"Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's hilarious reactions to discovering each other's middle names - 'Who is Laura?'"
In a delightful twist of fate, the friendship between Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, which dates back a quarter-century, has recently taken centre stage once again with their collaboration on the hit Apple TV+ series, "The Morning Show".
The duo's professional relationship began in 2000 when Reese Witherspoon appeared on two episodes of Friends, a role that she described as one of her "scariest moments ever". During this time, Aniston was surprised to learn that Witherspoon's first name is not just "Reese", but Laura Jean, a fact that Witherspoon jokingly started referring to her as "JJ".
Fast forward to 2025, and the pair are back together on the small screen, this time as co-stars on "The Morning Show". To rewatch their earliest interactions from Friends, an HBO Max subscription is required, while to catch up on their latest adventures on "The Morning Show", an Apple TV+ subscription is necessary.
In a fun twist, the two stars played the LADbible's "Do You Even Know Me?" game, where they revealed some interesting facts about each other. It was during this game that Aniston learned that Witherspoon's real first name is Laura Jeanne, although the game did not reveal any specific earlier TV role or character name that Aniston learned about.
Interestingly, Witherspoon's memorable "Rachel" haircut from her Friends days made a comeback in 2000, adding to the nostalgia of their reunion. Since then, Witherspoon has acted in front of a live studio audience exactly zero times.
With new episodes of "The Morning Show" dropping each Wednesday, fans are eagerly awaiting more of the dynamic duo's on-screen chemistry. And for those who missed the season premiere this week, fear not, as it is available to watch with an Apple TV+ subscription.
However, Witherspoon has expressed regret for declining to return to Friends after they asked her to come back. Nevertheless, it seems that she has found a new home on "The Morning Show", and with Aniston by her side, the future looks bright for these two iconic actresses.
