In 2019, Pitt opened up about his guest appearance on Access and his love for the Friends actors.
“Great cast, man,” he said. ‘I mean, they laughed and really had a great time together.’

Even though Aniston and Pitt broke up more than 16 years ago, the pair seem to still be good friends and are often seen congratulating and greeting each other at award ceremonies.
During an appearance at the 77th Golden Globe Awards last year, Pitt told Entertainment Tonight about the possibility of a conflict with his ex-wife: “I will see Jen. She is a good friend.”
The actor then joked that their meeting would be her ‘second most important reunion of the year’, referencing her Friends reunion which was postponed from October 2020 to this month.
