Jennifer Aniston recalls asking for 'actor treats'
Jennifer Aniston has confessed to asking the former president of NBC for "actor treats".
Jennifer Aniston asked the president of NBC for "a washer and a dryer" following the success of Friends.
The 56-year-old actress played Rachel Green on the hit sitcom between 1994 and 2004, and Jennifer has recalled asking Warren Littlefield, the then-president of NBC, for some "actor treats" as a reward for the show's success.
During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast, Jennifer shared: "I said, ‘Will you please give me a washer and a dryer?’ And he wrote that down on a napkin.
"I just kept hearing that all these actors were getting like cars and getting like these things once they got hired. And Friends had happened, and we were, I don’t know, at the upfronts for something, and I was like, ‘Where’s my ... what are all these actors getting these treats for shows and stuff?’"
Jennifer was keen to get her hands on some "very expensive gifts", and her efforts ultimately paid off.
The actress recalled: "[Littlefield] was like, ‘Well, what do you want?’ and I was like, ‘Really?’"
Jennifer is one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but she previously confessed to being terrible at auditions.
The actress admitted that she struggles to find immediate chemistry with a stranger.
Appearing on The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actress Roundtable - which also featured Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Sofia Vegara, Brie Larson, Naomi Watts and Anna Sawai - Jennifer said: "When you're in an audition room, you're already at a disadvantage. Maybe you'd have chemistry with this person if you were in a different environment, and not, like, ‘Create chemistry. Ready? Go!’
"And I'm a terrible auditioner, always was. I waitressed forever before I could finally get something, which was a Bob's Big Boy commercial."
Jennifer also insisted that she would never get intimate with an actor during a chemistry test.
The movie star said: "I haven't been told you're going to have to lay down and [get intimate with an actor for a chemistry test], and if asked, I would never."
