Jennifer Aniston Thinks Ex-Husband Brad Pitt’s Cameo Is This Friends was absolutely hilarious, looking back fondly on his appearance during a rare public reflection on their past.
The actress, who played Rachel Green on the hit NBC sitcom, recalled the series’ iconic Thanksgiving-themed episodes during a joint interview with her former co-star Lisa Kudrow for Variety.
When Kudrow brought up Pitt’s appearance and noted how hilarious it was, Aniston completely agreed, smilingly recalling how funny the moment turned out.
This memorable appearance took place in 2001, during the eighth season of the series, when Pitt and the Morning show The star was still married.
In the classic episode titled The one with the rumorPitt played Will Colbert, a character who secretly hated Rachel Green and even formed an “I Hate Rachel” club with Ross Geller, played by David Schwimmer.
Despite the fact that Aniston and Pitt divorced in 2005 after five years of marriage, the Hollywood couple has managed to stay on good terms in the more than two decades since their split.
During her conversation with Kudrow, the Emmy-winning actress pointed out that Pitt was just one of the huge “movie stars” who walked the Friends fixed over the years.
She put together a star-studded roster of legendary guest actors, including Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, Isabella Rossellini and Sean Penn.
Interestingly, Aniston revealed that no matter how famous or accomplished these celebrity guests were in the broader film industry, they were always incredibly nervous about performing on the sitcom stage, a fact she always found deeply fascinating.
Kudrow agreed with his former castmate, explaining that the unique acting style required for Friends, which also starred Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry, was totally different from what movie stars were typically used to.
She recalled that guests would have difficulty finding the right tone because the multi-camera format is neither traditional theater, cinema, nor typical television.
Kudrow laughed as she recalled how she once tried to explain the secret of sitcom delivery to a confused guest star, telling them to keep the exact same intention but just speak louder, to which Aniston jokingly responded to finish her sentence, shouting, “Just louder!”
