Washington, Oct 19 : Reese Witherspoon has revealed that she once turned to Jennifer Aniston for career advice while playing her character's sister on `Friends' more than a decade ago. Witherspoon, 35, toasted her pal at Elle's Annual Women in Hollywood gala on 17th October and recalled a touching moment the two shared together back in 1999, when they were playing sisters. She revealed that she almost lost the chance to appear on `Friends' when she froze on set and had to rely on Aniston to help her pull through. "In all my enthusiasm, I completely forgot something crucial... I had never been on television (or) in front of a live audience ever in my entire life. And I panicked! I totally froze! I couldn't remember my lines and the writers were yelling... I just stood there absolutely completely frozen," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. "(She said,) `Hey, are you OK? You're kind of freaking me out! You're going to make a mistake and you're going to flip your line and whatever - and the audience is going to love it. Don't try to be perfect, just try to be yourself', " she added. "That's the story that sort of captured Jen the best for me. On one hand, she is this gorgeous breathtaking beauty that men lose their thought process and their speech patterns (over). I've actually seen this, it's incredible when they see her. And, on the other hand, she is a woman who lets you in," she added. (ANI)
