Even Jay Leno was impressed that Jennifer Aniston was a switch after she admitted to FRIENDS that she bought a Mercedes with her first paycheck.

Jennifer Aniston became one of the highest paid TV actresses when she starred in FRIENDS. The sitcom made her a global star as her role as Rachel Green entertained generations. She also became a fashion icon, with her hairstyle, dubbed 'The Rachel', being extremely popular with viewers in the 90s.

While Aniston was reportedly paid $1 million per episode by the final season, she was a relative unknown when she landed the role. In an interview with Jay Leno, after the show ended in 2004, Aniston revealed that she bought a Mercedes 280SL with her first paycheck. The revelation impressed Leno so much that he immediately asked her out.

Jennifer Aniston reportedly almost missed out on the role of Rachel Green in FRIENDS because she was going to be on another TV show. Titled Muddling Fast, the sitcom was reportedly dropped before being picked up, allowing Aniston to continue playing Rachel on FRIENDS, and the rest is history (via Screen Rant).
