Jennifer Aniston is letting fans in on a delightful memory from her iconic 'Friends' days. While chatting with her former co-star Lisa Kudrow on the latest episode of Variety & CNN's Actors on Actors series, Aniston couldn't help but reminisce about Brad Pitt's unforgettable guest appearance on the show. Back in 2001, during the sitcom's eighth season, Pitt graced the set for the Thanksgiving episode titled 'The One with the Rumor.'
Aniston and Kudrow shared laughs as they recalled Pitt's role as Will Colbert, a high school pal of Ross (played by David Schwimmer), who co-founded the "I Hate Rachel Green Club." With a chuckle, Aniston noted the irony of it all – Pitt was married to her at the time!
“Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts. Isabella Rossellini. We had so many—Sean Penn. They were always nervous. Remember? I always found it fascinating how nervous they were,” Aniston remarked, sharing a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes nerves of Hollywood's elite.
The romance between Aniston and Pitt was the stuff of Hollywood legend. The two were set up on a blind date in 1998 by their agents and quickly became one of Tinseltown's most beloved couples. By 2000, they had tied the knot in a lavish Malibu ceremony attended by 200 lucky guests, including friends, family, and co-stars.
During their marriage, they didn't just shine on the red carpet but also joined forces in the business world. Together, they launched Plan B Entertainment, contributing to hits like 2004's 'Troy' and 2005's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' Yet, despite their seemingly fairy-tale romance, things took a turn, and the couple parted ways in January 2005.
Even after their separation, Aniston and Pitt have maintained a friendly rapport. During a candid chat with Howard Stern in 2021, Aniston revealed, "Brad and I are buddies, we're friends, and we speak, and there's no oddness at all." Their amicable relationship serves as a testament to the enduring bond they share beyond their romantic past.
The 'Friends' Thanksgiving episode remains a fan-favorite, capturing a unique moment in Aniston and Pitt's shared history. For fans, it's a delightful reminder of the magic they created both on and off-screen. Don't forget to follow the Mirror US on Google News for all the latest buzz in entertainment.
