It is no secret the actress fancied the actor for quite a long time but nothing even ended up happening. The two became very good friends instead and has nothing but praise for each other, but this one time, Aniston crossed her limit. Turns out, the actress who portrayed Rachel Green for years was often fashionably late way beyond her call time, dragging in the whole production for the day behind the schedule along with her. And thus, the cast and crew had to have an intervention.
There is no doubt that Aniston is one of the finest actors in the industry, but this bad habit of hers made her suffer quite a lot along with the people around her. The Collider further reported on the matter and how the “intervention” went down.

David Schwimmer Was Fed up With Jennifer Aniston’s Bad Habit
Being great friends with Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer decided to initiate ‘the talk’. Aniston’s bad habit of coming late to the set almost every day, not only bothered her co-stars but hampered the production as well. The shoot would have to wait for her to arrive, which Schwimmer thought was a little unfair to the other actors who reached the set on time. After the actor broke the ice, everyone else in the cast chimed in with Lisa Kudrow politely stating, “You’ve had bad luck getting to work.”
The Collider source also reported on the matter stating,
“Her bad habit was getting a little too annoying for the cast and crew because it was interfering with the schedule they had to follow.”
Although Aniston had no intention of making the filming process more challenging than necessary, there were not many people who were able to just stand by and watch without speaking up. But, it seemed to have worked in the end since it was smooth sailing after that.

The on-screen duo were in a bit of a similar situation off-screen. Although they have time and again shut down any rumors of them ever dating, they have admitted that the two were crushing hard on one another while shooting for FRIENDS. The duo then talked about it in detail, in the much anticipated 2021 reunion. As the six friends gather once again, Schwimmer revealed,
“The first season I had a major crush on Jen,–I think we both, at some point, were crushing hard on each other.”
He then further reinstated, that their feelings for each other never took a concert shape. The star continued saying,
“It was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship, and we never crossed that boundary,”
Instead, they channeled their passion and seamlessly translated it onto the screen, which made it even more enjoyable for the viewers. Whatever followed after that, was magic, as the perfect unison between the two captured the millions of hearts all over the world and contributed to the show’s huge success.
