Over the years, Brad Pitt has established himself as one of the most versatile personalities in Hollywood. He has played many characters and gained a lot of recognition for them. However, he does not forget his roots and has often starred in smaller roles for various reasons.

One of his most well-known cameos has to be on FRIENDS. He famously appeared in the iconic series briefly in the eighth season. The reason for his limited appearance was that he was involved with Jennifer Anniston at the time.

However, many may not know that the actor refused to support the actress in one of the most emotional moments of her career.

Brad Pitt Had His Priorities

FRIENDS has been one of the biggest phenomena in Hollywood ever since it began to air. It has a massive fan following from all generations, and this is not surprising considering just how iconic the series is. It created a new wave of sitcoms, revolutionizing comedy as a whole, and its influence can still be felt in the shows that are released today.

With this, it is not surprising that someone as high-profile as Brad Pitt was also a very big fan of the series. During the filming and release of the final season of the series, the actor and Rachel Green actress, Jennifer Aniston, were married to each other. However, it would seem that he prioritized the fan side of himself

Being one of the lead actresses of the series, it is not surprising that Aniston was emotional on her final days on the set of the hit series. Despite this, Pitt refused to be by her side during the difficult time because he was also a fan of the show.

On top of making an appearance as Will Colbert in season eight of FRIENDS, Brad Pitt was also a very big fan of the series. So much so, that he did not want the finale ruined for him, even though his wife was going to star in it. The days leading up to the end of the show are always emotional, and the Jennifer Aniston series was no different.

Writer David Crane once gave an interview (via New York Post), where he revealed that even though Aniston asked him to come to set for the finale, Brad Pitt refused. His reasoning for such treason was quite simple; he did not want to spoil the ending of the series before it even aired. He also told his wife not to tell him anything about how the show ended for the same reason.
