With age, Aniston has gained more confidence, especially in her 30s and now 50s. “Discovering who you are makes everything fall into place,” she shared in a previous conversation with Diane Sawyer. Her years in the limelight taught her to live for herself rather than worrying about public opinion. “You can’t control how others perceive you, so why not pursue your happiness?” she remarked in a 2010 interview with WWD.
Embracing this mindset, let’s look at five occasions when Aniston nearly bared it all without concern for others’ opinions.
