Thrice-married rocker was served with legal papers by the budding star working a summer job. Friends star David Schwimmer has shared the unlikely experience of serving rock star Rod Stewart with divorce papers during a summer job. Schwimmer, 58, rose to fame for his role as Ross Geller on the popular sitcom beloved by millennials. But before his success on screen, he worked for his divorce lawyer mother during his time at university, aged 18.
“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,” he said during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “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 Goosebumps and Madagascar star said he felt like fictional British spy James Bond during the stint. “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. Although Schwimmer did not reveal who Stewart was divorcing at the time that he was served, the musician split from his first wife Alana Stewart in 1985, which could coincide with the actor’s university years. He is now married to his third wife Penny Lancaster, who he met in 1999.
