She’ll probably always be most famous for Friends, but there are actually dozens of Jennifer Aniston movies and TV shows you’re probably missing out on.
Aniston was an unknown actor before Friends turned her and her co-stars into superstars virtually overnight. Speaking about that time in her life with People, Aniston said that she and the Friends cast getting their first People cover was, “the most exciting thing on the planet.”
“Nothing was not exciting. Everything was exciting.” She added, “Everything’s still exciting. It’s just there’s a little bit more behind us. We’ve had more experiences. We’ve learned more lessons.”
The “more behind us” Aniston was referring to includes life experiences, of course, but also professional ones. Since getting her start on Friends, Jennifer Aniston has starred in movies and TV shows like Bruce Almighty, The Break-Up, Horrible Bosses, and The Morning Show, just to name a few.
