David Schwimmer's Unlikely Encounter with Rod Stewart
David SchwimmerIn recent interviews, David Schwimmer, renowned for his role as Ross Geller on "Friends", opened up about one of his more unusual early jobs, which led to an unexpected brush with celebrity. While appearing on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", Schwimmer revealed that during his college years, he worked as a process server for his mother, a divorce lawyer. This job required him to deliver legal documents notifying recipients of their pending divorce.
Schwimmer humorously recounted how, during his time in this unconventional role, he once had to serve divorce papers to none other than the iconic rockstar Rod Stewart. The actor, now 58, laughed as he shared the memory, noting again that he was only about 18 at the time. "Thank goodness I've never run into him since", Schwimmer mused, admitting he wasn't even sure Stewart knew about the encounter.
Colbert added to the light-hearted tone by joking that Stewart "knows now" and playfully warned Schwimmer to watch out, suggesting Stewart might come looking for him one day for revenge. This anecdote provided a glimpse into the varied and sometimes humorous steps actors take on their way to stardom.
Although Schwimmer couldn’t specify which of Stewart's divorces he was involved in, it's speculated that it was likely related to Stewart's 1984 divorce from his first wife, Alana Stewart. Schwimmer's storytelling not only entertained viewers but also underlined the unpredictable journey that life can offer.
Now a famous actor with a diverse career, Schwimmer can look back on his "banana jobs" with humor and gratitude, as they paved the way to his successful Hollywood career. Currently, he continues to evolve as an actor, starring in the Disney+ series "Goosebumps: The Vanishing", where he embraces new challenges with the same enthusiasm he had as a young process server.
