Cher’s Hilarious Take on Jennifer Aniston: “She Ate Me Out of House and Home!”

Jennifer Aniston’s rise to A-list fame through Friends and The Morning Show might seem like a Hollywood fairytale, but her friendship with pop legend Cher dates back long before her career took off. In fact, Aniston and Cher’s bond goes all the way back to the late 1970s, when Aniston was a teenager attending LaGuardia High School of Music & Art And Performing Arts in New York City.

At the time, Aniston was studying acting and happened to form a friendship with Chaz Bono, the son of none other than Cher, who was already a star as one half of the iconic duo Sonny & Cher. This connection led to a nearly 50-year friendship between the two women, filled with memories and stories that have become increasingly endearing over time.

One of the most hilarious anecdotes comes from Cher herself, who during a December 2022 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, couldn’t help but laugh as she recalled the times Aniston and her friends would come over to her house. According to Cher, the group of teenagers, especially Aniston, would show up at her house, armed with snacks from the local grocery store, Balducci’s. Cher joked that Aniston would “eat [her] out of house and home,” recalling how the actress had a particular fondness for chowing down on cold cuts. Cher said Aniston was the “big chow down-er,” often leaving her kitchen looking like a post-party disaster.

Aniston didn’t deny her legendary appetite, addressing Cher’s comments on Live with Kelly and Ryan in March 2023. “Yes, she had food, from Belducci’s, as she likes to say,” Aniston confirmed with a laugh. She even poked fun at herself, remarking, “How was I the only one partaking in the cold cuts?” Clearly, the actress has fond memories of those simpler days, even if her youthful eating habits left Cher a bit exasperated.

But beyond the food-fueled fun, Aniston fondly remembers her time at Cher’s house as “wild and wonderful.” She shared that while they were just high school kids, they didn’t quite realize the full extent of Cher’s stardom at the time. “It was just fun to be able to hang out with Cher,” she said. And though she was just a teenager, she couldn’t help but notice the glitz and glam of Cher’s life, including a certain legendary closet that she and her friends might have taken a “peek” into.

While the two haven’t yet had the chance to share the screen in a movie together, their friendship shows that chemistry doesn’t just belong in the movies. These two icons share a bond that spans decades and remains as strong—and as hilarious—as ever. With Cher’s sense of humor and Aniston’s playful retorts, it’s no wonder they continue to enjoy a friendship that’s stood the test of time. Whether they’re reminiscing about their wild youth or simply laughing over a shared history, Cher and Aniston are proof that sometimes the best friendships are built over shared moments, food, and plenty of laughs.
