Chris McMillan, who worked as the star's stylist on the set of Friends, admitted that Rachel's famous hairstyle was created by chance when he accidentally cut a lock of Jen's hair before filming the first episode of the series. The girl had to forget about her old hairstyle.

18. Ten years in the same role ...?

The series "Friends" successfully ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004.

Shooting more than two hundred episodes of the cult series allowed the actress to become one of the highest paid actresses of this show, receiving a fee of a million dollars for each episode of the last seasons.

At the same time, she cannot be called an actress of one role, since over the years she has actively starred in many films, TV shows and participated in the dubbing of cartoons.

Her most famous works are: "Portrait of Perfection", "Steel Giant", "Here Comes Polly", and, of course, "Bruce Almighty".

19. Awards and nominations

For her role in Friends, she received the prestigious Golden Globe and Emmy awards, as well as many others. It is quite difficult to count her nominations and awards in the period from 1994 to 2004 - there are dozens of them.

But even after "Friends" she has remarkable awards. For example, for the best kiss in the film "We are the Millers."

20. Could shoot in the Titanic

The couple announced their separation on January 7, 2005, March 25, Aniston filed for divorce, and they divorced on October 2.

Although parting with Brad Pitt was very difficult for the actress, she says that she does not hold a grudge against him and is grateful to him for the many happy moments spent together. These events greatly stirred up the media, which gave rise to a lot of gossip that added fuel to the fire.

30. "Team Aniston" vs. "Team Jolie"

Of course, the media blamed Angelina Jolie for the breakup of Aniston and Pitt's marriage, which was essentially true. But they protected and supported Jennifer in every possible way, since her positive image was closer to everyone, but on.

The fans supported the trend, some bought T-shirts with the inscription "Aniston Team", and others with "Jolie Team". Needless to say, Aniston won by a wide margin?

Jolie, by the way, was able to correct her image of the fatal seductress and destroyer of families only many years later, when she gave birth to three children, and adopted three more.

31. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

Since May 2011, Jen has been dating actor Justin Theroux (they starred together in the comedy Wanderlust). On August 10, 2012, the couple announced their engagement on Teru's 41st birthday.

The marriage lasted less than three years, on February 16, 2018, the actress officially announced her divorce from Justin.

32. Aniston and Pitt back together?

After Brad Pitt divorced Jolie, the media began to follow his personal life even more closely. Not surprisingly, rumors spread that Pitt returned to Aniston, after the actor was caught at a party in honor of the 50th anniversary of the actress.

The actors themselves have not yet commented on the rumors, and to a direct question about a new relationship, Brad answered only emotionally:

- Oh my goodness!

33. Jennifer Aniston's children

For a long time, fans of the actress and journalists asked the same question why Jen does not have children. At different times, the versions were different, someone talked about her unwillingness to lose her figure, someone that she was simply not ready to become a mother or there were no suitable candidates for fatherhood, most often she was called a careerist and selfish. With age, they started talking about infertility.

Aniston herself tried not to comment on the rumors in any way and only at the age of 50 spoke about this in an interview with InStyle magazine:

“No one knows what is really going on behind closed doors, what I have been through medically and emotionally. Women are under pressure to be mothers. And if they do not become them, they are considered spoiled. Maybe my purpose in this world is not to leave behind offspring? Are there other important things I can and should do?”

34. Aniston wants to adopt a girl

Giving birth at 50 is almost impossible. Jennifer herself has come to terms with this idea and is ready to adopt a girl from Mexico. She visited two orphanages in Mexico City and she really liked one of the babies.

It is known that the girl is a little over a year old at the time of the start of the adoption procedure (beginning of 2019). When all the bureaucracy is passed, Aniston will become a happy mother.

Other facts about Jennifer Aniston

35. Became the first woman "Person of the Year"

In December 2005, the popular men's publication GQ for the first time awarded its honorary title of "Person of the Year" not to the representative of the stronger sex, but to a woman, and it was Jennifer Aniston who became her. On the cover of her triumphant issue, the star appeared in some shorts.

36. First tattoo in memory of a friend

In 2011, the star's favorite pet, Norman the Corgi Terrier, died. The pet lived in Jen's house for 15 years, so she was very attached to him and could not bear the loss.

In memory of him, she got her first and last tattoo to date on her leg with the inscription "Norman".

It is noteworthy that shortly before the death of a pet, the actress bought him ... an apartment worth 5.9 million dollars. According to the documents, luxury housing was issued in the name of Norman.

37. Difficult relationship with mother

The actress did not communicate with her mother for the last ten years of her life. Even Nancy's severe illness could not reconcile them.

Jennifer says that her mother criticized her appearance, work, lack of children and more all the time. The onslaught forced Jen to stop communicating with her.

38. The ideal figure is expensive for an actress.

Despite her age, she remains in near perfect shape, claiming that it's all thanks to yoga. She starred in the introduction for the Yogalosophy DVD released by her teacher in 2009.

Jennifer admits that maintaining such a weight of about 50 kg is becoming increasingly difficult, especially given her tendency to be overweight.

The desire to achieve ideal parameters forced the young girl to exhaust herself with diets, including those dangerous to health. According to rumors, this led to a hormonal imbalance, and subsequently to infertility. However, it is likely that the absence of children is a conscious choice.

39. There is no secret diet from Jennifer Aniston

She is annoyed by the headlines of articles that allegedly reveal a secret diet that allows her to be in shape. Jen claims that there is no secret, you just need to eat the right food and exercise.

The day of the actress begins with water with lemon, eggs, avocados and muesli. She says that the foundation of any healthy diet is plenty of fruits, vegetables, and water, as well as a minimum of sweets. The regularity of nutrition is also important. According to her, happiness can only be achieved by moderation and consistency, and not by periodically exhausting the body with hunger strikes.

40. Persuaded Perry to lose weight

Jennifer offered to do personal training with her colleague Matthew Perry in the early 2000s to help him lose weight.

41. Doesn't follow fashion

Most of the star's colleagues are constantly experimenting with their appearance, but the girl herself says that she does not like to change her style, wears what is comfortable for her and does not strive to keep up with trends, adhering to a conservative style of clothing.

42. Bought a special water filter for $4000

The star purchased a special filter worth four thousand dollars, which enriches the water with special components to slow down aging. But she herself does not use it, the filter was purchased for her beloved pets Dolly the shepherd and Sophie the pit bull. She hopes this will help them live longer, as she has a strong bond with her animals.

43. Best friend from Friends

Aniston's best friend is Courteney Cox, they became friends during the filming of "Friends", but after the completion of the project they remain friends.

The girl is the godmother of Courteney Cox's daughter.

44. Actively involved in charity

The actress regularly helps five charities with generous donations. She wants to help children who suffer from cancer and genetic diseases.

Perhaps with charity Jennifer responds to accusations that she does not have children because of ambition and unwillingness to lose attractiveness.

45. Plastic surgery: nose, lips, chest

Jennifer denies that she did any plastic surgery for the sake of maintaining an attractive appearance. However, even a simple comparison of photographs of her youth with the current ones says that this is not so.

Aniston admits only that he did rhinoplasty for medical reasons and the first result did not suit her. Apparently, then she went under the knife a second time to finally correct the shape of her nose.

The actress herself speaks out against plastic surgery, but many experts are sure that she pumped up her lips and enlarged her breasts. However, a more voluminous chest at 50 may well turn out to be an ordinary push-up bra.

46 "Plan B"

During their marriage to Brad Pitt, the couple invested part of their royalties in their own film company, which they called Plan B. Today, Pitt is considered its sole owner, and the company itself is actively working with such movie monsters as Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox.

The film company, founded in 2001, already has a long list of successful works, including Troy (2004), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), The Departed (2006), Kick-Ass (2010), 12 Years a Slave (2013), Big Short (2015) and many others.

It was later revealed that this was just a make-up for the movie "Pie", in which Jen plays a woman with a mental disorder, intentionally causing pain and injury to herself.

49. Instagram Jennifer Aniston and other social networks

I don't have profiles on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. It's my deep conviction that iPhones, Snapchat, and everything else encourage narcissism to flourish. People use filters and other tools to hide who they really are.

50. Prank on the set of "We're the Millers"

We're the Millers co-stars Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts and
Will Poulter originally played the actress by including a song from the Friends screensaver.

51. Aniston's most famous quotes

I want to wake up one day and say to myself: "I deserve all this."

I have a lot of facial wrinkles, but what can I do? I love to smile!

We women constantly complain that men have become spoiled and do nothing to develop relationships. But, in fact, we spoiled them ourselves, because we instinctively put ourselves in the role of hostess and manage everything. And relationships are always cooperation, where all issues need to be discussed, talking about your desires directly and not waiting for your partner to read your thoughts.

I strongly advise: count only on yourself. But if they offer help, accept it.

Love is a relative concept. Today love is with me, and tomorrow you look: already with Angelina Jolie.

I feel sexiest in my favorite jeans and boyfriend T-shirt.

You need to think less, live more.

Don't make too big plans. Always assume that circumstances may change.

True love gives you the strength to endure everything - even the daily reflection of yourself in the mirror.

I have no disappointments in my life. I'm just taking lessons.

The best smell in the world is the scent of the man you love.

Since there was once a Brangelina, why was nothing heard of Brennifer? Aniston and Pitt have been happily married for 5 years.

Pitt and Aniston began dating in the 90s, when Jennifer shone as the star of Friends. In 2000, the actors got married, playing a luxurious wedding in Malibu with a modest budget of one million dollars. In addition to an expensive wedding, they bought a mansion worth about two million dollars. Everything was fine until Brad left his wife for Angelina Jolie...Mr. Smith just couldn't keep his gun in his pants...this is how he remembers his marriage to Jen: "I was already sick of myself, sitting on the couch with a joint, hiding from everything. It was a sad sight. I began to realize that I was desperately trying to make a film that showed an interesting life, but my own life was not interesting at all. I think it had something to do with my marriage. He really wasn't the way we tried to show him to the public."

12. Wiry and thin

She certainly works on her face (which, of course, she does better than other girls from "Friends" like Courteney Cox), but the body will always find a way to show its true age. It's like counting rings on a tree. The veins on her legs are becoming visible ... Either her shoes are small, or ... Jennifer Aniston is just getting old. Thank God, this girl has the mind to age with dignity, she says this about it: “According to the press, I was both too thin and too fat. There is no point in trying to please everyone, so I suggest that we all give up this useless activity once and for all. She loves yoga, and this is how yoga has affected her figure: “My legs have become more slender. My arms are stronger. It seems to me that I even added a centimeter in height due to the fact that I try to align my spine all the time. But these are all nice bonuses. The main thing is that I have become more harmonious and stable internally. When you hold an asana, you learn to be patient with yourself. You will definitely cope, and if not, it's okay. This is not a competition. Not a race. It's just life."

Well, yes, there are embarrassments with Hollywood stars. In December 2016, Jennifer Aniston (appeared at the premiere of the New Year's comedy, where the actress played one of the main roles. Walking along the red carpet, the star disgraced herself in front of reporters. Well, the journalists themselves wrote so in the tables - “dishonored.” In fact, it happened a little embarrassment: the price tag was still hanging on her black Celine coat.There may be several options why the tag remained on the coat: either the star intended to return the new thing back to the store, or she simply forgot to take it off when she left.

10. Surprise Surprise

The story of the couple's breakup appeared on the cover of Lifestyle magazine - 21 days after the wedding of Aniston and Theroux, shortly after their honeymoon in Bora Bora. After that, Justin flew off to work and, as the newspaper writes, "was happier at a distance than with her." The tabloid wrote: “She can no longer pretend to be happy. Jen thinks she may have made the biggest mistake of her life by marrying Justin." There was also mention of a strong Skype quarrel between the newlyweds, while Jen is working in Atlanta on a new film, allegedly the couple constantly quarrel. But this is all complete nonsense, and no one broke up either after 21 days or after 21 months.

9 Before She Was Hot

Everyone was an ugly duckling in their youth, and these shirts from the 80s paint few people ... The role of Rachel Green in the TV series Friends made Jen a star 20 years ago, brought millions in fees, an Emmy award and so far the only Golden Globe in her career ". However, as often happens, she made her a hostage to the only image of a funny girl who always gets into ridiculous situations.

8. It's not true - it's just a tabloid

The headline "Pregnant at 40!" is a commonplace magazine duck. That time they got Jen hard, and she spoke publicly: “To begin with, I'm not pregnant! I'm fed up with these rumors, I'm fed up with what is called "journalism". … tabloids distort the values ​​in society and the concept of female beauty. I realized that a woman is judged by whether she has a family, whether she has children. The press wants to know if I'm pregnant or not, evaluating my progress in this matter. Attention is focused on the fact that childless women are supposedly inferior and unhappy. If I can ever become a mother, you will know about it from me personally.

7. Gets stuck

Headlines like "Jennifer flashed her lush buttocks in a skimpy swimsuit" usually refer to a different Jennifer... but sometimes our Jen gets into the yellow press with a fifth point! The paparazzi are on the alert, their cameras with huge telephoto cameras are always ready: and here is just an unsuccessful swimsuit ... In general, Aniston happened to play completely naked in a movie, so she shouldn’t worry about such trifles. For example, in 2006, Aniston starred naked in the comedy melodrama American Divorce, where she played Brooke Meyers. At the 57th minute of the film, the actress walks around the house completely naked to seduce her husband Gary Grobowski (played by Vince Vaughn).

6. Lots and lots of rumors...

Did Aniston cheat on Pitt with her Friends co-star? Jennifer Aniston allegedly had a brief affair with Friends co-star Matt LeBlanc. It seems that feelings between Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc flared up on the set of season 9. According to rumors, Jennifer Aniston was seriously passionate about Leblanc ... Matt Leblanc's father said that his son and Jennifer Aniston locked themselves in the dressing rooms and had sex right in between filming. Gossip about Jennifer Aniston now and then appears in the media, as if she attracts various rumors ... The tabloids simply cannot calm down, they have repeatedly tried to divorce Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. Someone will call it "fantastic PR", and we just sympathize with Jen.

5. A little run

Photos taken by the paparazzi during the honeymoon of Jen and Justin were provided with malicious captions like "Jennifer is very plump." The tabloids frolic with might and main, and wrote in this spirit: “Vacation with a lover, apparently, very relaxed Hollywood beauty Jennifer Aniston. In the latest pictures of the stars that got into the network, it is impossible not to notice that she has recovered quite a lot. The most vicious bloggers wrote: "Despite the fact that for decades all the yellow newspapers of the world have been calling her an impeccable fitness body, Aniston is fat." Well, what can I say? Jen is a smart girl, she did not pay the slightest attention to this mosquito squeak.

4. This hair

If Jolie's trademark is plump lips, then Jen, in fact, became famous for her perfect hair. The famous highlighting “under Aniston” is known to many fashionistas around the world, and it was with her photo that girls once came to hairdressers. By 1998, she had already become the idol of millions, then she wore short straight strands with recognizable highlights. Then Rachel's hairstyle became the signature card of the actress. But... and Jen has some difficult moments with her hair. The photo captures a frame that the paparazzi could not miss - either a crow's nest or dilapidated dreadlocks. Well, it happens!

3. The girl grew up

Yes, she is growing up, and at 47 no one looks 20. She says this about herself: “When you are over 40, you feel the way you should have felt at 25: you are comfortable - both physically and mentally, you are satisfied with life and calm, even if there are obstacles on the way. How does she take care of herself? “Justin and I are having fasting weekends. During the week we eat little - too busy with work.
