J.J. Watt bowled over by meeting with Jennifer Aniston

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's no secret that Jennifer Aniston has long been J.J. Watt's celebrity crush. The Houston Texans star had just never connected with her.

Until now.

Watt finally met the "Friends" star on Monday in Los Angeles, where they are represented by the same talent agency. He was there speaking to the agency's employees and was asked if there was anything they could do for him.

Watt didn't hesitate, bringing up his self-described "lifelong goal" of meeting the 46-year-old actress, whom he's mentioned frequently on his social media. At first, the 26-year-old defensive end thought it was going to happen over dinner this week.
