“[He] was a very patient human being, given that he dated us both,” Bullock added.
“He seems to have a type,” Aniston said, with Bullock describing: “Talented. Funny. Kind. Introspective. Generous.”
“Lovers of architecture, lovers of interior design,” Aniston continued.
While Donovan and Aniston dated, he also appeared onFriendsas Rachel’s boyfriend for five episodes, though his character was later written off after they split in real life.
In the interview, Bullock also described her first impression of Aniston and how it compared with theFriendscharacter everyone had come to know and love. When Bullock asked what keeps Aniston so joyful and buoyant, the actressexplained how she wanted her adult life to be radically different from her childhood.
“I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: ‘I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to experience this feeling I’m having in my body right now. I don’t want anyone else that I ever come in contact with ever to feel that.’ So I guess I have my parents to thank,” Aniston explained.
