Aniston agreed and said, “I know. How funny. The movie stars that came on Friends. Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts. Isabella Rossellini. We had so many — Sean Penn. They were always nervous. Remember?… I was so surprised by that.”
Pitt appeared in Season 8 Episode 9, titled “The One with the Rumor,” as Will Colbert. He strongly disliked Rachel Green, and alongside Ross, he helped create the “I Hate Rachel Green Club.” He even spread a major rumor about her. It became one of the show’s most memorable episodes.

Now, years later, Aniston has recently been linked to wellness coach Jim Curtis. Pitt is said to be in a relationship with Ines de Ramon. Aniston’s comments offered fans a rare look back at their time during the height of Friends’ popularity.
