"The show was a phenomenon and I was in the very last episode, which made no sense to me whatsoever. I was on the sound stage and Jennifer Aniston was crying and I thought, 'I'm not supposed to be here,'" he explained. "So, to break the ice, I went over and said, 'Well, we did it! What a ride!' The joke inevitably fell flat."
It appears the actor likes to book-end life experiences because he shared another cringeworthy moment with Aniston on his first day filming the NBC comedy. "I was on the set for my first episode and Jennifer was on a Segway because she had broken her toe, and everyone was marveling at it," he began. "Matt LeBlanc asked to have a go and immediately knew how to do it. I then asked to try it, too.""I spun round and rolled it right over Jennifer’s foot! The producers look of panic was if to say, 'Is it too late to fire him? Has his character been established yet?' I felt awful," he said.
But the damage must not have been irreparable as Rudd and Aniston would go on to star as a couple in the 2012 film "Wanderlust"."It was an incredible thing to be part of and the whole experience, but seems a bit surreal and a bit of a blur in my memory,” Rudd said of his time on the show.
