Jennifer Aniston 'fought for her Horrible Bosses wig'

a day ago

Jennifer Aniston "fought" to wear a wig in Horrible Bosses. The 56-year-old actress played the flirtatious Dr. Julia Harris in the 2011 comedy movie, and Jennifer has revealed that her brunette wig was a point of contention before the cameras started rolling. The Hollywood star told Vanity Fair: "I fought for that wig, by the way. That was not an easy battle. "I wanted her to look different. And the argument from the studio — I'm sorry to call you out — was that, 'We're just afraid it won't look like you.' And I said, 'That's kind of the point.'" Jennifer - who starred in the movie alongside the likes of Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx - doesn't have any regrets about the wig. The actress said: "I just still think it might look a little bit like me, but I'm glad I fought for it, and I stuck to my guns." Jennifer is best known for playing Rachel Green in Friends. However, she relished the challenge of playing the flirty dentist in Horrible Bosses, noting that her character was "so far away" from her real-life self. She said: "I think I was always seen as the girl next door, the ingenue. "It was fairly fun to play somebody like this, because it's so far away from anything that I am. And I think that's what the director liked, was that, 'Oh, this is so not what we would expect from this gal'. "That was the fun of it, though. I think that's what made it more creatively exciting for me, obviously. I remember when I read this script, I was pretty excited about it." Jennifer's distinctive haircut in Friends - which was known simply as The Rachel - proved to be hugely influential in the 90s. However, the actress previously admitted that she wasn't a fan of the style. She told Marie Clare magazine in 2013: "The Rachel was ... horrible and ... high maintenance." Jennifer also joked that she felt frustrated with her hairstylist Chris McMillan at the time. The actress likened maintaining the style to undergoing "surgery". She quipped: "I'd curse Chris every time I had to blow-dry."

Jennifer Aniston Says 'Of Course' She Talks About Famous Ex She Shares With Gwyneth Paltrow

Jennifer Aniston has nothing but love for her friend Gwyneth Paltrow ― despite the two once both being betrothed to the same man. Paltrow and Aniston both famously dated ― and were both engaged to ― Brad Pitt. Only Pitt and Aniston made it down the aisle, and the two were married from 2000 to 2005. 'Ironically, I went to her and Brad's engagement party,' Aniston said in a new interview with Vanity Fair, published earlier this week. When the author of the piece asked if the two still spoke about Pitt, Aniston answered, 'Oh, of course.' 'How can we not? We're girls,' she said. But Vanity Fair added that the two actually talk about wellness more than their famous ex. 'We're always swapping advice—'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'' she added. Paltrow and Pitt dated for two years before Pitt proposed in 1996. The two called things off just six months later, which Paltrow said 'was the right thing to do' while opening up about the broken engagement during an interview with Alex Cooper of 'Call Her Daddy' in 2023. The Goop founder added it was 'major love at first sight' with Pitt. 'He's a great guy,' Paltrow told Cooper. 'He's wonderful, I really like him a lot.' She also once compared dating the 'Fight Club' star to dating a royal, as the two's relationship will forever be a source of continued interest. 'It's like having dated, I don't know, Prince William or something. That's always going to come up,' the wellness guru said in an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year. Related...

Jennifer Aniston warns of Hollywood safety concerns after man rammed car into her gate

Jennifer Aniston gave a stark warning about safety after a man rammed into her home gate. Aniston, 56, admitted her security team is "not glamorous in any way," in the September cover issue of Vanity Fair. "It's a necessity." "People are out of their minds," she added. "Who wants to put that energy out there?" Authorities arrested a man on May 5 after he rammed his car into the gate securing Aniston's home, the Los Angeles Police Department previously confirmed to Fox News Digital. The "Friends" star was home at the time of the incident. The man was charged with multiple felony charges but found incompetent to stand trial. Before driving his car into Aniston's home gate, he had been sending the actress unwanted voicemail, email and social media messages beginning in 2023. Aniston's close friend Sandra Bullock insisted these terrifying encounters with celebrity stalkers are not just a "one-off." "The Unforgivable" star once hid in her closet after a man, who had been stalking her for days in 2014, successfully broke into her home. Joshua Corbett, who believed Bullock was his wife, carried a notebook that featured photos of the actress along with poems he had written and a love letter. "It makes me think, 'Do I really have to go outside and navigate the world?' There's the cases where they got into the house, the cases where they're outside the house, the cases where you're on a film set, and they figured out where you are, and the cases that no one hears about," Bullock told Vanity Fair. "It's ongoing. It's not a one-off. And it does create a mindset where your home also, unfortunately, becomes your fortress." Aniston isn't a stranger to celebrity stalkers. In 2010, the "Just Go With It" star was granted a restraining order after a man traveled across the country looking for her. He was detained in Los Angeles with a sharp object, duct tape and love letters to Aniston, according to the BBC. "[Fame is] not real. My interests are other than that." The actress revealed her discomfort with the level of attention she's found herself receiving after three successful decades in Hollywood, admitting the fame "still hits me sideways sometimes." "You have to manage it and put it in its proper place and into its proper size. Because otherwise, if you don't… I've gone through many… I'm still trying to figure it out." The "Along Came Polly" star claimed aspects of the job have become embarrassing, including paparazzi. She even chooses not to let fame define her. "It's not real," she told the outlet. "My interests are other than that." "I've always been more into metaphysical things and 'What if there's something bigger out there than all of us?'"
