Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow’s Hilarious Take on Brad Pitt's Surprise Cameo

Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow are recounting Brad Pitt's cameo on an episode of Friends.

Pitt, 62, made a guest appearance on the hit NBC sitcom opposite his then-wife Aniston during the show's eighth season in November 2001.

In the episode titled "The One with the Rumor," Pitt's character Will Colbert was part of an "I Hate Rachel" club in high school alongside Ross Geller, who was played by David Schwimmer.

At the time the episode was filmed, Pitt was married to Aniston, 57, who played Rachel Green. The duo was married for five years before their divorce in 2005, but have remained on amicable terms.

In an interview for Variety's Actors on Actors, Kudrow and Aniston acknowledged that Friends' Thanksgiving episodes had a slew of big-name guest stars.

"When Brad was on, that was hilarious," Kudrow said.

"I know. How funny," Aniston added. "The movie stars that came on Friends. Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts. Isabella Rossellini. We had so many — Sean Penn."

And while there was plenty of star power, the guests themselves were often nervous to be acting on a sitcom filmed before a live studio audience.

"They were always nervous. Remember? I always found it fascinating how nervous they were," Aniston noted.

Added Kudrow: "Yes. Nervous. Well, because what's the tone? It's not theater; it's for TV. It's not a movie. What the hell is this? And it's a good question. And I remember someone asked one time. I didn't know how to explain it, so I said, 'Oh, just talk louder. Same intention, just —' "

"Just louder!" Aniston said.

Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles

These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.

All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.

Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass

Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.

Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo

If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”

Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics

Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
