If you’re a fan of Friends (and who isn’t), chances are you dreamed a little dream about having Jennifer Aniston and the rest of the gang as your best friends, too.
And if you didn’t, can you even call yourself a fan?
Well, Aussie comedian Joel Creasey almost lived out our life dream when for one brief, shining moment be befriended Jennifer Aniston during an interview.
And then as quickly as it all started, it was over, thanks to Christoph Waltz and a handkerchief full of vomit.
In an interview with KIIS FM’s Will & Woody on Wednesday night, Joel, 27, told a story about when he interviewed Christoph and Jennifer during a press junket for Horrible Bosses 2.
He said he’d been sick the night before with food poisoning, and was still feeling a little green the next day when he went to chat with the film’s stars.
Right before his interview with Christoph, Joel felt the urgent call of nature, and realising there was nowhere for him to throw up, pulled out a handkerchief and “did a little vom in the handkerchief”.
He said things only got worse from there, because not only was he forced to interview the 61-year-old actor with a pocket full of vomit, Christoph was also “super rude” to him.
“I said to him things like, ‘Oh, Christoph. This was such a fun cast! You must have had such a great time on set,'” he said.
“And he goes, ‘Do you not think this is a real job?’ That’s what he said. He goes, ‘This is a real job. How dare you! Why would I be having fun on set? This is a job. You’ve probably never had a job.’ He was saying all this crazy stuff to me, and I was like, ‘Well, you’re a d*ck.'”
On his way out of the room, Joel spotted Christoph’s suitcases, and doing what any vengeful, Christoph-Waltz-hating person would do, decided to slip the star a little gift in the form of his vomit-filled hanky.
Later on, things started to pick up for young Joel when he interviewed everybody's best friend, Jennifer.
"She's awesome, like we're getting on like a house on fire. And she was like, 'Oh, well we should swap numbers,'" he said.
"She was obviously looking for a new gay to add to her collection, and she's like, 'If you need someone to show you around LA...' I was losing my mind!"
Jennifer Aniston has two settings, lonely or pregnant. Post continues below.
Feeling comfortable with the situation, Joel mentioned his awkward interview with Christoph earlier on in the day.
"As I said his name, she sort of rolled her eyes. And I was like, 'Amazing! She hates him, too!'" he said.
And that's when he made the biggest mistake of his life, telling Jen, 49, about the vomit-filled handkerchief he slipped into Christoph's bag.
"She said, 'That is the single most disgusting thing I have ever heard.' End of the interview, I never saw her again," he said.
"So I'm very Team Angelina as of this point."

Omg are you serious!
Are other people meant to think it's funny that you are immature, disgusting, rude & arrogant? Grow up & be professional.
I don’t blame her! That is the most vile story I’ve heard and not to mention extremely unprofessional. Personally, I can understand why they didn’t gel as I don’t particularly like Joel (and I too have heard of watlz’s Reputation as a difficult interviewee). But that’s just inappropriate and disrespectful. I hate to think of the blow to the reputation of any Australian journo who interviews them after this. It’s not funny, it’s juvenile. This isn’t high school (although it wouldn’t be acceptable there either), it’s not about revenge. Time to grow up Joel
