Paul Rudd has revealed that the first time he met Jennifer Aniston on the set of Friends he drove a Segway over her broken toe.
The comic will appear on The Graham Norton Show tonight to talk all things Friends, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Paul then revealed the awkward moment he first met Jennifer, who played Rachel Green.
He told the host: ‘I was on the set for my first episode and Jennifer was on a Segway because she had broken her toe, and everyone was marvelling at it.
‘Matt LeBlanc asked to have a go and immediately knew how to do it. I then asked to try it too. I spun round and rolled it right over Jennifer’s foot.
‘The producers’ look of panic was if to say, “Is it too late to fire him? Has his character been established yet?” I felt awful. Such an inauspicious start.’
Although it wasn’t all bad for Paul because Jennifer clearly forgave him (we think) and he loved every second of his time on the sitcom.
He added: ‘It was an incredible thing to be part of and the whole experience, but seems a bit surreal and a bit of a blur in my memory.
‘The show was a phenomenon and I was in the very last episode, which made no sense to me whatsoever. I was on the sound stage and Jennifer Aniston was crying and I thought, “I’m not supposed to be here,” so to break the ice I went over and said, “Well, we did it, what a ride.” The joke inevitably fell flat!’
On tonight’s show Graham will also welcome rock legend Bruce Springsteen, double Oscar-winner Robert De Niro, actress Sienna Miller, actor and singer songwriter James Blunt.
The Graham Norton Show airs tonight at 10.35pm on BBC One.
