Jennifer Aniston took some time at the top of her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night to remember the late Kris Kristofferson, who died over the weekend.
Aniston directed Kristofferson in her first short film, 2006’s Room 10, for which she recruited him to star alongside Robin Wright.
“Surprisingly, when we asked him, he said yes,” Aniston recalled. “It was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever had.”
She added of his performance in the film, “He broke our hearts; he was extraordinary.”
The two worked together again in 2009’s He’s Just Not That Into You, in which Kristofferson played Aniston’s onscreen father.
“He came to my 40th birthday party, his wife and he flew in,” Aniston said of her bond with the late musician and actor. “He’s a lovely man. It’s a huge loss.”
Aniston also revealed that Kristofferson was a Friends fan, recalling that when she asked him to be in her short, his wife said they had been watching the NBC sitcom.
“They were shooting some movie in some foreign land, and I was so excited to meet him, and he’d been watching Friends, and we both had this moment. It was adorable,” she said.
Later in the appearance, to promote her children’s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, Aniston weighed in on some rumors about herself, revealing whether or not they were true.
