<p>Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-aniston-posts-heartfelt-tribute-to-matthew-perry-rest-little-brother" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> said in a recent interview that she texted with Matthew Perry the day he died — and that he had seemed to be doing well and was working hard to get healthy and get in shape.</p>
<p>Aniston made the comments during a <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jennifer-aniston-reese-witherspoon-the-morning-show-season-3-1235829651/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint interview</a> that was published Monday by entertainment site Variety — her first since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/five-remaining-friends-break-their-silence-on-the-unfathomable-loss-of-matthew-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Perry&#8217;s death</a> on October 28th — with &#8220;The Morning Show&#8221; co-star Reese Witherspoon.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know,&#8221; Aniston said of her late &#8220;Friends&#8221; costar. &#8220;I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aniston said several times during the interview that Perry, who had spent decades — and millions of dollars — battling addictions to alcohol and Vicodin, had really been working hard and was in a good place for the first time in a long time.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one,&#8221; Aniston continued. &#8220;I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard &#8230; His way of speaking created a whole different world. We went with his lead, in a way. It just added something to our joy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Witherspoon also recalled her brief stint on the decade-running smash sitcom — two episodes in which she played the spoiled, bratty sister Jill to Aniston&#8217;s Rachel — and said that she had been blown away by the talent and cohesiveness of the entire cast.</p>

<p>&#8220;You all were so close. It’s incredible what was born of those friendships, and how you guys have always taken care of each other for years and years. It’s really beautiful and set standards for our business, as well, with the way you respected each other,&#8221; Witherspoon said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel lucky that I got to be on that show and I walked in like Alice in Wonderland, watching the most popular cast do this whole thing. I remember going home and going, oh, they’re in another league. They’re on another planet on comedy levels that I’ve never seen my entire life, pivoting on a dime and working on each other’s energy and it was extraordinary,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Perry died on October 28th after reportedly drowning in the hot tub at his California home. He was 54 years old.</p>

<p>&#8220;Friends&#8221; star David Schwimmer shared a photo of himself with his late costar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-one-where-our-hearts-are-broken-castmates-show-creators-mourn-loss-of-friends-actor-matthew-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a>, saying that he imagined his friend taking stock of heaven in Chandler Bing fashion: &#8220;Could there BE any more clouds?&#8221;</p>
<p>Schwimmer was the fourth of the remaining five core cast members to post a personal tribute to Perry, who passed away late last month at the age of 54. He shared a photo from a flashback episode of the popular sitcom — which featured him and Perry in the 1980s, dressed to look like characters from &#8220;Miami Vice&#8221; — along with a caption remembering his friend.</p>

<p>&#8220;Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity,&#8221; Schwimmer began. &#8220;I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;This photo is from one of my favorite moments with you. Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schwimmer concluded with hope, saying that he imagined Perry in heaven, taking stock of his new surroundings in the way that only he could: &#8220;I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around— &#8216;Could there BE any more clouds?'&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She next referenced the “Friends” crew, who also included David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and Matt LeBlanc. “We were always the 6 of us,” she continued. “This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aniston went on, “For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn&#8217;t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain,” her post concluded. “I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?’ Rest little brother. You always made my day…”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As part of her tribute, Aniston shared a black and white photo of herself sitting with Perry and laughing. She also posted a screenshot of their text conversation referencing the photo with a quote from her late friend that said, “Making you laugh just made my day.”</span></p>

Jennifer Aniston Posts Heartfelt Tribute To Matthew Perry: 'Rest Little Brother'

Death

<p>Actor Matt LeBlanc was the first of the remaining five &#8220;Friends&#8221; to offer a personal tribute to his on-screen buddy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-one-where-our-hearts-are-broken-castmates-show-creators-mourn-loss-of-friends-actor-matthew-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a>, who died last month at the age of 54 in an apparent drowning at his California home.</p>
<p>LeBlanc shared several photos of himself with Perry — and one that also included castmates Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jewish-friends-star-marks-somber-one-month-anniversary-of-october-7-hamas-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Schwimmer</a>, and Lisa Kudrow — in the New York City apartment they shared for much of the popular sitcom&#8217;s run.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,&#8221; LeBlanc captioned the post on Instagram. &#8220;It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love,&#8221; he concluded with a joke: &#8220;And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I saw him yesterday. I love that guy! I can not see him for five years and then get in a room together and still have that shorthand with each other,&#8221; LeBlanc said of Perry during a 2016 <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2016081132923/matt-leblanc-friends-star-closest-matthew-perry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>. &#8220;It’s amazing, really.

Friends – Season 2

Matt LeBlanc Says Goodbye To Matthew Perry In Touching Personal Tribute

<p>The five remaining &#8220;Friends&#8221; spoke out on Monday in a joint statement following the sudden death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/friends-star-matthew-perry-dead-at-54-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a>, 54, who reportedly drowned in his hot tub on Saturday.</p>
<p>David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc released a <a href="https://people.com/matthew-perry-friends-costars-speak-out-after-his-death-exclusive-8384107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to PEOPLE on Monday, expressing their profound grief at the loss of their longtime <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-one-where-our-hearts-are-broken-castmates-show-creators-mourn-loss-of-friends-actor-matthew-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast-mate</a> and real-life friend.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.&#8221;</p>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-6" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">&#8220;In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>
<p>The show&#8217;s co-creators — Marta Kauffman and David Crane — also released a joint statement alongside executive producer Kevin Bright, saying that Perry was &#8220;brilliant&#8221; and &#8220;beloved.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend Matthew’s passing. It still seems impossible. All we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives. He was a brilliant talent,&#8221; they wrote, adding, &#8220;It’s a cliche to say that an actor makes a role their own, but in Matthew’s case, there are no truer words. From the day we first heard him embody the role of Chandler Bing, there was no one else for us.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We send all of our love to his family and friends. This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken,&#8221; they concluded, adding a nod to the series tradition of naming episodes &#8220;The One Where &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Perry spent much of 2022 doing interviews along with the release of his memoir, &#8220;Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/matthew-perry-had-one-wish-about-how-hed-be-remembered-it-had-nothing-to-do-with-friends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During one such interview</a> he said that rather than his accomplishments as an actor, he&#8217;d prefer to be remembered for the things he did to help the people around him — particularly those who struggled as he had for much of his life with addiction.</p>

Five Remaining 'Friends' Break Their Silence On The 'Unfathomable Loss' Of Matthew Perry

Courtney Cox

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> said she&#8217;s tired of &#8220;cancel culture&#8221; during a recent interview, suggesting that she would probably be canceled for saying so.</p>
<p>The 54-year-old actress spoke to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/style/jennifer-aniston-morning-show-season-3-59413d2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> and explained that while she wasn&#8217;t personally harassed by disgraced movie mogul <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disgraced-movie-mogul-harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-rape-in-los-angeles-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvey Weinstein</a>, she doesn&#8217;t put everyone who has done something wrong in the same &#8220;basket.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I probably just got canceled by saying that,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;I just don&#8217;t understand what it means &#8230; Is there no redemption? I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Friends&#8221; alum went on to recall how Weinstein made people feel nervous and one time she was in her trailer on the set of a movie and he showed up to pitch her something.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s not a guy, you’re like, &#8216;God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey [Weinstein],'&#8221; the superstar actress said. &#8220;Never. You were actually like, &#8216;Oh, God, OK, suck it up.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Weinstein was at the center of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/toto-hollywood-and-total-collapse-metoo-christian-toto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#MeToo movement</a> in 2017 after numerous stars accused him of sexual misconduct.

<p>Unsealed court documents revealed an email Weinstein wrote in 2017 said, &#8220;Jen Aniston should be killed.&#8221; It was in response to a media inquiry into allegations that Weinstein had allegedly groped the &#8220;Murder Mystery&#8221; star.</p>
<p>At the time, a rep for Aniston told Variety the &#8220;claims are false. Jennifer has not been harassed or assaulted by Harvey.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston">Jennifer Aniston</a> revealed that the backhanded compliment she often gets – people praising her for how good she looks for her age – drives her &#8220;bananas.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 54-year-old actress&#8217;s interview with <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/jennifer-aniston-exercise-routine">British Vogue</a>, the &#8220;Friends&#8221; star said one thing she &#8220;can&#8217;t stand&#8221; is when someone says to her, &#8220;You look great for your age.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It drives me bananas, I can&#8217;t stand it,&#8221; Aniston said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a habit of society that we have these markers like, &#8216;Well, you&#8217;re at that stage, so for your age …&#8217; I don&#8217;t even understand what it means,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m in better shape than I was in my 20s,&#8221; Aniston continued. &#8220;I feel better in mind, body and spirit. It&#8217;s all 100 percent better.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Horrible Bosses&#8221; star said people in her family live to be very old and longevity means more to her than just being alive.</p>
<p>&#8220;My family lives a long time, especially my dad&#8217;s side,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;I want to be thriving; I don&#8217;t want to just be alive.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/jennifer-aniston-rethink-view-aging-society-expiration-dates-on-ourselves-120031110.html">2021 interview</a> with Yahoo Life, the actress said her approach to self-care herself has changed over the years, admitting that, now that she is older, she realizes she took a lot of things for granted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve now become more aware,&#8221; Aniston said. &#8220;We take so much for granted when we&#8217;re in our 20s and 30s, when self-care is like, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;ll sleep when I&#8217;m 80.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No. You need to sleep now,&#8221; she added. &#8220;You need to start meditating now. You need to be mindful now. If you don&#8217;t incorporate that into your body at a young age, it shows. I look at my older relatives and I see them aging. Universally, every single human being, we can&#8217;t get away from it. We are all growing older no matter what, but we don&#8217;t have to grow sick. We don&#8217;t have to grow old and not be thriving.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later in the interview, Aniston talked about how she feels society should change its views when it comes to aging.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like, alright, you&#8217;re this age, so now this is the time when you go off to pasture because you actually are of no use to us anymore, to society,&#8221; Aniston said.  &#8220;I think we need to stop putting ages next to people&#8217;s names. I&#8217;ve never understood that. I’d much rather my height! It&#8217;s like we’re a carton of milk with an expiration date[,] and I think we need to figure out how to re-message all of that&#8230;&#8221;</p>


Jennifer Aniston Reveals Backhanded Compliment She Gets That Drives Her ‘Bananas’

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> recently revealed that she spent her first “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/friends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends</a>” paycheck on a car she’d been eyeing for a while, but it turned out to be a total “lemon.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 54-year-old actress made the comments while speaking with Popsugar alongside Adam Sandler as they promoted their new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">movie</a>, “Murder Mystery 2.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I do remember my first big splurge was on a Mercedes that had a for sale sign on it for almost two years,” she </span><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@popsugar/video/7216857557510524202" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of choosing a vintage vehicle to celebrate her big payday. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aniston recalled frequently passing the car while driving along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. “I was always like ‘I can’t wait. Someday,’” she continued. The “Morning Show” actress said she paid the full asking price for the car but almost immediately realized why it hadn’t been scooped up by someone else.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I bought it. And then I drove it. And then I drove it again and it never drove again,” Aniston said. “It was a lemon.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I didn’t know any better to get it checked out,” she added. “That was just a nice 25-year-old mistake.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The celebrity had previously told a version of this story on InStyle&#8217;s podcast, &#8220;Ladies First with Laura Brown,&#8221; in 2021.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was on La Cienega and where Fred Segal is on Melrose &#8230; There was always this Mercedes, this 270 SL Mercedes,&#8221; Aniston said at the time. </span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;[It] sat forever, saying &#8216;for sale&#8217; on it for like two years. And I remember thinking, &#8216;Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if I could buy that car one day? &#8230; And then the first year of ‘Friends’ happened and I was like, &#8216;You know what, I&#8217;m going to buy that antique car, &#8217;cause I&#8217;ve always loved that car.&#8217; I can&#8217;t remember how much it was. It might&#8217;ve been like $13,000.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It got me home,” Aniston said. “And then I don&#8217;t even actually think I made it home right before it just went like [noise]. So, it might&#8217;ve honestly just been the shell of a car, and I was the sucker to finally purchase it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress recently made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-aniston-says-a-whole-generation-of-people-think-friends-is-offensive-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headlines</a> for acknowledging how modern audiences sometimes take issue with episodes of “Friends.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” she told the Associated Foreign Press. “There were things that were never intentional and others … well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved. Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jennifer Aniston</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> says that modern audiences take issue with some of the jokes on the classic hit NBC comedy “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/friends"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Friends</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The iconic series premiered in 1994 during a very different time. “There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” Aniston told the Associated Foreign Press, per </span><a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/jennifer-aniston-friends-offensive-new-generations-1234823537/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">IndieWire</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There were things that were never intentional and others … well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now,” the 54-year-old star continued. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comedy"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comedy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has evolved, movies have evolved,” Aniston added. “Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Murder Mystery 2” actress went on to say how mockery was more tolerated back when the series was on TV. The last episode of &#8220;Friends&#8221; aired in 2004.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You could joke about a bigot and have a laugh. That was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were, and now we’re not allowed to do that,” she said. “Everybody needs funny! The world needs humor! We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making politically incorrect jokes isn&#8217;t the only controversy surrounding “Friends.” Series co-creator Marta Kauffman apologized for a lack of “diversity” in the series, specifically because the six main cast members were all white.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve learned a lot in the last 20 years,” Kauffman said of only casting black actors in small parts. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know better 25 years ago.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She went on to pledge $4 million to aid black students at her alma mater, Brandeis University, as a form of atonement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism,” she said at the time. “I’ve been working really hard to become an ally, an anti-racist. And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white woman’s perspective.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kauffman also apologized for “misgendering” a character’s trans-identifying father during one of the episodes. “We kept referring to [Helena] as ‘Chandler’s father,’ even though Chandler’s father was trans,” she </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/next-on-the-friends-apology-tour-co-creator-regrets-misgendering-chandlers-dad"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Pronouns were not yet something that I understood, so we didn’t refer to that character as ‘she.’ That was a mistake.” </span></p>

Political Correctness

<p>&#8220;Friends&#8221; actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> is blaming Vogue Magazine for taking away her ability to mock &#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; costar and friend Adam Sandler.</p>
<p>Aniston explained during a Monday appearance on &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; with Jimmy Fallon that she used to chide Sandler — whom she&#8217;s known since she was just 20 years old — about his questionable fashion choices, but ever since Vogue named the &#8220;Happy Gilmore&#8221; star a &#8220;fashion icon,&#8221; her criticisms just don&#8217;t carry the weight that they used to.</p>
<p>The actress went on to describe a dinner in Italy with Sandler and his wife Jackie, noting that Jackie had been dressed up for the occasion and Sandler had been emphatically casual.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jackie looked beautiful in an eyelet dress. Her hair was done, and he shows up in basketball shorts,&#8221; Aniston explained. &#8220;Satin basketball shorts with white piping and Nike high tops. And turquoise velour Izod that had no relationship.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Vogue said I was amazing like this,’” Aniston continued. &#8220;So thanks, Vogue.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the &#8220;We&#8217;re the Millers&#8221; star, the comedian often <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/22/jennifer-aniston-says-adam-sandler-slam-her-dates-what/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got his jabs in</a> as well — usually with regard to whoever she happened to be dating at the time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, if I get anything from him, it&#8217;s &#8216;What are you doing?’” she intoned. &#8220;Usually based on someone I&#8217;m dating. &#8216;What are you doing? What&#8217;s wrong with you?’”</p>
<p>Despite the good-natured ribbing, Aniston and Sandler have <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/adam-sandler-jennifer-aniston-murder-mystery-b2305671.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">been friendly</a> since they first met at Los Angeles eatery Jerry&#8217;s Famous Deli — when she was 20 and he was 22 — and when they work together on films like the upcoming &#8220;Murder Mystery 2,&#8221; she often has to force him to take care of himself.</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does but he doesn&#8217;t take care of himself,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;I have a little arsenal of herbs in my trailer and I make him smoothies when I can and give him all sorts of Chinese herbs when he is exhausted. I&#8217;m like the mobile pharmacy. Yeah, I&#8217;m the set medic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; is set for a <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15255288/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 31 streaming release</a> on Netflix.</p>

<p>&#8220;Sweet papa …⁣ John Anthony Aniston,&#8221; the actress captioned a photo of a young John Aniston holding her as a baby. ⁣&#8221;You were one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew. I am so grateful that you went soaring into the heavens in peace — and without pain. And on 11/11 no less! You always had perfect timing. That number will forever hold an even greater meaning for me now 🕊️I’ll love you till the end of time💔⁣Don’t forget to visit.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Days of Our Lives&#8221; executive producer Ken Corday <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/days-lives-john-aniston-dies-184640177.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a statement</a> confirming the loss as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of one of our own — our beloved and legendary cast member and dear friend, John Aniston. It is truly unimaginable to think he won’t be stepping foot on our set again, but it’s comforting to all of us to know that he is at rest and no longer in pain. John was one of the best — kind, smart, witty and incredibly talented,&#8221; Corday wrote of his longtime star. &#8220;It is enormously fitting that he received the Emmy for Lifetime Achievement this past year. There is no question that all of us at Days will be mourning this great and profound loss. John was an icon, but even more so, he was a pillar of strength and unity for our Days of our Lives community. He, along with our Victor Kiriakis, will forever be in our hearts. Our love and support goes out to his family and all those who knew him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fellow soap star Kyle Brandt also paid his respects, saying, &#8220;John Aniston was my TV dad for over 3 years. I was nervous. He was kind. And so, so funny. He is missed.&#8221;</p>
