David Schwimmer was filming the young adult series Goosebumps: The Vanishing when he was reminded that he’s not a young adult himself.

Chatting with PEOPLE for One Last Thing, the former Friends star shares the last time he got injured: he inadvertently tweaked his back while filming a scene in the series based on the fan-favorite R. L. Stine books.

“There was a day filming Goosebumps that required doing a stunt over and over,” says Schwimmer.

“I get spun on the stool sitting at my desk and yanked forward. I didn’t really hurt myself, but the next day I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not longer 22.” For the record, Schwimmer is 58.

Last moment of gratitude
Earlier today when someone was asking about the 30th anniversary of Friends. It just brings up a lot of gratitude for me that people are still discovering the show and still finding it funny and comforting after so many years.

Last moment of self-care
I rarely do this, but I treated myself to get a deep tissue massage. Life, stress, travel — sometimes your body needs a massage every now and then. I should do that more often. I don’t know why I don’t.

Last moment of pride
That happens almost every day with my kid [Cleo, 13], who this past week finished an incredible piece of art — it was a painting of Alan Turing. And I was like, “Damn, that’s objectively pretty great.”

Last guilty pleasure
This company Whitley’s Peanut Factory makes milk chocolate peanut clusters in these huge tins. I ate about a half a tin while I was home alone watching some television. I just ordered 10 more.

Goosebumps: The Vanishing is now streaming on Disney + and Hulu.
