Jennifer Aniston hysterically forgot her most famous hairstyle, which became a sensation as she starred on Rachel Green throughout the Nineties and early aughts.
In new Uber Eats commercial, which she shared to her Instagram on Tuesday, the 55-year-old Friends star pretended not to recognize the iconic layered haircut, which became a global trend.
After pulling out some products from her company, LolaVie, in the ad, a hairdresser tells her that he didn’t know you could order shampoo and conditioner from Uber Eats.
‘I’m going to have to remember that,’ he notes, to which she responds: ‘You know what they say; in order to remember something you’ve got to forget something else.’

As she turns around to continue the conversation, the actress compliments a woman on her ‘very cute’ haircut, without recognizing it was ‘The Rachel.’
‘It’s, like, a little shag haircut, I’ve never seen it before!’ she raves, prompting the woman to remind her that ‘of course she’s seen it before.’
‘It’s ‘The Rachel,” the woman kindly reminds her, to which Aniston asks if her name is Rachel, still clueless that it was once her trademark haircut.
The confused woman says, ‘No, like your name,’ but Aniston says, ‘No, I’m Jen. My name’s Jen.’
‘I just mean, this is your haircut,’ the woman explains, before Aniston says she’s ‘freaking’ her out ‘a bit.’
In the past, the performer has been vocal about hating the legendary haircut.
While the bob cut with side-parted fringe became a pop culture phenomenon that was loved by women in the Nineties, Aniston told Allure in 2011 that it ‘was the ugliest haircut’ she has ‘ever seen.’
She even joked her longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan, who invented the style, was ‘the bane of’ her ‘existence because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look.’

More recently while giving a speech in 2018, in honor of McMillan winning InStyle’s Hairstylist of the Year award, the actress couldn’t help but poke fun at the hairstyle and how difficult it was to maintain.
In 2013, she told Marie Claire it ‘was … horrible and … high maintenance’ and required ‘three brushes.’
‘[It was] like doing surgery,’ she mused. ‘I’d curse Chris every time I had to blow-dry.’
McMillan told that outlet he was well aware of Aniston’s disdain for ‘The Rachel’ because he would have to ‘hear about it every time’ he styled it on her.
The haircut was named after her character, Rachel Green, on NBC’s hit series Friends.
She starred on the series for ten seasons, alongside Courteney Cox as Monica Geller, Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay, David Schwimmer as Ross Geller, Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani and Matthew Perry, who passed away in October 2023, as Chandler Bing.

‘We’ve come a long way baby,’ Aniston raved on her Instagram Story about her haircare company, LolaVie. ‘You can now get @lolavie from @ubereats and we are so excited’
Earlier this month, Schwimmer teamed up with her on another Uber Eats ad, in which Aniston pretended not to recognize him, despite him playing her main love interest for a decade on Friends.
The premise of the funny commercial actually began with Aniston who receives a bag of different goods including flowers and shampoo from Uber Eats which is handed by a production assistant.
As she is handed the bag, the assistant admitted that she didn’t remember that you could get ‘all this stuff on Uber Eats.’
Jennifer replied: ‘Well you know what they say; in order to remember something you’ve got to forget something else. Make a little room.’

In this case, it meant she ‘forgot’ about Schwimmer, who reminds her they ‘worked together for ten years.’
Since wrapping the beloved show, the Golden Globe winner has become one of the world’s highest-paid actresses, appearing in films like Just Go with It, Horrible Bosses, We’re the Millers, Dumplin’ and Murder Mystery.
She currently is starring, alongside Reese Witherspoon, on the Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show, for which she earned a Screen Actors Guild Award.
In 2021, she launched her award-winning haircare business LolaVie.

The premise of the funny commercial is that you have to ‘forget something else’ to remember something, which in this case, for Aniston, was Schwimmer’s identity
The brand recently celebrated its second anniversary since hitting the market.
While speaking about LolaVie to Forbes in August, Aniston revealed that she ‘didn’t even expect the amount of people that come up’ to her and rave about how much her products have ‘changed their hair.’
‘They couldn’t be more grateful,’ she said of her customers, before raving that some have been described how her LolaVie glossing detangler has help their kids, who no longer consider the bathtub ‘a torture experience’ with ‘tears and crying.’
She continued: ‘Our ingredients are natural – that was a really big piece of this that had to be a part of our product and that it was also effective.’
This past spring, LolaVie partnered with its first retailer Ulta Beauty and, more recently, became available in all of Credo’s stores as well as online.
