Jennifer Aniston once had a memorable New Year’s Eve with Barbra Streisand!

As Aniston, 55, presented Streisand, 81, with the 2024 SAG Awards’ Life Achievement Award on Saturday, the Friends star shared that she and the Hollywood icon

once kissed to celebrate the clock turning midnight on New Year’s Eve.

“Barbra did not just pave the way for us women; she bulldozed a clearing for us. Magnificent talent aside, she’s also a mensch,” Aniston said in her speech. “Barbra created the Streisand foundation, giving tens of millions of dollars in grants to more than 800 organizations supporting women’s health, civil rights, environmental issues and gun control.”

She continued, “And while I haven’t had the pleasure of working with her — yet — I’ve been fortunate enough to spend cherished time with her over the years, and I even got to kiss her at midnight one New Year’s Eve.”

“I’m telling the truth. Barbra, I love you, I love you, and congratulations on this well-deserved honor,” Aniston added, before turning the stage over to Bradley Cooper, who also praised Streisand as she received the achievement award.
