40 Things We Never Knew About Jennifer Aniston

As one of the most popular celebrities in Hollywood, there have been thousands of news stories written about Jennifer Aniston over the years. But how well do we really know the Friends star? Well, it turns out, not at all. Here are 40 little-known facts about the actress that are bound to surprise you.

40. She was in four failed sitcoms before making it big with Friends

Aniston was no stranger to sitcoms before appearing on Friends. In fact, she starred in four short-lived comedy shows before landing her big break. They were Molloy, a small-screen adaptation of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Muddling Through and The Edge.

39. She starred in a Tom Petty music video

Alongside her film and TV work, Aniston has also appeared in a handful of music videos. These include promotions for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1996 song “Walls (Circus),” and Melissa Etheridge’s “I Want To Be In Love” in 2001. And, naturally, she also starred in the video for The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There For You” alongside her fellow Friends cast.

38. She was a goth

Aniston has become known for her girl-next-door good looks, but she used to rock an edgier style. In 2016 she told People magazine, “High school was tragic. Just not well informed. You know, you’re experimenting. It was the ’80s and I looked like a goth nightmare. I wasn’t going for the most beautiful. It was, ‘How can I be the most rebelliously unattractive?’”

37. She swapped a romantic honeymoon for a friends trip

After her 2015 wedding to Justin Theroux, Aniston opted for a group trip rather than a traditional honeymoon. The happy couple celebrated their marriage with friends, including Courteney Cox and Chelsea Handler, at Bora Bora’s Four Seasons Resort. Later, Theroux told Extra TV, “It was a fantastic honeymoon. We had thought about it; we could just do a normal honeymoon, or we could go with some friends, keep the party going, relax and have fun.”
