Jennifer Aniston pranks British radio host

Jennifer Aniston left a British radio host squirming during a recent interview when she set out to make the chat as awkward as possible as part of a prank.

The former Friends star met with BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Stark to discuss her new film Horrible Bosses 2, and she shocked him by putting on an icy persona, sighing at his questions and batting others back with blunt one-word responses.

Stark's colleagues instructed him to quiz the actress on her flirting technique for a purported Radio 1 documentary, prompting outraged responses from Aniston as she played along with the gag.

The joke was set up by Stark's fellow DJ Scott Mills, who eventually stopped the chat and told Stark what was going on. Aniston then told the embarrassed interviewer, "I'm so sorry" before giving him a hug.
