Meghan Markle is eager to have Jennifer Aniston as a guest on her Archetypes podcast.
The 53-year-old actress, best known for her role as Rachel Green in Friends, recently opened up about the challenges she faced in her late 30s and 40s.
In a recent interview with Allure magazine, Aniston hinted at the media’s harsh treatment of women in the industry who choose not to have children.
She revealed that she was often labeled as selfish and solely focused on her career.
Reports suggest that Meghan is leaving no stone unturned to get close to her former co-star Jennifer Aniston.
This move could also help Meghan expand her circle of A-list friends.
However, it seems highly unlikely that Jennifer would agree to be a guest on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast.
Rumor has it that Jennifer dislikes Meghan, and this animosity has been going on for the past nine years.
Meghan’s attempts to cozy up to Jennifer are just one example of how her efforts to make connections with A-listers have backfired.
When Meghan got a role in the movie Horrible Bosses, she had high hopes of impressing Jennifer and forming a friendship.
However, things didn’t go as planned.
According to a source, Jen barely noticed Meghan’s presence on set, and Meghan was devastated when she learned that her part had been significantly cut down to just 30 seconds.
Disappointed and disheartened, Meghan allegedly bad-mouthed the movie and its stars.
She became disillusioned with the whole experience and claimed that the film was terrible, asserting that she was just as talented as Jennifer.
Many dismissed her comments as sour grapes.
Meghan’s behavior apparently reached Jennifer, who then snubbed any attempts from Prince Harry’s wife to hang out when the Sussexes relocated to Los Angeles.
Sources reveal that Jennifer has always been suspicious of Meghan’s intentions, particularly when she heard rumors that the former actress aspired to become the next Mrs. Brad Pitt.
During that time, Meghan openly expressed her desire to be a star alongside the likes of Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
While Brad was going through a divorce with Jennifer Aniston, Meghan reportedly stated that she would like to be the next Mrs. Pitt.
This rejection from Jennifer is another blow for Meghan, especially after her friend Reese Witherspoon also declined to appear on the podcast.
According to New Idea, Meghan was upset by Witherspoon’s decision as she had hoped to have the renowned actress on board.
The Duchess wanted to discuss the bimbo trope and felt that Reese, known for her role in Legally Blonde, would have been a perfect fit.
However, Meghan ended up featuring Paris Hilton instead.
The same source claims that Meghan had envisioned collaborating with Witherspoon because she admired her power, success, and high level of respect in the industry.
Meghan believed that they would make a natural team.
However, it appears that Reese is not interested.
The source also suggests that Witherspoon’s reluctance may be influenced by her fondness for Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Reese and Kate got along famously and stayed in touch after their initial meeting.
Given Meghan’s public remarks about her rift with Kate, it’s likely that Reese would prefer to keep her distance.
In Meghan’s pursuit of influential guests for her podcast, she has faced disappointment with both Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon declining her invitations.
It remains to be seen who Meghan will manage to bring on board for future episodes.
