Actresses Jennifer Aniston and Mae Whitman recently reunited on Live with Kelly & Ryan in which they reflected on their time together filming the hit television show “Friends” over 26 years ago.
Whitman played a young Sarah Tuttle, who believed Ross was her father, in the episode “The One Where Rachel Finds Out” during the first season of the show.
In the interview, Whitman recalls her experience working on the set and how much of a fan she was of Aniston before working with her. She admits to being incredibly nervous but Aniston was reportedly very welcoming and supportive, which helped to calm her nerves. “I was like, ‘I’m going to go do my job now.’ And then it was just so fun to be able to have those memories forever,” Whitman said.
Aniston, in turn, praised Whitman’s acting talent and shared how impressed she was with the young actress’s ability to perform so well at such a young age. “I remember you were so sweet and you were so excited and you were so talented. And it was like, ‘This kid’s got chops,'” Aniston said to Whitman during the interview.
