Reese Witherspoon is without a doubt one of the most endearing Hollywood actresses. From her debut film, The Man in the Moon, in 1991 to her most recent movie, Your Place or Mine, the actress has certainly proven her caliber. The world got to see the funny side of her in the hit sitcom Friends as Rachael Greens’ spoiled sister Jill. Aside from her stellar performance on the sitcom, the actress previously revealed in an interview how the show helped her during her pregnancy.

Pregnancy obviously has its own peculiar set of wants, but Witherspoon’s was rather different.

Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston had a bumpy on-screen relationship, but the actresses are good friends off-screen and a big fan of the sitcom she guest starred in years ago. In 2011, while presenting Aniston with an award at the Elle Women in Hollywood gala, the actress acknowledged how “obsessed” she was with the famous series. She further went on to say that she had recently given birth and that she “would not stop” watching the popular 1994 hit sitcom. Further implying that they were her friends and that they could not be taken away from her.

She went on to say that despite everything, she showed up for work with enthusiasm. But she forgot it was her first time acting on television, which left her in a panicked state. However, Aniston’s presence on the show was extremely beneficial to her. She shared how the Horrible Bosses actress helped her relax and told her to “just be herself.” Thus began a bond that would last decades and lead to their collaboration on The Morning Show.
