Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver spoke to the radio show “Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie” on Wednesday, July 31, and recalled helping the Friends star cook up a creative — and delicious — surprise for her then-husband Brad Pitt’s milestone birthday in 2003.
“I actually was Brad Pitt’s 40th birthday present from Jen,” Oliver, 49, revealed. “She phoned up, and we put the phone down on her three times because we didn’t believe it was her. We thought it was someone trying it on. So she had to go through her agent to my agent, but I didn’t really have an agent, so it took a bit of a while.
But basically, we got flown. I just did it.”Oliver shot to fame with British cooking show The Naked Chef, which aired from 1999 to 2001, and it turned out Pitt, 60, was a huge fan.
“She said, ‘Would you cook for Brad? ’” Oliver recalled of the request from Aniston, 55. “He’s well into The Naked Chef and all that business, like he watches it on TV and all that. I said, ‘Absolutely, and I’ll do it for love, because I love you guys.
’”Oliver has gone on to build a cooking empire with multiple eponymous shows and cookbooks in the decades since The Naked Chef aired, and had nothing but praise for the former couple, who were married from 2000 to 2005.
