Stephen Baldwin says producers fired him from the 1998 romcom The Object of My Affection after they told him he couldn't be funnier than Jennifer Aniston, a critique he described as 'castrated comedically' and says he left the project after confronting the feedback.
Stephen Baldwin revealed on his podcast that he was initially cast as Jennifer Aniston’s on‑screen boyfriend in the 1998 rom‑com The Object of My Affection but was told on the second day of shooting that he “can’t be funnier than Jennifer,” was subsequently cut from the film, and the role went to John Pankow, a decision he framed as an example of Hollywood pressure on comedians.
