It turns out the Theory Of Everything actor and his wife, Hannah Bagshawe, are massive fans of Friends (who isn’t, eh?). So when they spotted Jen-An wandering around at a swanky party in the US they were totally star struck.
“My wife and I love Friends,” he told Jimmy Kimmel. “We saw Jennifer Aniston at a party and we were just incredibly inappropriate.
“We so wanted to meet her that we sort of literally stalked about four meters behind her for an entire evening. Eventually I think she was like, 'Okay!' [and noticed us]. So we got to meet her and she was as beautiful and wonderful as you'd expect her to be.”
The 33-year-old also admitted that meeting Julia Roberts, when she handed him the Best Actor accolade at the SAF awards was a big moment for him.
He added: “My dad's favourite film is Pretty Woman so as a kid, I think at an inappropriate age, I was watching Pretty Woman.
“So this moment happens when your name gets read out and it's such sort of extraordinary euphoria and it's kind of white noise, it all goes into a sort of blur. Then suddenly, there I was hugging Julia Roberts. And then I was meant to sort of be articulate and all I could think of was, 'I wanna tell my dad! It was amazing.”
Eddie, please never stop being normal. We love you for it.
