Jennifer Aniston told The Hollywood Reporter that after doing Friends, she worked hard to get into different types of acting. She wanted to prove to herself, the industry, and her parents that she’s a true actress.
“There was a period when I was on Friends where The Good Girl came to me, or [2006’s] Friends With Money came to me. I thought, I’ve got to go for it now and try to not just be Rachel Green so I can get out of the Fruity Pebbles section at the grocery and explore the organic food,” she told the outlet. “It’s a terrible analogy, but I had to get out there and do something different so they could see that I’m an actor, so I didn’t forget that I could do other things. I was lucky that happened.”
In her talk with ELLE, Aniston said that despite the hurdles she’s encountered over the years, she truly considers herself a “happy person.” She shared, “What brings me happiness? I have a great job. I have a great family. I have great friends. I have no reason to feel otherwise. If I did, I would need to go get an attitude shift, a perspective shift.”
No matter what family struggles she’s dealt with, it sounds like Aniston powered through and found the positives.
