Before hitting the big time, actor David Schwimmer held a variety of odd jobs, including a surprising stint as a process server for his divorce lawyer mother. During a recent chat on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the 58-year-old star recounted an amusing anecdote from his younger days, involving a memorable encounter with none other than rock icon Rod Stewart.
Schwimmer described the experience of "popping out of the bushes" to deliver divorce papers, likening it to a scene straight out of a James Bond film. He confessed to serving Stewart, adding with a chuckle that he doubts the musician even remembers the incident.
While the details of Stewart's divorce remain unclear (he's been married three times), Schwimmer's story provided a humorous glimpse into his pre-fame life. The actor's appearance on the talk show was to promote his role in the Disney+ series "Goosebumps: The Vanishing," where he plays a botanist-turned-caregiver for his mother and twin children.
"I served Rod Stewart. I don't even know if he knows. I don't think he knows."
— David Schwimmer
This horror-comedy series marks a departure for Schwimmer, both in genre and in the opportunity to portray a father of teenagers, a role that resonates with his personal life. Though familiar with on-screen fatherhood from his time on "Friends," this project presents a fresh perspective on the complexities of parenting older children.
