He said: 'I was only on set for seven hours. But the old quote says it best: "She had me at hello".

But he was easy, he said. It was not difficult to respond to a big star, like Jennifer.

'I had a crush on her. It was impossible not to. Jennifer knocked my socks off,' Brian gushed, pouring out his then strong feelings for the actress.

And during their time together, he said that he knew everything they sad about her ‘being lonely’ is far from reality.

'Jen is not the person people think she is. All that stuff about her being lonely is just ridiculous,' Bouma said, according to The Daily Mail.

Bouma and Aniston were seen together leaving at a party in the actress’s bestfriend, Courtney Cox February 2008. He claimed to spend ten days with Jennifer in Los Angeles that same month.

Their relationship ended late 2008 when he said he ended it when Aniston went on to see John Meyer on and off. Bouma concluded having no regrets after the split, saying: 'She's a lovely, smart woman and a fabulous person'.
