Jennifer Aniston Reveals Father Advised Different Career Path

Jennifer Aniston revealed on the "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" podcast that her father, John Aniston, initially discouraged her from pursuing acting due to the inevitable rejection she would face. John Aniston, who had studied medicine in Greece before becoming an actor, had a long career on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" until his death in 2022. Jennifer also expressed a strong interest in reprising her comedic role as Dr. Julia Harris from the "Horrible Bosses" franchise, emphasizing her belief that comedy is essential in life. Additionally, she shared her aspiration to perform in a Broadway play, although finding the right project and time remains a challenge. Separate from her career insights, Jennifer has been experiencing a positive shift in her personal life, reconsidering marriage due to the supportive relationship she has with wellness coach Jim Curtis, contrasting her previous views shaped by her parents' troubled marriage. Despite this, she acknowledges ongoing challenges in balancing personal needs within relationships.
