Jennifer Aniston and WWE Rey Mysterio allegedly had a relationship in the late 1990s
WWE legend Rey Mysterio has responded to the rumous about dating Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston, admitting 'he's a big fan' of the American actress.
The two-time World Heavyweight Champion revealed the truth
about his relationship with Aniston, who rose to international fame for her
role as Rachel Green in hit sitcom Friends, saying "she was also a fan of
mine."
There were rumours that Aniston and Mysterio had a
relationship with one another back in the late 1990s. However, the wrestler
rubbished the claims while speaking to Logan Paul.
Mysterio
weighed in on quotes from an interview in National Enquirer from 1997,
denouncing the claims and revealing how long the pair were really together
in conversation with Paul.
The wrestler, who never takes his mask off except for a brief
period in WCW, was alleged to have said: "She’s been to four of my matches
and we’ve become good friends. She told me she loves my wrestling. I always
wear my mask — ALWAYS!! It’s a big tradition in Mexico, my native country.
But I broke tradition when I met Jennifer. I actually let her see me without
my mask backstage.
He was quoted: "I’ve never done that for any
of my fans. She really got a kick out of it. We talked for some time and
exchanged home phone numbers."
But he was recently questioned in
an appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, where the truth behind the
relationship was finally revealed, according to LADBible.
Mysterio's seemingly fabricated quotes were addressed by the
man himself in his autobiography. When asked how long he and Aniston had
actually been dating, the Royal Rumble winner responded as saying
"about a week", adding he told his wife at the time who found it quite
"funny".
Writing in his autobiography, Behind the Mask, Rey
wrote: "I even showed the story to my wife — best coming from me, no? "
"The
locker room got on me for it. I’m lucky Photoshopped pictures of me and
Jennifer didn’t appear on television somewhere."
