Jennifer Aniston is a woman I have great respect for and really admire.
She has faced many challenges in her career and has sacrificed a lot for being in the spotlight. While some people might think it’s just part of the job, having your romantic life analyzed in gossip magazines isn’t really what anyone hopes for.
I believe Jennifer has really aged beautifully. It seems like she’s gotten even more stunning, balanced, and wise as the years go by. At 52, she’s definitely more than just how she looks, but I really enjoy it when she goes for a more natural style, which she does every now and then.
That’s why when I stumbled upon some pictures of Jennifer without makeup showing a mark on her face, I was very surprised to learn the real truth behind the photos …
Jennifer Aniston seems like someone who has it all – she’s one of the top-earning actresses globally and enjoys a lifestyle that most people can only imagine.
But she actually knows a thing or two about hard work – nothing has come for free in Jennifer’s life.
Jennifer Aniston was born in 1969 in Sherman Oaks, which is a part of Los Angeles. Acting ran in her family since both of her parents were involved in the entertainment world.
But that didn’t mean a free ride to Hollywood for Jennifer. As a child, she moved to New York and discovered acting after entering a Waldorf school.
Jennifer’s dad, John Aniston, who was a well-known actor back then, didn’t always support her dreams of acting. Sometimes, he even made her skip watching TV.
I went to the Rudolf Steiner School, where they suggested that kids shouldn’t watch TV. But I would totally sneak it whenever I could. It’s funny how you get really into things your parents say you shouldn’t do, right? Jennifer shared this during an interview back in 2007.
Jennifer struggled in high school and the teachers threatened to kick her out.
”It was the school part of high school that I really had a problem with. Otherwise there were some great times,” she said.
Jennifer Aniston jobs
As an upcoming actress, Jennifer had several ”normal” jobs. She worked as a waitress, telemarketer and bike messenger – trying to make ends meet.
I had left my hometown. I tried out for six TV shows, but none of them worked out. For years, I worked as a waitress in New York before I finally got a break. I even tried being a telemarketer selling time-shares in the Poconos, but I didn’t sell a single one. I was really bad at it. I kept thinking, ‘Why do we have to bother people during dinner?’ she shared with Harpers Bazaar.
After several unsuccessful efforts in various films and series, Jennifer finally got rewarded for all the hard work.
As everyone knows, Jennifer got her big break when she was cast for ”Friends” in 1994. She plays Rachel Green and the series would go on to become one of the most popular comedy series ever.
Before I got the chance to be on Friends, I had around seven hundred shows that didn’t work out. I really didn’t think Friends would be any different. Just before it premiered, our director, Jimmy Burrows, who I like to call Papa, took all six of us to Las Vegas. We had dinner together, and he told us, “You have no idea what’s coming your way. Make sure to look out for one another,” Jennifer mentioned.
Her character Rachel became known as one of the best female roles in American TV history. Because of “Friends,” Jennifer turned into one of the highest-paid actresses globally and even got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She became even more famous when people found out she was dating one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Brad Pitt.
The couple met in 1998 and married two years later. Every millimeter of their marriage was covered in the press and many saw their relationship as the ultimate love story.
Sadly, the couple divorced just five years after the wedding, prompting intense speculation about why their relationship ended.
A lot of people thought that Brad was cheating and that he wanted to end his marriage because Jennifer didn’t want to have kids with him.
In 2005, Jennifer hit back at the rumors.
“I’ve never in my life said I did not want to have children. I did and I do and I will! … I would never give up that experience for a career,” Jennifer told Vanity Fair.
Jennifer’s divorce from Brad Pitt was definitely tough for her. Going through a breakup and dealing with all the rumors wasn’t easy at all. However, looking back, Jennifer has shared a lot about their time together, describing it as “beautiful but complicated.”
Brad Pitt has also spoken out about their marriage and his feelings for Jennifer Aniston.
Jen is a super kind, funny, and caring person who is still my friend. I really appreciate our friendship and think it’s very important, he shared with Reuters in 2011.
Jennifer’s marriage to Brad Pitt is now a thing of the past, and she has moved forward with her life. Throughout the years, she has graced the covers of many popular magazines, including a famous photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar. People often consider her one of the most beautiful stars in the world.
But in recent years, Jennifer has spoken openly against the appearance fixation that exists in the entertainment industry. She has criticized the objectification of women in Hollywood and in the tabloids.
The way we judge and treat women is really crazy and upsetting. How the media shows me is just a sign of how we view and represent women overall, based on some messed-up idea of what beauty should be. she wrote in an essay for The Huffington Post.
Many Hollywood celebrities have started to show their natural faces without makeup, which has become a popular trend.
Jennifer has also shared her natural beauty, and she looks just as stunning without any makeup. Check out the no-makeup selfie she posted on her Instagram last year!
Jennifer received a lot of compliments for her picture and ended up with more than 3 million likes. I totally get it – it’s really important for celebrities to remind us that they’re just regular people too.
This year, Jennifer has continued to post pictures of herself without makeup and urged people to wear masks.
A few years ago, however, many of Jennifer’s fans became worried when a picture was published of her without makeup where you could see a large wound over her cheek.
It sparked a lot of rumors, but luckily it was quickly revealed that the scar wasn’t real. The picture was taken while filming the movie Cake, where Jennifer portrays a woman dealing with chronic pain. This character ends up with a big scar from a car accident.
Jennifer enjoyed doing a role without having to use a lot of make-up.
It felt really strong and freeing to add scars to my face. The only time I needed to sit in the makeup chair was just to get those scars on. she told E!Online.
Jennifer did an amazing job in the movie! Her performance got a lot of good reviews. In fact, her role in Cake earned her nominations for both the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Golden Globe Award.
Jennifer Aniston is an incredibly beautiful person and a super talented actress, with or without makeup. Thanks for all the laughs and amazing performances throughout the years!
