Television host David Letterman has been criticised for sucking on Jennifer Aniston’s hair when she appeared on his show back in 1998.
The 73-year-old presenter was recently called out for his 2013 interview with Lindsay Lohan which sees him repeatedly ask her about her stints in rehab.
Now the internet has unearthed another The Late Show interview and many have branded it “disturbing”.
In the video, Letterman places his hand by Aniston’s neck and proceeds to stick his tongue out close to her face.
The host said: “Forgive me if this is rude, I just want to try one thing.”

When he went towards her, Jennifer recoiled and squealed before saying: “What are you doing?”
He then put the Friends star’s hair into his mouth as she laughed.
Letterman then went back to his desk and passed Jennifer a tissue which she used to wipe his saliva off.
He said: “I’m sorry.”
The presenter continued: “It’s something to do with the steam room”. referring to a comment the actress had previously made when talking about a fan encounter in a steam room.

After pocketing the tissue, Jennifer smiled: “That’s going to be worth a lot of money someday.”
She later remarked: “That’s something I’ll never forget.”
Letterman replied: “Well you scared the hell out of me.
“I was like that [mimicking putting her hair in his mouth] and you screamed. How did you think I felt? You ruined it for me. Are you happy?”
Aniston said: “I’m so sorry! What was I thinking?”

Fans were creeped out by the old interview and shared their thoughts on social media.
One said: “Can’t get over how creepy and disturbing this clip of Jennifer Aniston on Letterman is
While another penned: “Recently learned that letterman is a weirdo. There’s a clip of him touching Jennifer Aniston’s hair and then putting it in his mouth during an interview.”
“Around the 2:19 mark look what Letterman does to Jen Aniston. It’s sick. He sucks on her hair”, penned a third while sharing a YouTube video of the interview.
Despite the strange hair sucking, Jennifer appeared on the show alongside Letterman once again in 2017.
Daily Star has contacted a representative for Letterman for comment.
