LONDON: Former Friends actress Jennifer Aniston has been denied a role on 24 because of her popularity. Aniston wanted a guest role on the show but the producers turned it down because she is “too recognisable”, reports contactmusic.com.

Executive producer says, “You can’t put those people on because they’re too recognisable. They’ll take viewers out of the reality.” Another prominent actor to be turned do-wn was Ben Stiller.
