Imagine getting served your divorce papers from Ross from Friends. It's the kind of absurdity you can't make up even if you tried. But every creative person needs a day job while they're trying to pursue their passion and future career. That's the case for David Schwimmer, who spent one of his summers handing out divorce papers in college.

Recently, the actor appeared on an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. There, he reveals a core memory during college where he was looking for work. The job stands out for Schwimmer for one reason in particular: it brought him in connection with Rod Stewart. "One summer after my freshman year in college, I was just looking for work, and my mom said, 'Well, you can be a process server for me,'" David says. "My mom was a divorce lawyer, and I was the guy who would pop out of the bushes and serve you divorce papers. Once, oh man, thank goodness I've never run into him since, but I served Rod Stewart. I don't even know if he knows. I don't think he knows."
David Schwimmer Dropped a Bomb on Rod Stewart When Handing Him His Divorce Papers
Well now Rod Stewart knows who he needs to fight if he wants to get his vengeance. So who was David Schwimmer serving the divorce papers for behind the scenes? If the Friends actor was a freshman in college, he would be around 18-19 years old at the time. Crunch some numbers and the timeline matches with his divorce from his first wife Alana Stewart.
Regardless of David serving him as a young adult, Rod Stewart himself would admit he wasn't ready for marriage life. When speaking with PEOPLE back in 2021, he admits that a conversation with his dad helped him realize he wasn't ready to settle down just yet. "When I told my dad I was getting married, he said, 'You're far too young,'" Stewart recounts. "He was right. I still had a lot of living, partying, drinking and shagging to do."
