She continued: “I remember doing Bruce Almighty with Jennifer Aniston. I played her sister. And I had to say, like, the second day we worked together, I’m like, ‘I’m sorry. I never saw Friends.’ “
Elsewhere on the podcast, Walter discussed how she also hadn’t watched Sex and the City when it first aired, though has seen it since, noting that at the time of its original airing, she was starring in her own show, the ABC sitcom Life’s Work, and while juggling being a mother to young children.
“I didn’t have a lot of time. No streaming, by the way,” she added.
Bruce Almighty focused on TV news reporter Bruce (played by Jim Carrey), who questions God after not landing an anchor position — only to have God (Morgan Freeman) let Bruce take on his powers to see if he can handle the responsibilities better. Aniston costarred as his girlfriend Grace, and the cast also included Steve Carell and Philip Baker Hall.
