Yahoo News Jennifer Aniston Jokes She Doesn't 'Have Time' to Keep Up with Rumors About Herself
Jennifer Aniston isn’t about to entertain all of the weird rumors she’s heard over the years.
The actress guest hosted The Ellen DeGeneres Show for close pal Ellen DeGeneres on Friday where she played the popular game “Burning Questions.” Aniston was joined by comedian Will Ferrell when the two went through a series of questions they had to quickly answer before hitting a buzzer.
The two answered fun questions like, “Who was your first kiss?” and, “What’s your favorite body part?” before a more intriguing one came up.
“What’s the weirdest rumor you’ve heard about yourself?” Aniston read the question.
“That I died in a hang-gliding accident. True story,” Ferrell said. “I had to call my parents and say that it didn’t happen.”
But Aniston didn’t even bother with the question.
“What’s the weirdest— I don’t have time for this,” Aniston said, immediately hitting the buzzer for the next question.
The actress has been at the center of a fair share of rumors throughout her career, especially about her dating life. The latest came after she reunited with ex-husband Brad Pitt at the 2020 SAG Awards.
The two exes greeted each other warmly backstage at the Screen Actors Guild awards show Sunday after each had won a SAG Award in their respective category — Pitt, 56, for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Aniston, 50, for her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.
Days later, Pitt also admitted he had no clue about all the attention the reunion brought.
“I don’t know. I’m blissfully naïve and I’m gonna stay that way,” Pitt told Entertainment Tonight of the online frenzy that ensued once the photos surfaced.
