We're Hangin' With.....

JENNIFER ANISTON

by: Lynn B.

She's our "Friend", she's married to one of Hollywood's hottest hunks and she's moving from t.v. to film with great success. The usually open Jennifer Aniston is at that career point where she can choose to refuse to answer a lot of press questions but she is refreshingly, still candid, friendly and willing to let us into her world to talk about Brad, working with crazy boy Jim Carrey and becoming a mom some day. We spoke with the Bruce Almighty co-star recently in L.A. and she was looking "real", dressed for summer much like you or your friends; black silk draw string pants, flip flops, a black tank top, a brown leather watch, 2 silver bracelets and 2 stacked wedding bands with big diamonds all the way around (okay, maybe none of the girls we know wears those….darn!) Her hair is wavy for a change and there is a hairclip in danger of falling out on one side.

AGW: How do you feel about being one of the 50 Most Beautiful people in People magazine?

Jennifer: I want to know why there are only 50. There's a lot of pretty people out there. I don't really know anything about that. It's fine. It's nice you know.

AGW: What was it like working with Jim Carrey?

Jennifer: I just watched the master at work. He said that my stillness was anchoring him but it was out of fear of what am I doing?. How am I going to match up and volley with Jim Carrey? I am enamored with him and think he's fascinating to watch. His process is complicated but he cares so much. His whole body and soul is in this movie. He took physical comedy and brought it to a whole new level for me. I had bruises and rug burns and was thrown across rooms. You didn't know what to expect.

AGW: Was it you or a stunt person?

Jennifer: That was me. Everything is me. There's never a stunt person. You start the day and Jim says 'Have you ever done a wrestling flip?' No, do I look like someone who has done a wrestling flip? He says 'It's going to be hilarious and I'm going to put my hand here and you're going to flip'. For some reason you just say yes.

AGW: We heard Jim's version but what went on with that report that Jim saved your life on set?

Jennifer: A big screen that they had over the grassy area that was shading the sun started falling on extras. I wasn't even there. I was off to the side but Jim went in there to check and see. It knocked a whole tree over and it was a windy day. All of these people went screaming out of the way.

AGW: This film has a lot of heart and spirituality. Do you think about those issues?

Jennifer: I'm not a religious person but I hope to consider myself a spiritual person whatever that means to the individual. That's why I liked the idea of what this movie was saying.

AGW: Can you talk about why "Friends" is ending and we've heard that when the show ends, you want to become a mom. Can you set the record straight?

Jennifer: The show is ending because the show is old. Meaning we're old. It's been 10 years and that's plenty. How many times can you go back to a coffee house as you're entering your 30's? It just feels like it's done and played itself beautifully till the end. It's better to go out with people still loving us. I'm ready and I would love to start my family when it's done. That's what I'd like to do.

AGW: Why will you be a good mom?

Jennifer: I am patient. I am a nurturer, oh my gosh to a fault I'm sure. I'm a worrier to a fault. I'm patient to a point.

AGW: When Brad is shooting far away (like Malta on his Alexander the Great film) how do you keep the relationship alive?

Jennifer: You get on an airplane. It's hard. It's a weird, weird thing that we do. We have to leave our spouses. This is an epic huge movie so it's different. He goes away on a lot of his movies although we've been lucky because he's only had Spy Game and that was for a short period of time.

AGW: Is it cool, though, to know that you have enough money to just fly to Malta anytime you want to or buy gifts for all your friends?

Jennifer: It's sort of such a very slow transition. I came from a place with no money. We weren't rich at all. Until my dad started working on soap operas he was a door to door salesman so it's definitely a different lifestyle than I grew up with where I had to worry. When I grew up, my mom and I would go to eat and I couldn't order a soda. It was definitely a shift and that's why I love treating people and I love buying gifts for people. Not that I'm extravagant at all but I love to do that and it makes me happy, I think it's amazing not to have to think about that and not a day goes by that I don't think about it.

AGW: You've said that Brad taught you to go with the flow. Was he always like that or did you learn that together?

Jennifer: I think we learned it together. I think we learned it when we met. Trust in whatever the big picture is. We'll remind each other. There are certain things I'll get worked up about and he will ground me. It's sort of good balancing.

AGW: We've also heard that you have a crush on Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. True?

Jennifer: [blushing] Can you see my cheeks? I can't stop smiling. I love the Foo Fighters and I loved them since Nirvana. I think they're amazing. He's a funny guy. [I've liked him since] the first time I saw the video on the airplane where he plays the different characters. I loved that song and thought it was amazing and ever since then I thought they were kind of awesome. I was slightly goo goo gah gah and I felt slightly embarrassed about that.

AGW: Is music important in your life?

Jennifer: It's very important. It's like a bookmark in your life with certain songs that will bring you back to a time and place and memories. With movies it helps you on jobs. I listened to this one album on The Good Girl over and over and over again. Falling in love and high school. Then I'll go through periods in my life where I won't listen to music at all. I'm never up on music. I'm sitting there half the time wondering 'who are these people?'.

AGW: When you are listening to music, who, other than Foo Fighters, do you like to listen to?

Jennifer: I've been loving Missy Elliott. I also love when you go through periods where you listen to old music. I love that Jackson Browne song "Doctor, My Eyes"

AGW: Do you still have Karaoke nights with your friends?

Jennifer: Karaoke is Courteney [Cox-Arquette]. She's the karaoke queen. We've partaken though. I don't get up there. I sit in the back and get harassed by Courteney to get up there. She's relentless. Brad gets up there. David Arquette is brilliant and Courteney gets up there and just belts it out at the top of her lungs and is just a show unto herself. She's amazing.

AGW: Do you have a must see TV schedule for yourself?

Jennifer: I can't say that I've done "American Idol" like everybody else but I loved "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here". I loved how shocked they were at what was happening to them. Melissa [Rivers] was so offended that they were getting messed with. What did you think was about to happen? That was hysterical. Then there was "Hot or Not Hot" and I went 'ok we've reached an all time low. I can't watch this one' so that one I turned off. I'm a reality TV fan and I also like the Discovery channel and Biographies.

AGW: Is it bittersweet to say goodbye to Rachel?

Jennifer: Oh it's going to tear me apart to say goodbye. It's been a part of me for so long, for almost ten years. I can't even imagine it. I'm the weeper. Someone asked how I would like the show to end and I didn't even answer the question because I was just thinking 'it's the end'.
