Jennifer Aniston was interviewed by Quinta Brunson for Variety’s Actors on Actors series. During the interview, Aniston was asked about re-watching “Friends,” the hit NBC sitcom she starred in from 1994-2004 alongside Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Courteney Cox.
When asked about re-watching “Friends,” Aniston became visibly emotional, tearing up and requesting a tissue. This emotional transaction was likely triggered by the recent passing of her co-star Matthew Perry, who died unexpectedly on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54.
Aniston’s emotional response was accounted for by taking a moment to collect herself, wiping her eyes, and reassuring Brunson that she was okay. This emotional transaction was ultimately resolved with Aniston making a joke about turning 30, coinciding with the show’s 30th anniversary.
