David Schwimmer recently shared a remarkable story from his youth that feels almost like a scene from a sitcom. During his guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he reminisced about an encounter with rock star Rod Stewart in a rather surprising situation.
At the age of 18, before achieving notoriety as Ross Geller on “Friends,” Schwimmer worked as a process server for a summer job. This role included delivering legal documents like subpoenas and divorce papers, leading him on an adventure he likened to that of a “James Bond” mission.
With his mother, a divorce attorney, away, Schwimmer filled in during his internship and was tasked with serving divorce papers to Rod Stewart, famous for songs like “Maggie May” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” He described the awkward encounter with both humor and nostalgia, finding it both surreal and stressful.

Looking back on this unusual situation, Schwimmer admitted that he was grateful he has not seen Stewart since. He humorously noted that the rock star might not be fond of this memory.
“Oh man, thank goodness I’ve never run into him again,” Schwimmer chuckled. “I served Rod Stewart. I don’t even know if he knows. I doubt he knows.” He joked that Stewart might want to “punch him” for serving those papers.
This revelation has tickled the funny bones of many fans, sparking conversations online. People are amused by the contrast between Schwimmer’s early job and his later triumphs in acting. This tale adds depth to Schwimmer’s character, highlighting how he navigates life’s unexpected surprises with charm and humor.
