How embarrassing it must be to not recognize a person sitting right beside you and turn out to be one of the most famous people! When Steel Panther’s singer, Michael Starr, first met the Friends star, Jennifer Aniston, something like that happened. The singer had a cameo appearance in the actress’s 2001 film. Starr shared the details of his hilarious meeting while promoting his sixth album.

Steel Panther is an American comedic glam metal band from Los Angeles, California. Michael Starr is the lead singer of the band who also briefly appeared in the 2001 film Rock Star. The film stars the Cake actress along with Mark Wahlberg. The band, Steel Panther, released its sixth album, ‘On the Prowl.’ Starr talked with AL.com where he talked about the album, cancel culture, and his meeting with Aniston as well. He revealed he was extremely excited to appear in the film.

Remembering those days, Starr revealed when he first met The Break-Up actress, he did not know it was her. Therefore, he started flirting with her and introduced himself. As soon as the 54-year-old actress told him her name, Starr was stunned. He remembered, “She was talking to Brad Pitt on the phone.” After shaking off the star-struck feeling, the singer went on to shoot his scene with the A-listed actors and enjoyed 3 days of staying with them.

As he remembered his days on the sets of Rock Star, Starr admitted all the actors were really cool. They spent a really nice time together. Although he expressed his unfulfilled wish of spending more time with The Switch actress as well. The actress’s marriage to Brad Pitt at that particular time was the main reason for this.

After splitting from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston had a rough time

The once-hot couple in Hollywood tied the knot in 2000, followed by a divorce in 2005. When Aniston starred in Rock Star, she was still married to the Babylon actor. However, when the Murder Mystery actress appeared on The Ellen Show, she opened up about how devastating it was for her to deal with the divorce.

Soon after Friends ended, she separated from her now ex-husband. The American actress admitted she was in depression and went into therapy as well. However, currently, the Just Go with It actress is doing fine and enjoying her life.

Although the Steel Panther is touring around with their beautiful music, Michael Starr just went on a tour of the past while talking about Jennifer Aniston. Have you watched the movie Rock Star?
