Vaughn though, played an important part in Aniston’s life not just as her co-star, but as a friend who got her through a dark period in her life. The We’re the Millers actor confessed that Vaughn proved to be a life saver just after her separation from Brad Pitt. Aniston had only positive things to say about working with him, and eventually getting together albeit for a short period. In an interview with Vogue, she said,

“I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course.”

Despite the relationship not lasting, Aniston and Vaughn have continued to remain friends over the years.
