Jennifer Aniston sat down with Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow for Variety’s Actors on Actors series this week and said something about Brad Pitt that nobody expected — revealing that when he came to film his famous Friends cameo he was just like every other major movie star who walked onto that set.
“The movie stars that came on Friends — Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Kathleen Turner — they were always nervous,” she told Kudrow. “These are movie stars coming to our sitcom and they would be so nervous.” She said it warmly, fondly, like someone who has made peace with every chapter of her story — and sitting beside her is Jim Curtis, the man friends say makes her feel safer than she has in years. Some people spend their whole lives trying to rewrite their past. Jennifer Aniston just proved she never needed to.
