David Schwimmer has revealed that he once served divorce papers to Rod Stewart.

The actor - best known for playing the role of Ross Geller in friends - has recalled how he spent a brief time as a process server and how it led to him spending a brief encounter with the British crooner.

Speaking on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 58-year-old star said: "I had so many jobs. I had so many banana(s) jobs. So, yes one summer after my freshers year in college I was looking for a job and my mum said, 'Well you can be a processor for me, a divorce lawyer'... So was the guy who would pop out the bushes and serve you divorce papers."

He went on: "At the time I was 18. I was like, 'I'm like James Bond'. I'm not James Bond. I mean, cause you're tipped off to where they might be. And once, thank goodness I've never run into him since, but I served Rod Stewart."

Watch him recall the encounter with the Da Ya Think I'm Sexy star below:
