David Schwimmer had an awkward encounter with a legendary celebrity while working as a teenager.
During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 58-year-old actor revealed that he “did a lot of bananas work” in his younger days, one of which was with musician Rod Stewart. It is said that this led to an encounter.
“One summer after my freshman year of college, I was just looking for a job and my mom said, 'Well, you can be my process server,'” he recalls. “My mom was a divorce lawyer, and I was the kind of person who would jump out of the bushes and file divorce papers.”
The actor recalled feeling like James Bond, receiving information about where the person was and going to look for them.

“Once, oh, I worked for Rod Stewart, although thankfully I've never seen him since,” the “Friends” star said with a laugh. “I don't even know if he knows. I don't think he knows.”
“He already knows,” Colbert joked, adding that if they ever ran into each other in the future, “I know he's going to punch me.”
It is unclear who he divorced from, but Stewart was married to Alana Stewart from 1979 to 1984, and then to Rachel Hunter from 1990 to 2006. He is currently married to Penny Lancaster, whom he married in 2007.

In this latest film, Schwimmer plays a divorced father of two who takes a break from his career as a botanist to care for his mother, who suffers from dementia. Along the way, he finds himself caring for twins and conducting research in his homemade laboratory.
“I've always been a fan of horror, especially horror-action comedy. This genre is so exciting to me,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in January. “I'm a real fan, but I've never been asked to do it.”
“Once, oh, thankfully I've never seen him since, but I was working for Rod Stewart. I don't even know if he knows. I don't think he knows.”
This project not only marks Schwimmer's first appearance on a horror show, but also the beginning of a new chapter for him.
Schwimmer famously played a father of two during his tenure on Friends, and the show gives him the opportunity to explore what it's like to be a father to teenagers on screen. .
