Jennifer Aniston "completely embarrassed" her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, during his book launch in NYC on Wednesday, September 2.

The Friends alum, 57, interviewed hypnotherapist Jim, 50, at Kaufmann Concert Hall at 92NY Residence to mark the release of his upcoming book, The Book of Possibility.

The couple exchanged flirty banter at the beginning of the event, with Jennifer making a cheeky joke after revealing that 92NY Residence was where she had her high school gym classes.

"I went to Steiner school just down the street, so I would come to this gym every Thursday," she said on stage.

"And I wasn't very sporty, but we had to do dodgeball, and there were these huge red balls. And there was no field; it was just indoors, so you had to run for your life. 

"So, it's quite a full-circle moment to be back here with you..." she added, then looked at Jim and quipped: "Well... speaking of dodging balls...!"

The joke landed well with the audience, but Jennifer asked Jim: "Have I completely embarrassed you?" to which he jokingly replied: "A lot."

While the event was a big moment for Jim, it was also significant for Jennifer, as she overcame a "deep fear" by agreeing to host the 30-minute Q&A.

At the end of the interview, Jim flipped the script on his girlfriend and began asking her questions.
