Jennifer Aniston has proved her versatility and brilliant acting skills throughout her career. But just like any other actor, she also did not know how to portray all the characters she got to play. So, like every other actor, she also asked for help whenever she needed it. And the person who helped her was none other than her ex-husband and Hollywood heartthrob, Brad Pitt.

Once, when the 54-year-old actress was preparing to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in 2001, she asked for help from her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, which proved to be extremely helpful.

Jennifer Aniston received the most crisp and helpful advice from Brad Pitt

To portray the characters with as much authenticity as the actors can, they always study them deeply. Aniston also did the same when she was going to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in Rock Star in 2001. During her interview with Rolling Stone the same year, the Murder Mystery actress revealed she asked Brad Pitt how might play her role in the film. The Oscar-winning actor has only two words for her, “Be Sting.”

What he meant was the way Sting never tried to be anything and remained effortlessly charming. In other words, Brad Pitt advised Jennifer Aniston to just relax and go ahead with her instincts. While it took the actress a second to grasp the meaning of what Pitt said, she agreed to follow his lead. However, despite the hard work of all the actors and the entire team, the movie could not impress the audience.

Nevertheless, it certainly helped the Cake star in approaching her character and absorbing the essence. Meanwhile, despite having been there for each other, Hollywood’s once hot couple starred only once together.

Where did the Friends actress and Brad Pitt appear on screen together?

The duo stayed together throughout 2000 to 2005 before parting ways. When they split, there was severe drama around the couple’s relationship. But despite helping each other throughout their journey together, they both never starred in movies together. However, Brad Pitt did appear in one of the episodes of the NBC sitcom, Friends, when they were still a couple.

In season 8, episode 9, The One with the Rumor, Brad Pitt starred as Will Colbert, who still hated Rachel Green from high school. This was the only time during their married life, the now ex-couple appeared together on the big screen. So, after their separation, when Aniston appeared on The Ellen Show, she opened up about how she dealt with the ending of Friends and divorce.
