During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Myers, Reese Witherspoon shared that she was feeling very nervous before filming "Friends". She acted as Jennifer Aniston's character's sister.
Aniston's advice calmed her. Reese shared, "Oh, my gosh, yeah. So, I was terrified. I was out of my body. I was - My body was there, and then my head and my brain was somewhere else. I just had a baby, yeah. So, that's how I know it was 23 years ago, because, now, my baby is 23, But walking into Central Perk, that main coffee place, and sitting on the couch, I was like, "Oh, my God, I can't believe this is happening. Oh my God, there's Joey. Oh, my God." And then wait, and then Joey said to me "How you doing?" - It was so fun. It was so - I was terrified, but Aniston was so sweet to me. She was like, "They don't care if you mess up. They actually like it better when you mess up".
