Us Weekly has an interesting little tidbit in this week’s issue. Apparently, comedian and actor Jay Mohr gave an interview to Elle Magazine, and in the interview, he made an oblique reference to a former costar who, he says, was a major pill. Just FYI, Mohr did the interview to promote his supporting role in Hereafter, the Matt Damon film (directed by Clint Eastwood). So it’s good to see he’s still working, I guess, even though I used to think he was an a–hole. Here’s the relevant part of the interview:
ELLE: Tell me about your most awkward interaction with a female celebrity.
JM: Being on the set of a movie where the leading woman was unhappy with my presence and made it clear from day one. I hadn’t done many movies, and even though they screen-tested some pretty famous guys, I somehow snaked into the leading role. The actress said, “No way! You’ve got to be kidding me!” Loudly. Between takes. To other actors on set. I would literally go to my mom’s house and cry.ELLE: As luck would have it, I happen to be on the Internet Movie Database right now. The only film that could possibly fit this description is 1997’s Picture Perfect, with Jennifer Aniston. That’s it, right?
JM: I will never, ever answer that.

When Us Weekly contacted Aniston’s rep, Huvane had “no comment.” Interesting… I think if it wasn’t Aniston, Mohr would have said so, so now we know: Aniston was an unprofessional bitch to Jay Mohr back in 1997, when they did that towering work of filmdom, Picture Perfect. God, that was a horrible film. Not even Kevin Bacon could save it.
