David Schwimmer says he once served divorce papers on Sir Rod Stewart | Ents & Arts News


The one where Ross divorces the rock star…?

David Schwimmer says he once served British singer Sir Rod Stewart with divorce papers, while the actor was working in a summer job as a teenager.

The Friends star recalled a brief time as a process server – someone employed to formally serve documents to parties in a legal case – while in his first year of university and how it led to the odd encounter with Sir Rod.

Speaking on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Schwimmer said: “One summer after my freshman year in college, I was just looking for work and my mum said you can be a process server for me.

“My mum was a divorce lawyer, and so I was the guy who would pop out of the bushes and serve you divorce papers.”

The 58-year-old actor, best known for playing ‘three-divorces Ross’ in the long-running sitcom, said he felt like James Bond during the job at age 18.

“Because you get a tip, you’re tipped off as to where they might be,” he said.

“Thank goodness I’ve never run into him since – but I served Rod Stewart.

“I don’t even know if he knows. I don’t think he knows.”

“He knows now,” Colbert joked in reply.

Schwimmer did not specify which divorce it was for, but the British star split from his first wife Alana Stewart in 1984, when the actor would have been around 18.

The veteran rocker married his current wife, Penny Lancaster, in 2007.

Schwimmer, who was born in New York City but grew up partly in Los Angeles, didn’t get his first proper acting role until 1989, according to IMDB, in TV movie A Deadly Silence, and went on to appear in Friends from 1994.
