Celebrities Who Like to Watch Their Own TV Shows, Movies

These stars don’t shy away when it comes to viewing their own performances. From Jennifer Lawrence to Jennifer Aniston, even Rachel Green herself can’t help but stop when a Friends episode is on TV.

While she loves to catch a rerun episode, the long-time actress opened up during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic about watching fan-made edits of bloopers of the series with her costar Courteney Cox.

“We were trying to find something to reference, an old Friends thing,” the Marley & Me actress said in a June 2020 interview. “And then we stumbled on — there’s bloopers online, like, 15 minutes of bloopers — and we sat there at the computer like two nerds watching these bloopers laughing at ourselves.”

Jennifer Lawrence

“I think it’s time for a good old-fashioned laugh,” Jennifer said of her raunchy comedy.

The actress and her husband, Cooke Maroney, recently dropped by an NYC theater to catch a showing of her raunchy R-rated flick No Hard Feelings. Yet the 33-year-old is humble when it comes to her fame. Once tasked by Jimmy Kimmel to ask pedestrians to name five of her films, the mom of one struck out. One woman, who clearly didn’t recognize the Oscar winner, even said she prefers to watch Jennifer Aniston movies! JLaw agreed the Friends star is “prettier, funnier and way better than Jennifer Lawrence.”

Samuel L. Jackson

“If I am channel surfing and I pass a movie that I’m in, I’m watching it no matter what,” Sam has said.

The Captain Marvel star isn’t embarrassed to admit he checks out his work on the big screen. He even buys tickets for his church and friends. “Yes I do! Religiously!” the 74-year-old has said, noting that he prefers catching the flicks when they’ve already been out for a while. At premieres, he explained, fans will “kiss your ass,” but folks are more honest at regular theaters.

Keanu Reeves

Now that he’s a star of so many FX-heavy films, the John Wick star says he heads to the theater to see how the films turned out. “I know for John Wick Chapter 3, I went to the cinema before it was gonna leave the cinema,” said the 59-year-old. “I went to a friend, like, ‘Can we go see John Wick?’”

John Boyega

The star of the Star Wars sequel trilogy can’t help judging his performance when he first watches himself, but on subsequent viewings, he’s blown away by the complex finished product. “I’m not just watching my performance,” explained the 31-year-old. “I like watching all of it. I like to see the visual effects come together.”

Jennifer Aniston

It’s not that the 54-year-old, a.k.a. Rachel Green, seeks out her work — it’s just that Friends reruns are everywhere! And just like the rest of us, Jen can’t resist watching a few minutes — or a few episodes. “It made me laugh,” she explained of the long-running sitcom. “It always made me laugh. That was something great to do for 10 years.”
