Jennifer Aniston<\/a> couldn’t believe how “nervous” Hollywood stars were on Friends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jennifer Aniston has reflected on Friends’ guest stars<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old actress, best known for playing Rachel Green on the iconic sitcom, has recalled the show’s string of famous guest stars, which included her now-ex Brad Pitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with co-star Lisa Kudrow<\/a>, 62, for Variety’s Actors on Actors series, she said: “The movie stars that came on Friends. Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts. Isabella Rossellini.<\/p>\n

“We had so many \u2014 Sean Penn. They were always nervous. Remember? I always found it fascinating how nervous they were.”<\/p>\n

Lisa, who played Phoebe Buffay on the show, thinks the performance style on the show was different to the film and theatre worlds.<\/p>\n

\nShe explained: “Yes. Nervous. Well, because what\u2019s the tone? It\u2019s not theatre; it\u2019s for TV. It\u2019s not a movie. What the hell is this?<\/p>\n

\n“And it\u2019s a good question. And I remember someone asked one time. I didn\u2019t know how to explain it, so I said, #Oh, just talk louder. Same intention, just \u2014'”<\/p>\n

\nJennifer added: “Just louder!”<\/p>\n

\nThe beloved show also starred Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) and the late Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing).<\/p>\n

\nLisa admitted that while she went through a long period having never seen most of the iconic episodes, she has started to correct her mistake.<\/p>\n

\nShe explained: “[I] loved it with all my heart. I\u2019d end up sitting there for three hours, and then it\u2019s like two in the morning: ‘I need to go to bed! This is bad!’<\/p>\n

\n“But, oh, it made me so happy to watch it. And, man, you\u2019re all good. Holy cow! You were really good, Jennifer. It\u2019s such a ridiculous thing to say to people! Like, of course.”<\/p>\n

\nJennifer recalled that “in the very, very beginning” of the show’s 10-season run, which started in 1994, the cast would get together to watch the show, but Lisa noted it wasn’t a habit she kept up on her own.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “It was really fun. And then we got busy. There were whole episodes that I hadn\u2019t seen.<\/p>\n

\n“I just couldn\u2019t sit there at home and have anybody walk by seeing me watching a show that I\u2019m in. Because it felt embarrassing to me.”<\/p>\n
