While Sir Rod celebrated his 80th birthday in style, the sitcom legend awkwardly revealed how he once served him divorce papers. Before his big break in 1994, David worked ‘so many jobs’ to pay his way through university, he told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show.

The future star was helping out at his mum’s legal firm in the 80s and dished out papers to unsuspecting people, both famous and otherwise. ‘One summer after my freshman year in college, I was just looking for work,’ he shared. ‘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.’. David, 58, was rather enthusiastic about this role at just 18, saying he was ‘like James Bond’. The Goosebumps star continued: ‘I’m not James Bond! ‘Cause you’re tipped off as to where they might be.’.

‘Once… thank goodness I’ve never run into him since,’ David confessed. ‘But I served Rod Stewart. I don’t even know if he knows. I don’t think he knows.’. Sir Rod divorced his first wife, actress and model Alana Stewart, in 1984 after four years and two children together.
