Jennifer Aniston And The Rude Guest

[Blind Gossip] To help promote Friends: The Reunion, Jennifer Aniston recently did an interview on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM.

She told a story about a famous male actor who was very rude when he guest starred on Friends.

[He behaved] as if he was just too above this to be on a sitcom.

During a run through of the show, the network executives and the producers were laughing at the dialog. Apparently, The Guest did not find this funny.

He was like, “Listen to them, just laughing at their own jokes. So stupid, not even funny.”

This negative attitude irritated Jennifer Aniston.

It was just like… what are you doing here? Your attitude… this is not what we’re all about!

This is a wonderful, warm place to be and you’re coming into our home and just sh*tting on it.

Years later, The Guest actually apologized to Aniston for his behavior on the show.

The funny thing is that he did apologize about his behavior years later.

He said, “I was just so nervous, to be honest, that I wasn’t on my best behavior.”

While Howard Stern tried to get Jennifer Aniston to reveal the identity of the actor, Aniston would not.

However, she did make it clear that the actor was not Tom Selleck.

If you are a fan of Friends, you may recall that Tom Selleck played Dr. Richard Burke, the older love interest of Monica Geller, played by Courteney Cox.

By the way, do you know how much the cast of Friends was paid for their one-off reunion show?

They received $2.5 million. Each!

Anyway, who do you think was the rude male guest?

    Gary Oldman is my first choice, I’ve seen him act like that before
    Favorite episode: When Chandler quit smoking and listened to tapes in his sleep; he didn’t know they were for women, as he got progressively more feminine

    Guessing Sean Penn because he seems like such a humorless guy.

    Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin had both been on comedic tv shows, so I don’t think they’d find it insulting to be guest starring on one. Well, except that Bruce might have griped because he had to appear due to losing a bet. But I still think it was Sean Penn.

    • Hardball71 says

      How or why are folks guessing Sheen or Alexander? Both did sitcoms in their own right. Sounds more like a drama fueled thespian type.

  7. Dewey23 says

    My guess is Alec Baldwin. He’s petty like that. In his memoir, he mentioned how reluctant he was about TV show, goes on & on about how the cast was a tight unit. He also used to crib about, 30 Rock season 5 wasn’t up to standards. Wanted to quit.
    I guess Hilary’s real life drama is of his standard.

  8. Nayilem says

    I’m guessing Ben Stiller.
    Guess he apopolgized “years later” when she starred with him in “Along Came Polly”

  13. blubelle says

    Plenty of jerky candidates to choose from, but I’m gonna say Fisher Stevens given that he recently admitted it himself.

  14. Braains says

    I wonder if it’s Stern show’s frequent troll Michael Rapaport? He had been doing mostly movies at that point.

    • parkland45 says

      Heh…I have to agree with the mystery guest. The dialogue *wasn’t* funny. It was, IMO, more like immature middle school chit chat. I tried quite a few times to watch it but finally gave up.

  16. jrgius says

    Rude perhaps, but IMO the show wasn’t very funny, chuckles but never a belly laugh for me.

  17. spoofbyrd says

    Well I cheated on this and looked up the lists & an obvious guess would be Anniston’s old flame Brad Pitt or maybe Charlie Sheen during his Tiger Blood phase . However , I am going to guess it is either Bruce Willis or Ben Stiller . They both have been known to let that ego get out of control on and off set and exhibit some major

  21. squarepeggy says

    Charlie Sheen. Or Gary Oldman.
    So many faves… unagi, they dont know we know, Pitt..

  22. redbus says

    i’m going to guess charlton heston. most of the other actors are comedians.. or maybe this is ben stiller, he’s a bit of a headcase from what i’ve heard.

  28. EmilyLou says

    Im thinking it’s either Sean Penn or Bruce Willis. Im going to guess Sean Penn.

  31. ohiknowthis says

    Wasn’t Bruce Willis on there as a guest. I could totally see it being him.

    They made a lot of money off that show and I never really liked it. I heard the reunion sucked too .

    I am rooting for Mathew Perry to get it together.

  35. Amandavt70 says

    Fisher Stevens, Michelle Pfeiffer’s ex, he did say he acted like a complete jerk.

  37. CheetoFingerz says

    Rude Guest – Bruce Willis

    My Favorite Episode was the last one when they left the keys on the counter.
    I wasn’t a major fan when it originally aired. however, I appreciate it more now in reruns.

  42. redstilettos says

    Trying to think of male guests who were only on once over the years. Charlie Sheen was there. Maybe him?

    Obviously not this person, but didn’t Chrissy Hynde badmouth the show after guesting on it?

  43. TeaDrinker says

    I’m getting strong Alec Baldwin vibes from this one. Sure enough, when I looked it up, he appeared in 2 epsiodes. Then again…he was on a tv show before his appearance. I may have to rethink my guess.

  46. HistFicAuthor says

    The way she talks it sounds like someone who was only in one episode, which brings either Alec Baldwin or Charlie Sheen to mind, but obviously neither are against doing sitcoms. Billy Crystal and Robin Williams are huge movie stars, but seemed to have had a ton of fun on their episode. Paul Rudd doesn’t have it in him to be a jerk and they were already friends. I know Kathleen Turner didn’t love her time on set but JA specifically says “he”. And it obviously wasn’t Brad Pitt. Gary Oldman?

  49. velmasboytoy says

    Rude guest: I love Gary Oldman, but I bet it was him.
    Favorite episode: The one where Joey and Rachel read each other’s favorite books –The Shining and Little Women, respectively. Joey says to Rachel with a teary voice, “Beth is sick, and I don’t think she’s going to make it!”
    2nd Fave: “Pivot!”

  54. silence1534 says

    Bruce Willis.

    He started on TV, but was a bonafide movie star by then and only came on the show because he lost a bet to Matthew Perry while they were filing The Whole Nine Yards.

  55. gailpow says

    Brad Pitt, who apologized to Jen and then promptly asked her out on a date and the rest is history!

  62. JoshuaTree says

    This has to be Sean Penn. He’s completely humorless. Guest starred as Phoebe’s boyfriend.

  63. Whisper says

    Guessing:
    John Stamos (knew an actress that said he was a creep to her)
    Alec Baldwin
    Charlie Sheen
    Sean Penn
    Jon Favreau

    The Rude Guest: Charlie Sheen

    [Optional] What was your favorite episode or scene from Friends? There were so many! It truly was an incredible show. Monica’s head in the turkey, Ross finding out about Monica and Chandler, Rachel finding out about Ross filling in for her prom date, any time Phoebe sang…

  69. JenLTX says

    Bruce Willis, no question. He’s notorious for being a complete a-hole on set, and I absolutely see him being a total jerk with them. I never did understand why the hell he 1) was asked to guest star, and 2) why he agreed.
