Sir Rod Stewart, the legendary singer, had his first marriage come to a surprising end thanks to a little help from none other than Friends star, David Schwimmer. However, Sir Rod himself has no idea about this interesting turn of events.
As Sir Rod recently celebrated his 80th birthday in a grand manner, David awkwardly revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert how he once served the singer with his divorce papers. Before landing his big break on Friends in 1994, David had to work multiple jobs to pay for his university education. One of these jobs was at his mother's legal firm in the 80s, where he had the interesting task of serving papers to unsuspecting individuals, including celebrities.
David shared, "One summer after my freshman year in college, I was just looking for work. And my mum said, 'Well, you can be a process server for me.' So I was the guy who would pop out of the bushes and serve you divorce papers." At the young age of 18, David was quite enthusiastic about this job, joking that he felt like James Bond. However, he quickly realized that he was not actually like the famous spy, as he would usually receive tips about the whereabouts of the person he needed to serve.
David revealed that he had once served Sir Rod with his divorce papers, but the two have never crossed paths since then. He even admitted that he doesn't think Sir Rod knows about this incident. Sir Rod's first marriage to actress and model Alana Stewart ended in 1984 after four years and two children together. He then went on to marry model Rachel Hunter in 1990, but their divorce was not finalized until 2006. Sir Rod is now happily married to his current wife, Penny Lancaster, whom he married in 2007.
The host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, joked that Sir Rod probably knows about this now, to which David nervously laughed and replied, "He's not here, is he?" Stephen added, "You could theoretically run into Rod Stewart some time, and now he knows to punch you." David also revealed that he worked as a rollerskating waiter in Chicago for a brief period, where he was "great" and "excellent."
Interestingly, it would be 10 more years before Friends would air, making David a household name. He was 28 when the show began in 1994 and ran for ten successful seasons until its finale episode, "The Last One," aired on May 6, 2004. Meanwhile, Sir Rod continues to be one of the biggest icons in British music and is set to perform on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage this year. In an interview, he confirmed that he will no longer be doing large-scale world tours and instead will focus on smaller venues for a more intimate experience.
