Jennifer Aniston, 52, shares with Drew Barrymore: ‘Embracing age means embracing yourself and forgetting about judgment’
Chilling in style: During a chat with Drew Barrymore at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles, Jennifer Aniston shared that portraying Alex on The Morning Show has done wonders for her mental well-being, surpassing the benefits she gained from years of therapy.
Jennifer Aniston, the former partner of Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, shared that she is not bothered by people’s opinions of her playing a fierce character on the Apple TV+ series. She mentioned that she no longer cares about judgments, expressing a lack of concern for what others think.
The second season of The Drew Barrymore Show began on Monday, where Drew Barrymore asked Jennifer Aniston about her role in The Morning Show. Barrymore praised Aniston’s acting performance in the series and inquired about the inspiration behind her portrayal.
Aniston explained that her role in The Morning Show allowed her to confront and address certain unresolved issues and aspects of herself that she had previously ignored. She described the experience as a form of therapeutic release, surpassing the benefits of traditional therapy that she had undergone for many years.
Counselling: The star of We’re The Millers described acting as a form of therapy that surpassed any sessions with an actual therapist. She found it liberating to tap into emotions she had repressed, allowing herself to experience the release of screaming and letting out pent-up frustrations in front of a large crew. In the past, she struggled to express her emotions in this way, preferring rational discussions over confrontations. She realized that bottling up her feelings only led to shutting down emotionally, while letting them out through acting brought a sense of relief and catharsis.
Jen’s character on the show: When Drew inquired about whether Levy is based on herself or if she infused some personal truths into the character, Jennifer responded by saying it’s a mix of both. She explained, “Alex Levy represents someone, maybe even someone specific, who I’ve come across in my life,” said the actress.
Aniston recently introduced her new hair care line, LolaVie, as a way to make some extra money. She expressed feeling like she has reached a point in her life where she doesn’t care about others’ opinions. “There is a certain freedom that comes with age where you just stop caring,” she shared. Her friend Drew Barrymore chimed in, expressing gratitude for Aniston’s openness as it resonates with many. The conversation also touched on their mutual friend, Adam Sandler, with Aniston having collaborated with him on films like Just Go With It and Murder Mystery, while Barrymore and Sandler have worked together on The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
