Jennifer Aniston<\/a> and Reese Witherspoon<\/a> have been friends for 25 years \u2014 but they\u2019re still learning new things about one another.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with LADbible, the Morning Show co-stars <\/a>played a game called \u201cDo You Even Know Me?\u201d in which they took turns answering multiple choice questions about different aspects of one another\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

At one point, Witherspoon asked Aniston to guess her real middle name: Jane, Jeanne or Joan.<\/p>\n

Aniston failed to choose correctly, picking Jane when it was actually Jeanne.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s confusing. I\u2019m Laura Jeanne,\u201d Witherspoon said<\/a> before elaborating that her full real name is Laura Jeanne Reese.<\/a><\/p>\n

Aniston, seemingly baffled, wondered: \u201cWho\u2019s Laura? Who the hell\u2019s Laura?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWait, Laura Jeanne? I\u2019m not calling you that from now on. \u2018Come on, Laura Jeanne,\u2019\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Witherspoon, who has long gone by her true middle name, Reese, then turned the tables by asking Aniston her middle name, revealed to be Joanna.<\/p>\n

\u201cJennifer Joanna,\u201d Witherspoon said, taking it in. \u201cJ.J. Does anybody call you J.J.? Well I do now,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Their friendship dates back about 25 years to when Witherspoon made a guest appearance on the hit sitcom Friends<\/a>, playing Aniston\u2019s younger sister.<\/p>\n

Now, the two co-star on the popular Apple TV series, The Morning Show, which released its newest season this week.<\/p>\n

The series, which launched in 2019, follows a fictional breakfast show<\/a> in the aftermath of a prominent news anchor being hit with a series of allegations. It also stars Billy Crudup, Karen Pittman and Nestor Carbonell.<\/p>\n

The fourth season, released Wednesday, is set in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of season three. The newsroom must grapple with the newfound responsibility of navigating hidden motives in a polarised America, as the completion of the UBA-NBN merger causes a shakeup among the staff.<\/p>\n

Aniston \u2014 who is executive producer of the show alongside Witherspoon \u2014 stars as TV anchor Alex Levy, host of UBA\u2019s morning show, who is now dealing with things from a new position. Witherspoon plays Bradley Jackson, who is back at work despite quitting her job and facing punishment over helping her brother hide his involvement on the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.<\/p>\n

Just hours before the season four release, The Morning Show was renewed for a fifth season.<\/p>\n
