| F.r.i.e.n.d.s. The one with the Jennifer Aniston interview |
| Jennifer Aniston says “Her biggest role will be as a Wife and Mother”. Jennifer Aniston proved she could do more than Friends Ditzy Rachel Green when she turned in the best performance to date in Bruce Almighty. Butt she reveals she has greater ambitions than pursuing a film Carer Jennifer Aniston can tick most boxes on her list, she has the fame she earned from the hugely successful Friends, and with that came a fortune, she’s responsible for a million copycat hairstyles around the world and she is married to Hollywood Hunk Brad Pitt. Yet despite the milestones, there was one thing that continued to elude her – a hit movie. She received terrific notices for the offbeat comedy The Good Girl in 2002, but it failed to do well at the box-office. Then last year came Bruce Almighty. It went through the roof. Despite her obvious talent, Jennifer gives all credit for the film’s success to Jim Carrery Jennifer reveals she has learned about the art of slapstick from Jim Carrery the hard way “He took physical comedy and brought it to a whole other level for me”. She says “I had bruises and rug burns and did flips and was thrown the room. You didn’t know what to expect”. Jennifer might have wondered if there was a God when she was struggling to make a living in the early days of her career. But even the man upstairs couldn’t have predicated that the ensemble comedy she auditioned for a decade ago would that still be going strong today earning her $1 million plus per episode. But as we know all good thing come to an end and the series of Friends starting its running on E4 this month will be the last. The thought of finally cutting work ties to her TV family Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer – plus Jennifer in a Rachel like emotional tizzy. “It’s been a part of me for so long- almost 10 years- I can’t even imagine it”, she says “Someone was asking how I would like the show to end and I didn’t even think about the question I was just thinking Ohhh, the end!” That said Jennifer is aware the series has reached the natural conclusion. “It feel like it’s played itself beautifully to the end and I think it’s better to go out with people still loving us that sort of going. Oh, they just stayed a little too long”. It’s likely the cast will remain friends but it seems Jennifer and Courteney Cox Arquette have grown the closet over the years. Being in a hit TV show and married to one of the world’s most lusted after men would require a certain level of patience and Jennifer Credits Brad with really helping her navigate the ins and outs of being a celebrity. |
