Jennifer Aniston Playfully Teases Paul Rudd as an 'Eternal Youth' on His 55th Birthday

Jennifer Aniston wishes Paul Rudd a happy birthday. "I love you, ageless freak!" Aniston shared a clip from their 2012 film Wanderlust, featuring Rudd, 55, killing a fly to the horror of Kathryn Hahn and others. In addition to Wanderlust, the actors also collaborated on The Newton Boys in 1998 and Friends from 2002 to 2004.

Rudd and Aniston first met during Friends and had a rough beginning. "I was on set for my first episode and Jennifer was on a Segway because of a broken toe. Everyone was amazed," he said on The Graham Norton Show in 2019. "Matt LeBlanc tried it and picked it up right away." I asked to try it. He spun around and rolled it over Jennifer's foot. The producers' panic seemed to ask, "Is it too late to fire him? Has his character's reputation been set?" It was an unfortunate beginning.

Rudd shared an awkward moment with Aniston on the finale episode of the popular show. "On the sound stage, I witnessed Jennifer Aniston in tears. Feeling out of place, I approached her with an attempt to lighten the mood by saying, 'We did it, what a journey.' Unfortunately, my jokes didn't land."

Aniston confirmed they were “together when we were, like, 12,” but both have moved on. Rudd married Julie Yaeger in 2003 and they had two children, Jack and Darby, in 2006 and 2010. Aniston married Brad Pitt in 2000, but they separated in 2005. In 2011, Jennifer Aniston started dating Justin Theroux and they got married in August 2015. However, three years later they decided to separate. Aniston shared her upbeat outlook on dating, saying her past marriages were successful but ended when they no longer brought happiness.
