than the others, but it can be spotted in certain scenes.

It's especially noticeable in one scene with his former roommate Eddie, when he puts his hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

Writing on Twitter, one person said: "Na av just noticed chandler in friends is missin the top of his middle finger n I can’t not see it now wtf."

While another added: "Two things: 1. I'm actually watching 'Friends' 2. THE END OF CHANDLER'S MIDDLE FINGER IS MISSING!?!"

And a third wrote: "When ur watching friends and u notice that chandler doesn't have a finger tip."

A fourth said: "Just seen that chandler off friends has the tip of his finger missing how did I never notice that when I was younger hahaha."

"I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I LEARNED CHANDLER FROM FRIENDS IS MISSING PART OF HIS MIDDLE FINGER," added a fifth.

Did you spot this?
