(dramatic music)
2
00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:13,950
- I love work, I love my job.
3
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:14,910
I love to work.
4
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:16,950
I love to work when things are going great
5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:19,800
and I love to work when
things are going crappy.
6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,423
I just sort of love my work.
7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,503
(upbeat music)
8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,290
- [Presenter] Jennifer Aniston is one
9
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:36,333
of the biggest names in the
entertainment industry today.
10
00:00:37,730 --> 00:00:41,550
Rising to fame in the 1990s
and maintaining her popularity
11
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:45,460
with fans, she is still as
relatable as the girl next door,
12
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:49,053
Rachel Green, her character
best loved by her fans.
13
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:51,600
- I was just grateful to work.
14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,870
I honestly knew that to
be an actor is tough.
15
00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:56,860
To be a working actor is even harder
16
00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:58,900
but I was just happy working.
17
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,590
And I think that as I grew older,
18
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:04,390
I started to get more focused on the parts
19
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:05,540
that I wanted to play
20
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:08,040
and I just knew I wanted to break out
21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,379
and do other things, you know and
22
00:01:10,379 --> 00:01:12,120
this was great and I love all this
23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,810
but I know that there's
more than I wanna do
24
00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:16,010
and that I'm capable of.
25
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:20,060
- [Presenter] Going from unknown actress
26
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:22,850
to worldwide sensation overnight,
27
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:25,040
Jennifer Aniston influenced fashion
28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,970
with her stylish outfits
and classic hair style
29
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:31,190
throughout her time on "Friends"
continuing to turn heads
30
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:32,773
over 20 years later.
31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,930
Her popularity has never declined proven
32
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:41,370
by her record breaking Instagram account
33
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:43,360
and her roles in television and film
34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,003
are becoming more refined as years go by.
35
00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:51,830
A consistent fan favorite.
36
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:54,890
Jennifer Aniston is a
Hollywood household name
37
00:01:54,890 --> 00:01:56,823
who will always be there for you.
38
00:02:05,733 --> 00:02:06,760
- A little bit about myself.
39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,960
Well, I was born in
Sherman Oaks, California.
40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,463
Grew up in New York City,
41
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:14,630
went to the high school, performing arts.
42
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:18,330
Then I moved to California after school
43
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,090
and became an actress.
44
00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:23,540
- [Reporter] Became an
actress of a little TV show.
45
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:25,110
- Got a little TV show.
46
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:28,200
I like dogs, I like skiing.
47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,410
I like Mexican food,
I'm not a fan of flying
48
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:32,960
but I'm getting better at that.
49
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:39,470
- [Presenter] Jennifer Aniston
was born February 11th, 1969
50
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:42,680
in the Los Angeles
neighborhood of Sherman Oaks.
51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,560
With her father being a popular actor
52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
on the daytime drama
series, "Days of our Lives",
53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,230
Jennifer already had high
hopes of showbiz fame.
54
00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:54,100
As a child, she moved to New York City.
55
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,300
Despite her father's television career,
56
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,880
she was discouraged
from watching television
57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,580
but found ways around the prohibition.
58
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:03,010
Aged six-years old,
59
00:03:03,010 --> 00:03:05,840
she began attending Waldorf
School where she discovered
60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,910
her love for acting.
61
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:11,750
- Everybody who watches soaps
of any kind in the States,
62
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:15,370
knows her dad, John
Aniston for that character.
63
00:03:15,370 --> 00:03:18,210
So she had a really famous
dad and she had a mom
64
00:03:18,210 --> 00:03:20,540
who was also an actress,
not very well known,
65
00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:22,860
called Nancy Dow but
who she'd been a model.
66
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:25,650
So she was very pretty and attractive.
67
00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:28,090
Jennifer has spoken
openly about her childhood
68
00:03:28,090 --> 00:03:30,750
and that she never felt pretty.
69
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,590
Her mom actually, who she had
70
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:34,800
a very somewhat contentious relationship
71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,200
with over the years.
72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,310
Jennifer says, flat out told her,
73
00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:40,910
you're not pretty or your nose is too big
74
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:42,550
or you're never gonna be
able to be an actress.
75
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:44,060
You're not pretty enough.
76
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:46,950
And that dynamic had a
massive impact on Jen.
77
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:49,800
I think it still does
actually kind of growing up
78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,540
with a beautiful picture,
perfect mom and a dad
79
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:57,715
who's a famous actor and
feeling a little bit unsure
80
00:03:57,715 --> 00:03:59,533
of what your position is.
81
00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:03,120
- [Presenter] She attended
LaGuardia High School of Music,
82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,340
Art and Performing Arts where she joined
83
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:08,960
the school drama society
and performed in some shows.
84
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,590
- Jennifer from a very early age,
85
00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:12,710
had incredible comedic timing.
86
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:15,150
She's a natural in film.
87
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:17,440
She's a natural personality.
88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,680
And she went to a performing
arts high school in New York
89
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,760
which is very famous.
90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,913
It's like the school that
they made this TV show "Fame"
91
00:04:23,913 --> 00:04:26,800
about, LaGuardia High School.
92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,200
- [Presenter] After finishing school,
93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,550
Jennifer Aniston first
worked as an actress
94
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:32,620
in off-Broadway productions.
95
00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:34,890
She supported herself with part time jobs,
96
00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:37,210
which included a telemarketer, waitress
97
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:38,493
and a bike messenger.
98
00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:43,070
- There are some people in
Hollywood who are so gifted
99
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:47,910
at what they do and they
almost immediately find work.
100
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:49,780
Now, of course, the
fact that Jennifer's dad
101
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:52,940
is a famous actor would have
helped her to get an agent
102
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:56,160
or manager, maybe opened some
doors to get some auditions
103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,410
but Jennifer managed to start
working almost straight away
104
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:00,810
after she came to Hollywood.
105
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,850
- [Presenter] After moving
back to Los Angeles,
106
00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:08,110
Jennifer landed a role in the
1990 horror film "Leprechaun"
107
00:05:08,110 --> 00:05:11,210
which was considered a major
career move at the time.
108
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:13,310
However, it has been identified now
109
00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:16,500
as her most questionable
role and Jennifer herself
110
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,363
has expressed embarrassment over it.
111
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,830
She obtained her first regular
television role on "Molloy"
112
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:25,800
in 1990 and appeared in "Ferris Bueller",
113
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,997
a television adaptation of the 1986 film
114
00:05:28,997 --> 00:05:30,647
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
115
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:34,100
However, both series
were quickly canceled,
116
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,713
leaving Jennifer questioning
her acting career.
117
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:41,390
Depressed over her four
unsuccessful television shows,
118
00:05:41,390 --> 00:05:43,900
Jennifer Aniston approached
Warren Littlefield
119
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:47,810
at a Los Angeles gas station
asking for reassurance.
120
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:50,440
The head of NBC
Entertainment encouraged her
121
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,090
to continue acting and a few months later,
122
00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:54,960
helped cast her for "Friends",
123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,960
a sitcom that was set to debut
on NBC 1994/1995 fall lineup.
124
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:03,410
- It was after the movie
"Leprechaun" of course
125
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:06,390
that she auditioned for
both "Saturday Night Live"
126
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:08,580
and the show "Friends".
127
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:11,270
And she actually got the part
on "Saturday Night Live".
128
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:14,390
She was invited to be one of
the players which by the way,
129
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:16,720
is really hard to get.
130
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,440
I mean, you have to understand
like every comedian,
131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,480
like standup comic around
the world is auditioning
132
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,330
for "Saturday Night Live".
133
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:26,080
And Jennifer was such a natural comedian
134
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,570
that she got invited to be one
135
00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:30,580
of the "Saturday Night Live" players.
136
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:31,960
She's not a stand-up comic
137
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,370
but she just has fantastic timing.
138
00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:37,410
I think a lot of people don't
give Jennifer enough credit
139
00:06:37,410 --> 00:06:39,610
for the natural comic that she is.
140
00:06:39,610 --> 00:06:41,240
And the fact that "Saturday
Night Live" wanted
141
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,620
to hire her as a comic,
142
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:47,240
says a lot about her natural
ability to make people laugh.
143
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,620
Of course, right when she
gets "Saturday Night Live",
144
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:52,100
she also gets invited to be on "Friends".
145
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,400
I think it was called
"Friends Like Us" at the time
146
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,460
and she had a big decision to make
147
00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:58,900
but ultimately she decided
to take the role on "Friends"
148
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,610
and turn down "Saturday
Night Live" in hopes that
149
00:07:01,610 --> 00:07:04,010
this pilot would in fact be picked up.
150
00:07:04,010 --> 00:07:05,400
And we now know it's one of
151
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,530
the most successful TV franchises
152
00:07:07,530 --> 00:07:09,103
in the history of television.
153
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,340
- What's really interesting
is that Jennifer Aniston
154
00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:16,690
is known as a more serious actress,
155
00:07:16,690 --> 00:07:17,930
as a more versatile actress
156
00:07:17,930 --> 00:07:20,970
but really comedy was what she came up in
157
00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:23,830
and what I think she saw
herself as originally
158
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:26,490
because when she accepted
the role of Rachel Green
159
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:29,531
in "Friends", she also
had been offered a slot
160
00:07:29,531 --> 00:07:33,700
on "Saturday Night Live" so
comedy and being that kind
161
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:35,510
of person and play all
different kinds of roles.
162
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:37,160
Even though now I think people are like,
163
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,060
look at this wide array
of, spectrum she can play.
164
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:43,450
I think that was part of
the DNA of who she was
165
00:07:43,450 --> 00:07:44,600
from a very early time.
166
00:07:50,097 --> 00:07:52,530
- [Presenter] "Friends"
was extremely successful.
167
00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:55,310
And Jennifer Aniston,
along with her co-stars,
168
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,720
gained worldwide recognition
among television viewers.
169
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,030
Her character, Rachel
Green, was widely popular
170
00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:03,690
and was later recognized as one
171
00:08:03,690 --> 00:08:07,720
of the greatest female characters
in American television.
172
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,570
- When Jennifer first read for "Friends",
173
00:08:09,570 --> 00:08:12,460
they wanted her to read for Monica Geller
174
00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:14,690
which is interesting
because they wanted Courtney
175
00:08:14,690 --> 00:08:16,580
to be the part of Rachel Greene.
176
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:19,814
Both actresses looked at
that and said, actually,
177
00:08:19,814 --> 00:08:22,390
I'm more that person than the other.
178
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:24,340
Courtney Cox was the big star
179
00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:26,060
when "Friends" was commissioned.
180
00:08:26,060 --> 00:08:28,090
She was gonna be the
star and they wanted her
181
00:08:28,090 --> 00:08:29,190
to be Rachel Green.
182
00:08:29,190 --> 00:08:30,960
But when Courtney read
the script, she said,
183
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,220
actually I'm much more like Monica Geller.
184
00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:36,350
I am the kind of type A,
obsessive, compulsive, neat person.
185
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,460
I'm not Rachel Green.
186
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:41,990
Jennifer Aniston was the
perfect Rachel Green.
187
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:44,210
And so with her comic timing,
188
00:08:44,210 --> 00:08:48,270
the way she looked, kind of
this all American, every girl,
189
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:51,099
individual, it just worked magic.
190
00:08:51,099 --> 00:08:53,870
- Surprise!
(audience laughing)
191
00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:55,600
- What?
- Don't get mad
192
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,770
'cause look, this is what happened.
193
00:08:56,770 --> 00:09:01,010
So, I started packing and then
I realized, what am I doing?
194
00:09:01,010 --> 00:09:04,210
I am lousy at packing, right?
195
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,840
But you love packing.
196
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,840
So as a gift to you on
our last night, ta-daa.
197
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:14,920
(audience laughing)
198
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,020
- I'll be coordinator.
199
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:20,133
I'm so sorry, I didn't get you anything.
200
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:23,230
- [Presenter] The role
also got her nominated
201
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,970
for two Golden Globe awards
202
00:09:24,970 --> 00:09:28,850
and won in 2003 as best
actress, television series,
203
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:30,500
musical or comedy.
204
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:32,530
- Jennifer has talked
about in her childhood,
205
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:33,810
not feeling pretty enough.
206
00:09:33,810 --> 00:09:35,540
And of course she is beautiful.
207
00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:39,610
However, it was the fact that
she wasn't supermodel looking
208
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:43,050
that made Rachel Green so
lovable and believable.
209
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:44,060
If you think about it,
210
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:47,960
if Rachel Green had looked
like Gisele Bundchen,
211
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,540
the character just wouldn't
have been believable
212
00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:52,280
or funny or real.
213
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,390
The fact that Rachel Green
looked like a really pretty girl
214
00:09:55,390 --> 00:09:59,720
that maybe works in your
office is part of what gave her
215
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,593
that kind of magic X-factor.
216
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,080
Jennifer's long time collaborator,
217
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,870
Chris McMillan, has been
her hairdresser ever since
218
00:10:07,870 --> 00:10:12,180
she first stepped foot on
the soundstage for "Friends".
219
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:15,640
Chris McMillan and she have
developed a lifetime friendship
220
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,300
but it was he who initially
came up with the Rachel-haircut.
221
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,470
Now Jennifer has made
no secret of the fact
222
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:23,810
that she hated that haircut.
223
00:10:23,810 --> 00:10:26,320
She has said, I thought
it was the ugliest haircut
224
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,153
I've ever seen.
225
00:10:27,153 --> 00:10:28,610
So she never loved the hair
226
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:31,470
but of course the rest of the
world fell in love with it.
227
00:10:31,470 --> 00:10:33,020
- You feel beautiful, you feel sexy,
228
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:35,430
you feel alive and then you feel screwed
229
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:37,460
because no one has the
ability to actually do
230
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:39,400
what Chris did to this haircut.
231
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,050
And I've used to call it the Rachael years
232
00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:46,810
when I got that haircut, that was like,
233
00:10:46,810 --> 00:10:48,350
wow, this is amazing.
234
00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:52,930
And then I was totally left
with this like Greek frizzy mop
235
00:10:52,930 --> 00:10:56,330
on my head 'cause I had no
idea how to do what he did.
236
00:10:56,330 --> 00:10:58,880
No one seems to know how
to do what Chris does.
237
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,650
- I think every woman
wanted to be Rachel Green.
238
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:05,530
And what I mean by that she
worked for a fashion label.
239
00:11:05,530 --> 00:11:07,780
She had a cute, fun boyfriend,
240
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:09,740
just her storyline was so appealing.
241
00:11:09,740 --> 00:11:13,140
And I think that made the haircut
an aspirational thing that
242
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:15,311
any girl could go and get.
243
00:11:15,311 --> 00:11:17,490
[Presenter] The show itself,
won many awards whilst
244
00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:19,760
on the air proving it was a success
245
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,360
with audiences and critics alike.
246
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,337
- There's a new script every
week so that's fresh and yeah.
247
00:11:26,337 --> 00:11:27,813
- And it's always good so
248
00:11:27,813 --> 00:11:31,170
if the writing is always
exciting and interesting and fun,
249
00:11:31,170 --> 00:11:32,650
then the work will be
250
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:34,520
and we all have such a good time together
251
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,730
that we just have a blast.
252
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:39,170
- Yeah, we help each
other to come up with,
253
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:40,950
David is very good at that, by the way,
254
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:44,498
just helping us come up with
interesting choices with props
255
00:11:44,498 --> 00:11:46,830
or just other choices.
256
00:11:46,830 --> 00:11:49,370
- We also get a certain amount
of time off in the year,
257
00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:51,660
about four months so when
we do come back in the fall,
258
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:54,100
it's almost like coming
back to school and kind
259
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:57,433
of that reunion always recharges us.
260
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,120
- [Reporter] Yeah, yeah, great, great.
261
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,640
- Yes, yes for the last time,
262
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,398
we are all actually
good friends, thank you.
263
00:12:07,398 --> 00:12:08,231
Very good.
264
00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:13,850
- [Presenter] According
to the Guinness Book
265
00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:17,430
of World Records, Jennifer,
along with her female co-stars,
266
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:19,780
Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow became
267
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:22,800
the highest paid television
actress of all time
268
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,580
with her $1 million-per-episode paycheck
269
00:12:25,580 --> 00:12:27,817
for the final season of "Friends".
270
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,710
The cast also made headlines
for their solidarity
271
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:34,740
to one another regarding their paychecks.
272
00:12:34,740 --> 00:12:37,830
Long before Hollywood had
tackled the gender pay gap,
273
00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:40,950
the cast had all agreed,
they should be paid the same
274
00:12:40,950 --> 00:12:42,710
and allegedly refused to work
275
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:45,030
until they all earned an equal salary.
276
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:46,810
- They were all close.
277
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:49,360
And I think it was that close knit,
278
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,960
genuine friendships that
played out so well on screen.
279
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,200
And of course we saw
this was the first cast
280
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,750
to negotiate together so that
they all had the same salary.
281
00:12:58,750 --> 00:12:59,790
It was actually Courtney Cox,
282
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:01,140
who did the rest of them a favor
283
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:03,210
because she had the biggest salary.
284
00:13:03,210 --> 00:13:05,300
She was the big star going into this
285
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,270
but it was David Schwimmer
who actually said,
286
00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:08,650
look, let's do this as a team.
287
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:10,710
And then they'll have
to pay us all the same.
288
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:12,320
And they did and they did
that all the way through
289
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,230
and they even all agreed
if one left the show,
290
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:17,050
they would all leave and they did.
291
00:13:17,050 --> 00:13:18,370
And they followed through with that.
292
00:13:18,370 --> 00:13:21,710
They had a genuinely mutual friendship
293
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:22,900
and respect for each other.
294
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,010
- We're friends, I mean
we're six different people
295
00:13:25,010 --> 00:13:28,210
that seem to gel pretty
well and we'd get together
296
00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:30,320
and watch a show together
on Thursday nights.
297
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,879
And I don't know,
298
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,840
it just worked from the
second we met each other.
299
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,933
We're really lucky that's
all I can say about that.
300
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:43,140
- [Presenter] Her character's relationship
301
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:45,570
with Ross Geller portrayed
by David Schwimmer
302
00:13:45,570 --> 00:13:48,930
in the show was widely
popular among audiences.
303
00:13:48,930 --> 00:13:50,670
And the couple was frequently voted
304
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:54,830
as television's favorite
couple in polls and magazines.
305
00:13:54,830 --> 00:13:57,350
The constant ups and
downs between characters,
306
00:13:57,350 --> 00:14:00,320
Ross and Rachel kept
audiences on their toes,
307
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,470
including the relationship break they took
308
00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:05,130
which is one of the most
infamous scenes from the show
309
00:14:05,130 --> 00:14:07,530
which fans still quote to this day.
310
00:14:07,530 --> 00:14:09,560
- There were so many things in "Friends"
311
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,280
that became cultural
phenomenons like, you know,
312
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,980
we were on a break.
313
00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:16,880
Everybody knows exactly
what that's referring to.
314
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,300
It was more than a TV show.
315
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:19,430
It was iconic.
316
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:21,067
- [Ross] We were on a break.
317
00:14:21,978 --> 00:14:23,420
(audience laughing)
318
00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:24,823
- Coffee house?
- You bet.
319
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:28,410
- And for the record, it took two people
320
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:30,330
to break up this relationship.
321
00:14:30,330 --> 00:14:32,660
- Yeah, you and that
girl from the copy place
322
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:35,440
which yesterday you took
full responsibility for.
323
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,470
- I didn't know what I was
taking responsibility for, okay.
324
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:40,390
I didn't finish the whole letter.
325
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:42,720
- What?
- I fell asleep.
326
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,920
- You fell asleep?
(audience laughing)
327
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,770
- It was 5:30 in the morning.
328
00:14:48,770 --> 00:14:52,030
- Rachel has grown up really
beautifully and you know,
329
00:14:52,030 --> 00:14:54,480
should they've rounded her
out and given her a lot
330
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,130
of interesting life experiences.
331
00:14:58,130 --> 00:15:00,670
And given me a lot of fun stuff to play,
332
00:15:00,670 --> 00:15:04,330
especially with the
pregnancy and all of that.
333
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:06,528
I mean, you know, that's kind of,
334
00:15:06,528 --> 00:15:09,880
I don't know when we'll ever
really be done with each other.
335
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,410
It's gonna be a hard moment
whenever it does happen.
336
00:15:13,410 --> 00:15:17,143
But this do I dare say truly,
I think is the last one.
337
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,160
- [Presenter] The show concluded in 2004,
338
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,100
after 10 years however,
339
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,780
fans are still obsessed with the sitcom
340
00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:28,313
which is still watched
regularly by viewers,
341
00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:32,340
- Courtney and Jen have both
said that they're surprised
342
00:15:32,340 --> 00:15:35,770
and delighted at how well
the show stands up now.
343
00:15:35,770 --> 00:15:38,450
The fact that it's
still so popular amongst
344
00:15:38,450 --> 00:15:41,940
a whole different generation
who all have mobiles
345
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:44,560
and have all kinds of
things about their lives
346
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,910
that look really different to
how it looked at Central Perk.
347
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:49,640
Life doesn't work like that anymore.
348
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,750
No one would ever sit around
a coffee shop without being
349
00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:55,490
on their phone ever, but
the show still resonates.
350
00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:56,630
Those things are still funny.
351
00:15:56,630 --> 00:15:57,930
The things are still true.
352
00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:02,160
- [Presenter] The cast are
also still close friends
353
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,810
and keep in regular contact
354
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:06,950
particularly Jennifer and Courtney Cox.
355
00:16:06,950 --> 00:16:09,960
Calling her her best friend,
Jennifer is the godmother
356
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,120
of Courtney's daughter, Coco.
357
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,260
Jennifer has stated that
Courtney has been there
358
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:17,140
for her through the many
ups and downs in her life.
359
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:19,940
And she has slept in her guest
room for weeks at a time.
360
00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:23,850
- It's no secret that Jennifer
Aniston and Courtney Cox
361
00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:27,020
are best friends and they became
so on the set of "Friends".
362
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:29,360
They used to eat lunch
together every single day.
363
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,430
And Courtney is like a sister to her.
364
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:34,500
Jen never had a sister and
Courtney Cox is the sister
365
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:35,443
she never had.
366
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:38,900
- [Presenter] 1998 marked the beginning
367
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:40,810
of Jennifer's famous relationship
368
00:16:40,810 --> 00:16:43,310
with Hollywood legend, Brad Pitt.
369
00:16:43,310 --> 00:16:46,400
The pair were introduced
to each other in 1998
370
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,420
and went on their very first date after
371
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:50,730
it was arranged by their managers.
372
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:52,670
- Jennifer had met Brad, I guess,
373
00:16:52,670 --> 00:16:54,400
as Hollywood people meet each other
374
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,530
at an earlier stage before
they started dating.
375
00:16:56,530 --> 00:16:58,170
He was dating Gwenyth Paltrow at the time
376
00:16:58,170 --> 00:16:59,530
and she said,
377
00:16:59,530 --> 00:17:01,660
I just thought he was this really cool guy
378
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:03,800
from Missouri, seemed like a real guy.
379
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,820
They were later set up
following his breakup
380
00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:09,840
with Gwenyth Paltrow and she
was single by their managers.
381
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,690
And Jennifer said later that
she knew following that date,
382
00:17:13,690 --> 00:17:14,590
that this was gonna be
383
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:16,800
like a really significant relationship.
384
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,860
Apparently the date,
385
00:17:17,860 --> 00:17:20,740
according to her was just
really easy and really fun.
386
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:24,750
You can see why Jennifer and
Brad immediately clicked.
387
00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:28,020
They're both really down to earth,
388
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:30,820
funny people who are real people.
389
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:33,180
They're not sort of massively caught up
390
00:17:33,180 --> 00:17:34,993
in the Hollywood lifestyle.
391
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,570
- It was a massive deal when
Brad and Jennifer got together.
392
00:17:41,570 --> 00:17:44,790
Now Jen had already been
dating various celebrities
393
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:46,850
and actors and also musicians.
394
00:17:46,850 --> 00:17:48,550
She was famously was Adam Duritz
395
00:17:48,550 --> 00:17:51,380
from the Counting Crows in 1995.
396
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:54,090
So stating other celebrities was not new
397
00:17:54,090 --> 00:17:56,170
for Jennifer Aniston however,
398
00:17:56,170 --> 00:18:00,000
Brad Pitt was on a career, just trajectory
399
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,100
that was going up, up, up, up, up.
400
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,780
He'd already been of course
in "Thelma and Louise"
401
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:06,910
which had made him a household name
402
00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:09,110
and movies like "Fight
Club" were coming out
403
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:10,080
around the same time.
404
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,980
So he wasn't A-lister.
405
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,590
Jen was an A-lister of course,
406
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:14,530
for being in "Friends"
407
00:18:14,530 --> 00:18:17,880
where she was commanding
$1 million per episode.
408
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,070
So the two of them together,
409
00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:21,980
you have like the most powerful sex symbol
410
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:26,980
from the movie industry
with the most popular woman
411
00:18:27,550 --> 00:18:28,980
from television together,
412
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:30,890
it was like the ultimate power couple.
413
00:18:30,890 --> 00:18:32,160
After they were together,
414
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,340
you just could not go anywhere
without seeing their faces
415
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,560
from everything from
"People", "National Esquire",
416
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,500
every single gossip show.
417
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:40,970
It was just Jennifer Aniston
418
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,420
and Brad Pitt constantly everywhere.
419
00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:45,790
And I think that there
was something people found
420
00:18:45,790 --> 00:18:49,483
really appealing because she
was so much the girl next door.
421
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040
- [Ashley] Jennifer and Brad became
422
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,800
the first modern super couple.
423
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,480
They were really the kind of
benchmark that we use now.
424
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,210
I mean, now you'll hear about
couples they're the Jennifer
425
00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:02,400
and Brad of now,
426
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,113
they were Hollywood's golden couple.
427
00:19:07,550 --> 00:19:09,400
- [Presenter] Brad eventually
proposed to Jennifer
428
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,190
in November, 1999 and the pair wed
429
00:19:12,190 --> 00:19:15,210
in a Malibu celebration in July, 2000.
430
00:19:15,210 --> 00:19:18,803
Surrounded by 200 guests
and 50,000 flowers.
431
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,040
Throughout the filming of "Friends",
432
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,180
Jennifer Aniston had still been
making frequent appearances
433
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:26,850
in various films.
434
00:19:26,850 --> 00:19:29,360
The first of her biggest
box office roles was
435
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:33,963
in "Bruce Almighty", starring
alongside Jim Carrey in 2003.
436
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:37,940
During an interview in 2004,
437
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:40,520
Jennifer confirmed her
plans to start a family
438
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,370
with her husband, Brad Pitt,
439
00:19:42,370 --> 00:19:45,710
just months before he started
filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
440
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:49,150
alongside co-star Angelina Jolie.
441
00:19:49,150 --> 00:19:52,810
- It was very strange to be
reporting on Brad and Jen
442
00:19:52,810 --> 00:19:55,320
when Brad was filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
443
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,830
with Angelina Jolie.
444
00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:59,130
Angelina Jolie had a reputation as
445
00:19:59,130 --> 00:20:00,970
this kind of home wrecker.
446
00:20:00,970 --> 00:20:03,850
So when Brad started
working with Angelina,
447
00:20:03,850 --> 00:20:06,130
everybody was already
kind of raising an eyebrow
448
00:20:06,130 --> 00:20:06,963
and this and that.
449
00:20:06,963 --> 00:20:08,495
However, Brad was,
450
00:20:08,495 --> 00:20:12,090
he was seen as such a good
guy and the guy next door
451
00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:14,120
and happily in love and in fact,
452
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,540
Jennifer Aniston herself said that,
453
00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:19,470
she didn't have trepidation
about him working with Angelina.
454
00:20:19,470 --> 00:20:21,550
She actually met Angelina
for the first time.
455
00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:23,870
She saw her on the lot
where they made "Friends"
456
00:20:23,870 --> 00:20:26,175
and Jen pulled over and said to Angelina,
457
00:20:26,175 --> 00:20:28,720
I hope you guys enjoy working together.
458
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,410
Brad's really looking forward to it.
459
00:20:30,410 --> 00:20:32,130
I hope you have so much fun.
460
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:34,890
So Jen wasn't nervous
or jealous or insecure
461
00:20:34,890 --> 00:20:37,010
when he started working with Angelina,
462
00:20:37,010 --> 00:20:40,120
but it certainly turned into something
463
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,913
that would ultimately
destroy her marriage.
464
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,310
- [Presenter] Rumors began
to circle around regarding
465
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:48,280
Brad and Angelina's relationship
466
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,270
while filming their movie together.
467
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:52,040
However Jennifer assured friends
468
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,083
she wasn't concerned about the
pair spending time together.
469
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:59,010
- Now, "Friends" was wrapped up
470
00:20:59,010 --> 00:21:01,430
and Jen was telling different magazines,
471
00:21:01,430 --> 00:21:04,880
her plans and her plans
were to go to the set
472
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,580
of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
and have some time hanging
473
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:08,690
out with Brad.
474
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:11,430
Now that obviously didn't
happen because on the set
475
00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:14,300
of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith",
Brad and Angelina got very,
476
00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:16,320
very close and cozy.
477
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,610
- Angelina has said,
478
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,290
I would never have slept
with a married man.
479
00:21:19,290 --> 00:21:21,670
My dad cheated on my mom
and I just wouldn't do
480
00:21:21,670 --> 00:21:23,130
that to another woman.
481
00:21:23,130 --> 00:21:24,122
But she also said,
482
00:21:24,122 --> 00:21:26,890
basically they were falling in love on set
483
00:21:26,890 --> 00:21:28,880
and she couldn't wait to
get to work every day.
484
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,970
And you know, that's
where they fell in love.
485
00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:33,350
I remember watching an
interview with Angelina
486
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:35,200
after they were together.
487
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,280
And she said, I remember telling our kids,
488
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,180
this is where Mommy and Daddy fell in love
489
00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:40,470
when they were making the movie.
490
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:43,470
So she herself has said that
she and Brad fell in love.
491
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:46,790
And it was certainly the
love and the relationship
492
00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:49,820
that developed whether it
was sexual or just emotional.
493
00:21:49,820 --> 00:21:53,090
But that relationship would
derail Brad and Jen's marriage
494
00:21:53,090 --> 00:21:55,390
and put the final kind
of nail in that coffin.
495
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:58,630
- [Presenter] In early 2005,
496
00:21:58,630 --> 00:22:01,420
the faithful announcement
came that Jennifer and Brad
497
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:03,290
were calling it quits.
498
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:05,970
Despite claiming they would
remain friends tensions
499
00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:09,160
between Jennifer and Angelina were obvious
500
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,650
as it was clear that the breakdown
501
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:12,840
of their marriage had
been somewhat influenced
502
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,010
by Brad's close relationship
with his co-star.
503
00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:19,260
Angelina Jolie would later go
on to explain in an interview
504
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:21,150
that she had fallen in love with Brad
505
00:22:21,150 --> 00:22:23,650
while they were filming
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
506
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:27,230
and the pair ended up married in 2014.
507
00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:28,810
- When Brad and Jen split up,
508
00:22:28,810 --> 00:22:32,390
there was a massive
cultural shift between those
509
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:35,040
who were team Jen and team Angelina.
510
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,670
I mean, people actually
wore T-shirts in LA.
511
00:22:38,670 --> 00:22:40,410
A lot of us felt for Jen.
512
00:22:40,410 --> 00:22:44,210
If you look back at
the origins of the kind
513
00:22:44,210 --> 00:22:47,980
of worlds feeling like this poor, sad Jen
514
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:50,460
which has been this storyline,
515
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:53,940
it began when Brad left Jen for Angelina.
516
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:57,610
Jennifer Aniston represents
more than just a great actress
517
00:22:57,610 --> 00:22:59,620
with fantastic comedic timing.
518
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:03,360
She is the every woman
who has been cheated on
519
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,130
or has been betrayed or
someone left for somebody else.
520
00:23:07,130 --> 00:23:10,170
And she has become the symbol.
521
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:12,970
I don't think Jen actually
wants to be the symbol
522
00:23:12,970 --> 00:23:16,250
of every woman's sympathy and compassion,
523
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:17,950
but that has what's happened.
524
00:23:17,950 --> 00:23:20,620
Jen has been locked in this
kind of Bermuda triangle
525
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:22,380
when it comes to the tabloids with her
526
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:24,220
and Brad and Angelina.
527
00:23:24,220 --> 00:23:27,670
And Jennifer has spoken
numerous times about her desire
528
00:23:27,670 --> 00:23:30,250
to stop being a part of that narrative.
529
00:23:30,250 --> 00:23:35,250
However, the impact of the
Brad/Jen/Angelina triangle
530
00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:38,393
was felt for decades afterwards.
531
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,740
- [Presenter] After headlines regarding
532
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:44,270
her failing marriage
had calmed down in 2005,
533
00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:46,790
Jennifer Aniston appeared
as an alluring woman,
534
00:23:46,790 --> 00:23:49,370
having an affair with
an advertising executive
535
00:23:49,370 --> 00:23:51,330
in the thriller "Derailed"
536
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,950
and as an obituary and
wedding announcement writer
537
00:23:53,950 --> 00:23:56,810
in the romantic comedy "Rumor Has It".
538
00:23:56,810 --> 00:23:59,900
Both films were moderate box office hits.
539
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:03,170
She also took on the role of a
single paste-up woman working
540
00:24:03,170 --> 00:24:06,260
as a maid in the independent
drama "Friends With Money"
541
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:10,050
in 2006, which received a limited release.
542
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:12,110
- I mean, for me, it was just,
543
00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:15,640
I read the script and
I related to the part,
544
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,440
and I didn't really go
into a sort of a thought
545
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,550
of how does this reflect on women today.
546
00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:23,150
But it just was real.
547
00:24:23,150 --> 00:24:28,150
It was just a beautifully
written and delicate expression
548
00:24:28,615 --> 00:24:31,370
of human beings relating to each other.
549
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:32,903
And it felt universal.
550
00:24:34,479 --> 00:24:37,407
It didn't feel, I looked at my own life.
551
00:24:39,130 --> 00:24:40,730
I looked at friends that I know,
552
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,220
you didn't even have to go that far.
553
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:45,300
It was just, you read it.
554
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:49,783
And you said, oh gosh, that's
so true and so relatable.
555
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:53,667
- [Presenter] Her next film
was the romantic comedy,
556
00:24:53,667 --> 00:24:57,660
"The Breakup" in 2006
alongside Vince Vaughn
557
00:24:57,660 --> 00:25:00,030
in which she starred as
one half of a couple,
558
00:25:00,030 --> 00:25:03,130
having a complicated split
when both refused to move out
559
00:25:03,130 --> 00:25:05,143
of the pair's recently purchased home.
560
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:07,766
- [Vince] Fine, I'll
help you do the dishes.
561
00:25:07,766 --> 00:25:09,141
- [Jennifer] No, that's not what I want.
562
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:10,900
- You just said that you want
me to help you do the dishes.
563
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:12,810
- I want you to want to do the dishes.
564
00:25:12,810 --> 00:25:14,923
- Why would I want to do dishes?
565
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,823
- I'm done?
- What?
566
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,650
- What happened?
567
00:25:20,650 --> 00:25:21,670
- We just broke up.
568
00:25:21,670 --> 00:25:22,600
- You could stay with me.
569
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,810
- You think I'm gonna
move out of the place
570
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:24,643
and let her keep it?
571
00:25:24,643 --> 00:25:26,550
- I don't know, I'm not Colombo.
572
00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:29,010
- The only logical thing
that I can think of is
573
00:25:29,010 --> 00:25:31,580
for her to move out of the condo and then
574
00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:33,460
to pay me some sort of a penalty.
575
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:35,460
- What, what, what, excuse me.
576
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:37,380
- [Presenter] At the
time Jennifer was dealing
577
00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:40,120
with the breakdown of her
own marriage from Brad Pitt
578
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:42,030
and has notably mentioned channeling
579
00:25:42,030 --> 00:25:44,360
her own personal emotions for the role.
580
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:47,110
- You always wait for
those scripts to come along
581
00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:51,180
that are true and real
to life in some way.
582
00:25:51,180 --> 00:25:52,850
And sometimes they're really not.
583
00:25:52,850 --> 00:25:56,910
And this had really equal male and female
584
00:25:56,910 --> 00:26:01,800
and it was funny and it was
real and it had a great cast
585
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,350
and it was just all the right ingredients.
586
00:26:04,350 --> 00:26:06,160
- [Presenter] The film
received mixed reviews
587
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,160
but grossed approximately
$39.17 million during
588
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,150
its opening weekend and $204
million worldwide making it
589
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:17,263
her second biggest box office hit.
590
00:26:18,350 --> 00:26:20,397
The 2005 comedy drama
591
00:26:20,397 --> 00:26:23,030
"Marley And Me" with
Aniston and Owen Wilson
592
00:26:23,030 --> 00:26:26,010
as the owners of the
titular dog set a record
593
00:26:26,010 --> 00:26:29,210
for the largest Christmas
day box office sales ever
594
00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:31,203
with $14.7 million.
595
00:26:32,150 --> 00:26:36,560
It hit a total of $51.7 million
over the four day weekend
596
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,030
and place number one at the box office,
597
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:41,820
a position that maintained for two weeks.
598
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:45,110
- I mean, the book was like
huge sort of beloved kind
599
00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:48,920
of bestseller and it was it's
just like a simple story.
600
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,020
And then it's like,
601
00:26:50,020 --> 00:26:52,790
I guess like people just
kinda connected with sort of,
602
00:26:52,790 --> 00:26:55,490
that it was very sort of relatable.
603
00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:56,850
- Yeah.
604
00:26:56,850 --> 00:26:58,780
- [Presenter] It was clear
that Jennifer Aniston
605
00:26:58,780 --> 00:27:01,700
was becoming a popular
actress in her own right.
606
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:05,040
And breaking away from her
famous role as Rachel Green
607
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,913
which she is most memorable for.
608
00:27:11,038 --> 00:27:12,440
(crowd cheering)
609
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,920
Jennifer Aniston appeared
as the former wife
610
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,500
of a bounty hunter played by Gerard Butler
611
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,357
in the romantic comedy action film,
612
00:27:19,357 --> 00:27:21,733
"The Bounty Hunter" in 2010.
613
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,280
- Hi Milo.
614
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,730
- Fancy meeting you here.
615
00:27:25,730 --> 00:27:27,880
- Yeah, fancy.
616
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,010
I don't know what you're
up to but I'm working.
617
00:27:30,010 --> 00:27:31,650
- Oh working, me too.
618
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:33,310
- I heard you got kicked off the force.
619
00:27:33,310 --> 00:27:36,270
- What I do is I hunt down
idiots who jumped bail.
620
00:27:36,270 --> 00:27:37,980
- You are a bounty hunter?
621
00:27:37,980 --> 00:27:40,610
- Yup, as much as it pains me to say this,
622
00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:41,913
I got to take you to jail.
623
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,160
- We actually had so
much fun and just easy.
624
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,490
He's just so easy to get
along with, you know,
625
00:27:52,490 --> 00:27:53,997
we just instantly, we're comfortable.
626
00:27:53,997 --> 00:27:55,380
I've said this before,
627
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,880
there's nothing pretentious about him.
628
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,350
There's nothing, there's no
layers you have to cut through
629
00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:00,670
to get down to the guy.
630
00:28:00,670 --> 00:28:02,340
He's just there,
631
00:28:02,340 --> 00:28:05,760
just eager and excited to
be there and wants to do
632
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,290
the best so that we will
sort of have that same way
633
00:28:09,290 --> 00:28:11,740
of looking at work and
trying different things.
634
00:28:11,740 --> 00:28:14,420
And you know, so.
635
00:28:14,420 --> 00:28:16,420
- [Presenter] The film
was panned by critics,
636
00:28:16,420 --> 00:28:19,330
although it was a box
office success garnering
637
00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:22,950
over $130 million worldwide.
638
00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:23,980
- We just had a group.
639
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:24,950
We just locked out,
640
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:27,250
we just literally had a
great group of people.
641
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,957
The director is fantastic,
Jerry fantastic.
642
00:28:32,042 --> 00:28:36,303
Our crew, New York City was all just.
643
00:28:37,490 --> 00:28:38,503
You can't go wrong.
644
00:28:39,594 --> 00:28:41,610
The toughest stunt?
645
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:45,463
I would say the car, the two
cars chasing, getting shot at.
646
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:48,450
It wasn't hard, it was
just a little scary.
647
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:53,260
- [Presenter] A lukewarm
box office reception greeted
648
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:56,400
her next film, the romantic
comedy, "The Switch"
649
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,280
in which she starred with Jason Bateman
650
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,930
as a 30-something single woman who decides
651
00:29:00,930 --> 00:29:03,120
to have a child using a sperm bank.
652
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,020
- I've never laughed harder
and you can't give away
653
00:29:05,020 --> 00:29:06,900
what the switch is though.
654
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:09,870
It's really, that's half of
the thing that made me laugh
655
00:29:09,870 --> 00:29:12,140
so hard 'cause how could
this actually happen?
656
00:29:12,140 --> 00:29:14,140
We actually had a hard time
wrapping our heads around,
657
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:17,940
like how could this possibly happen?
658
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:19,710
It's so insane.
659
00:29:19,710 --> 00:29:22,480
And when you tell, when
you get pitched the story
660
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,230
which is how I first heard
it from the producers
661
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:28,610
because we came on as producers as well,
662
00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:29,493
my partner and I,
663
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:32,450
it's just, that's why we loved it.
664
00:29:32,450 --> 00:29:35,090
It was such a unique story.
665
00:29:35,090 --> 00:29:37,420
You know, it's sort of the modern family.
666
00:29:37,420 --> 00:29:40,070
- [Presenter] The film received
generally mixed reviews
667
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,850
with review site Metacritic showing 13 out
668
00:29:42,850 --> 00:29:45,363
of 30 critics delivering
a positive verdict.
669
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:50,110
In 2011, she started
opposite close friend,
670
00:29:50,110 --> 00:29:53,010
Adam Sandler as an office
manager posing as the wife
671
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:55,577
of a plastic surgeon
in the romantic comedy,
672
00:29:55,577 --> 00:29:58,860
"Just Go With It" and played
sexually aggressive dentist,
673
00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:01,760
dr. Julia Harris in "Horrible Bosses"
674
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,690
which also star Jason Bateman,
675
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:06,447
Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day.
676
00:30:06,447 --> 00:30:09,300
"Just Go With It" and
"Horrible Bosses" both made
677
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:12,200
over $100 million in North America
678
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,540
and $200 million worldwide.
679
00:30:14,540 --> 00:30:16,410
Another two of Jennifer Aniston's
680
00:30:16,410 --> 00:30:19,122
top grossing box office movies.
681
00:30:19,122 --> 00:30:21,680
- It's so fun, I mean, it
doesn't come along very often
682
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,500
to be able to be crazy with
total freedom and just be
683
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:28,890
as bad as you want it to be.
684
00:30:28,890 --> 00:30:30,890
- [Presenter] Her role in
"Horrible Bosses" is one
685
00:30:30,890 --> 00:30:33,810
of her most favored explaining
that she loved playing
686
00:30:33,810 --> 00:30:36,323
the character as the image
change was fun for her.
687
00:30:38,450 --> 00:30:41,280
Jennifer Aniston appeared
in the comedy "Wanderlust"
688
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,770
in 2012, with Paul Rudd
who had starred alongside
689
00:30:44,770 --> 00:30:47,350
her previously in "The
Object of my Affection"
690
00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:49,000
and also "Friends".
691
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,700
- We just get up and come back to work
692
00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:52,240
and be so excited to see.
693
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,870
It was a very happy makeup and hair
694
00:30:53,870 --> 00:30:55,040
and makeup trailer, wasn't it?
695
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,970
- [Paul] Oh yeah.
696
00:30:55,970 --> 00:31:00,020
- We were all very, very
happy, happy campers.
697
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:01,230
- [Reporter] And it had been a while since
698
00:31:01,230 --> 00:31:02,090
you guys had worked together
699
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:03,440
but you guys are obviously friends
700
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,800
and you've remained friends.
701
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,230
That probably totally helped too
702
00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:07,270
with the onscreen chemistry,
703
00:31:07,270 --> 00:31:08,200
it was just like there.
704
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,842
- Yeah, totally completely.
705
00:31:09,842 --> 00:31:13,840
And we've been trying to find
something to do together.
706
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,133
So this was pretty great.
707
00:31:15,133 --> 00:31:17,060
This is a fun one to get.
708
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:21,640
- It is nice when you're
playing a married couple
709
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,480
and you don't have to really
create too much of it,
710
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,000
like a fake history or
just, we already have it.
711
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,270
We've known each other
for nearly 20 years so.
712
00:31:32,270 --> 00:31:36,440
- I wouldn't call this a romantic
comedy at all, would you?
713
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,440
It's just a balls out comedy
where the relationship falls
714
00:31:43,410 --> 00:31:46,163
out, literally comedy.
715
00:31:48,510 --> 00:31:49,580
What do they take away?
716
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:53,378
I think you're gonna have
a big belly ache laughs
717
00:31:53,378 --> 00:31:57,740
and I think there's a definite
story and theme in there
718
00:31:57,740 --> 00:31:58,763
and a message.
719
00:32:00,770 --> 00:32:02,650
- [Presenter] It was on
the set of "Wanderlust"
720
00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:05,580
that Jennifer Aniston
developed a close relationship
721
00:32:05,580 --> 00:32:07,380
with Justin Theroux.
722
00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:10,070
They were frequently spotted
together after the film
723
00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:13,990
before confirming their
relationship in 2011.
724
00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:16,780
- Well, Jennifer and Justin
had actually met years
725
00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:19,360
before they got together on
the set of "Tropic Thunder"
726
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,730
which Justin wrote.
727
00:32:20,730 --> 00:32:22,560
And you know, in Hollywood,
728
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,910
most people kind of have
met at one thing or another.
729
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:27,740
So they also had mutual
friends, Robert Downey jr.
730
00:32:27,740 --> 00:32:30,590
is a friend of Jennifer and Justin.
731
00:32:30,590 --> 00:32:33,210
They got together when
they made a movie together
732
00:32:33,210 --> 00:32:38,210
and they had real chemistry
and seem to be really great
733
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:39,493
for each other.
734
00:32:39,493 --> 00:32:43,300
She had found a mature
adult successful guy
735
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:46,513
who wasn't this kind of John Mayer type.
736
00:32:47,530 --> 00:32:49,100
- [Presenter] Her fans couldn't get enough
737
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,860
of the relationship believing
738
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:54,133
that this time Jennifer was
going to get her happy ending.
739
00:32:55,090 --> 00:32:57,870
After the controversy of her
last serious relationship
740
00:32:57,870 --> 00:33:00,000
with Brad Pitt, everyone just wanted
741
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,070
to see her happy ever after.
742
00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:06,273
In 2012, Jennifer and Justin
announced their engagement.
743
00:33:08,610 --> 00:33:10,760
Reuniting with Jason Sudeikis,
744
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,210
Jennifer played the role
of a struggling stripper
745
00:33:13,210 --> 00:33:15,860
who agrees to pose as
the wife of a drug dealer
746
00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:18,600
in order to help him smuggle
drugs across the border
747
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,170
in "We're the Millers".
748
00:33:20,170 --> 00:33:22,730
- Oh, come on, relax Dorothy, Jesus.
749
00:33:22,730 --> 00:33:23,680
- We're not at the border yet.
750
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,330
Who cares what those people think?
751
00:33:25,330 --> 00:33:27,320
- It's about not drawing
attention to ourselves,
752
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,880
you little hobo.
753
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,960
- Hey, don't talk to her like that.
754
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,350
- Rose relax, okay.
755
00:33:32,350 --> 00:33:34,170
The only thing you need
to worry about right now
756
00:33:34,170 --> 00:33:35,040
is making people believe
757
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,940
you could actually be
someone's mother, okay.
758
00:33:36,940 --> 00:33:38,186
- Are you kidding me?
759
00:33:38,186 --> 00:33:40,210
No, honestly, after
doing "Horrible Bosses",
760
00:33:40,210 --> 00:33:43,070
I'd kind of feel like I
opened the door for myself.
761
00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:46,490
So I was just happy to be
able to have fun again.
762
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:48,640
There's something a
little bit on that side.
763
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,230
- [Reporter] And closing now,
are you prepared for that
764
00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:53,790
'cause I know, you're very rigid
with your exercise training
765
00:33:53,790 --> 00:33:56,140
and all of that, but
preparing for this role,
766
00:33:56,140 --> 00:33:57,120
I mean as a dancer.
767
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720
- Well that's, I had a great choreographer
768
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,770
who really just worked
with me day in and day out
769
00:34:02,770 --> 00:34:07,740
and instilled all of the right
moves that I needed to learn.
770
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:12,740
And also recovering from
an annoying knee surgery
771
00:34:12,830 --> 00:34:15,500
that I've had about a month
out month before was a bit
772
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:17,720
of a challenge but we did it.
773
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:20,170
- [Presenter] The 2013 film was hilarious
774
00:34:20,170 --> 00:34:22,960
and loved by audiences worldwide.
775
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,810
Although the film received
mixed reviews from critics,
776
00:34:25,810 --> 00:34:28,240
it did extremely well at the box office,
777
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,303
becoming a financial success.
778
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,910
2014 saw Jennifer Aniston reprise the role
779
00:34:34,910 --> 00:34:37,743
of dr. Julia Harris in
"Horrible Bosses 2".
780
00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:40,530
- [Reporter] A lot of you
guys have worked together
781
00:34:40,530 --> 00:34:41,920
before in previous films.
782
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,660
So does that make it
more comfortable on set
783
00:34:43,660 --> 00:34:45,770
and is it fun to reunite?
784
00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:48,230
- Absolutely, 100%.
785
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,808
- Yes.
- We actually only really
786
00:34:49,808 --> 00:34:54,580
but it is a luxury actually to be friends
787
00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:57,690
with these people and love and adore them
788
00:34:57,690 --> 00:34:59,630
on a personal level and then to be able
789
00:34:59,630 --> 00:35:03,910
to have worked together,
separately together
790
00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:05,233
and together together.
791
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,590
It's kind of a dream job.
792
00:35:08,590 --> 00:35:09,940
- It would be terrible if we didn't
793
00:35:09,940 --> 00:35:10,880
like each other, you know?
794
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,080
'Cause I mean, the fact
that you're doing comedy
795
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,500
you need to have like a nice free fun set.
796
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:20,360
Like there's like, there's
a good vibe in here.
797
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,840
So like the press conference is fun
798
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,240
like if we hated each
other, you'd feel it.
799
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:25,539
And it would just be argh.
800
00:35:25,539 --> 00:35:26,870
- You've seen it, I'm sure.
801
00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:30,396
You probably have better stories
about it than we do, yeah.
802
00:35:30,396 --> 00:35:32,840
- I was looking forward to doing this.
803
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,740
- It's one of the things
that the three of us talked
804
00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:36,910
about when we got on the phone together
805
00:35:36,910 --> 00:35:37,800
when they first said, you know,
806
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,770
do you want to do a sequel?
807
00:35:38,770 --> 00:35:40,180
The three of us called each other?
808
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,140
We talked about junketing
and we talked about traveling
809
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:45,750
and be like this right here.
810
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:47,160
This is part of the fun for us.
811
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,630
So yeah, it's really
rare when you find people
812
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:52,630
that you like this much and then you get
813
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:55,233
to do two movies, it's great.
814
00:35:55,233 --> 00:35:57,870
- [Reporter] What did you
enjoy about revisiting
815
00:35:57,870 --> 00:36:00,823
this character and playing
Dr. Julia once again?
816
00:36:00,823 --> 00:36:03,290
What do you love about it the most?
817
00:36:03,290 --> 00:36:05,520
What do you enjoy about it the most?
818
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,200
- I have to say I, well, I
just love her in general.
819
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,280
I think she's quite snazzy
820
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:17,380
and I love just putting on her wardrobe
821
00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:20,330
and I loved her wig.
822
00:36:20,330 --> 00:36:21,163
- [Reporter] The accessories?
823
00:36:21,163 --> 00:36:25,110
- Her accessories which only
one person really was aware
824
00:36:25,110 --> 00:36:28,773
of what my lovely necklace
really was, Mr. Jason Sudeikis.
825
00:36:30,340 --> 00:36:33,240
Gives you a little insight
into his personal life.
826
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:34,540
- [Jason] I love catalogs.
827
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,020
- [Jennifer] For me personally,
828
00:36:39,020 --> 00:36:41,040
I loved that dr. Julia was sort
829
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,280
of taking the role of what would normally
830
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,637
be a male character in a film.
831
00:36:46,637 --> 00:36:47,827
- [Jason] You mean a dentist.
832
00:36:47,827 --> 00:36:49,760
- [Jennifer] Yeah, you don't see a lot
833
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,420
of female dentists, do you?
834
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:53,550
- [Jason] I guess you don't.
835
00:36:53,550 --> 00:36:56,620
- Yeah, the woman who
is obsessed with sex,
836
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:58,760
I think it's hysterical.
837
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,530
And I find it quite amusing
because I don't think
838
00:37:01,530 --> 00:37:06,530
to her there's anything wrong
or deviant about herself.
839
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:12,390
I think she actually is
described sex and approaches sex
840
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,820
as though a chef
approaches a wonderful meal
841
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:19,030
to be made or you know,
842
00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:22,370
I think it's kind of just
very commonplace for her
843
00:37:22,370 --> 00:37:24,113
and it's sort of, it's like sport.
844
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,723
I think it's fantastic.
845
00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:30,020
- [Presenter] The film did just as well
846
00:37:30,020 --> 00:37:33,033
as its predecessor and
was a hit with audiences.
847
00:37:34,540 --> 00:37:37,950
In 2014, she also starred in "Cake"
848
00:37:37,950 --> 00:37:39,720
as a woman named Claire Simmons,
849
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,280
who struggles with chronic pain.
850
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,370
The film received mixed reviews.
851
00:37:44,370 --> 00:37:47,540
However Jennifer's performance
was highly praised,
852
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:50,590
dub by some critics as Oscar worthy.
853
00:37:50,590 --> 00:37:52,210
- I mean, I think her vulnerable spot
854
00:37:52,210 --> 00:37:55,110
was just everything that
she's walking through.
855
00:37:55,110 --> 00:38:00,110
I think her vulnerable spot is Adriana.
856
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,070
I think that's where
she kind of still feel
857
00:38:03,070 --> 00:38:05,875
that fierce protector in her come out
858
00:38:05,875 --> 00:38:08,640
which now where we've met her,
859
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,423
she's kind of just stuck
and given up on everything.
860
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,620
I find every, all of her moments,
861
00:38:16,620 --> 00:38:18,230
even all the scenes with Sam,
862
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:20,810
I found to be quite vulnerable
863
00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:24,070
and sort of just sad in a way.
864
00:38:24,070 --> 00:38:27,140
There was a good amount of preparation.
865
00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:30,100
I think about, I would
say about two months,
866
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,240
I kind of really dove in
867
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:36,410
and started just asking all
the questions and speaking
868
00:38:36,410 --> 00:38:38,860
with as many people as I could and trying
869
00:38:38,860 --> 00:38:42,250
to get the physicality in
place and understanding
870
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:44,220
what that physicality was gonna be in that
871
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,220
and making it consistent
872
00:38:46,220 --> 00:38:50,400
and understanding in the
script, what was true.
873
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,150
Was there anything that seemed off point,
874
00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:56,290
anything that's felt
like we call your bluff
875
00:38:56,290 --> 00:38:58,860
'cause we really wanted
it to be as bulletproof
876
00:38:58,860 --> 00:39:01,263
as possible and authentic as possible.
877
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:04,830
- [Presenter] The Toronto
International Film Festival
878
00:39:04,830 --> 00:39:07,560
called her performance
heartbreakingly good.
879
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,680
For her portrayal,
880
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,350
Jennifer was nominated for several awards,
881
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:13,930
proving she could excel
in more serious roles
882
00:39:13,930 --> 00:39:15,693
than she is classically known for.
883
00:39:17,660 --> 00:39:21,920
August, 2015, Jennifer
Aniston married Justin Theroux
884
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,230
in an intimate ceremony in the backyard
885
00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:26,320
of their new Bel-Air home.
886
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,920
Attendees included a host of celebrities,
887
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,600
including some of her "Friends" co-stars.
888
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,140
According to "Us Magazine",
889
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:35,970
the couple signed an
ironclad prenup agreement
890
00:39:35,970 --> 00:39:38,283
before going on a honeymoon with friends.
891
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,930
Between 2015 and 2017,
892
00:39:45,930 --> 00:39:48,440
Jennifer Aniston worked
on a string of films
893
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,810
that received average critical reviews,
894
00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:53,140
such as the romantic comedy "Mother's Day"
895
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:55,427
and the war drama, "The Yellow Birds".
896
00:39:56,340 --> 00:40:00,700
2017 also saw the end of her
marriage to Justin Theroux
897
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:02,793
which came as a shock to fans.
898
00:40:04,130 --> 00:40:06,510
- [Ashley] Jennifer's
divorced from Justin was,
899
00:40:06,510 --> 00:40:08,770
it kind of blindsided everyone
900
00:40:08,770 --> 00:40:11,670
in the entertainment reporting industry.
901
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:12,770
We didn't see it coming.
902
00:40:12,770 --> 00:40:15,610
In fact, I know somebody
from "Architectural Digest"
903
00:40:15,610 --> 00:40:17,720
who had just finished
an interview with Jen
904
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:19,770
at her home with Justin.
905
00:40:19,770 --> 00:40:23,560
And Jennifer talked about
him as if they were in love
906
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,680
and everything was great.
907
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,400
And there was no indication
from her whatsoever.
908
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,570
However, the person also
said that, you know,
909
00:40:30,570 --> 00:40:32,850
Justin appeared to have
his own wing of the house,
910
00:40:32,850 --> 00:40:35,310
his own bathroom, his own bedroom
911
00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:38,880
and there were definite signs
that they might not have had
912
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,210
a very traditional kind of
relationship at that stage.
913
00:40:42,210 --> 00:40:43,960
But we don't know for sure.
914
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,220
- He's very much a New Yorker, East coast.
915
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:50,220
Did not like fame in terms of
was not used to being followed
916
00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:51,860
around all the time.
917
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:54,270
She on the other hand was
very, very Los Angeles,
918
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:57,170
very much a household name at that point.
919
00:40:57,170 --> 00:40:58,675
And you know, very much
920
00:40:58,675 --> 00:41:02,130
in the whole Hollywood
bubble kind of vibe.
921
00:41:02,130 --> 00:41:04,780
So that I think that they
kind of put that aside
922
00:41:04,780 --> 00:41:06,243
when they first got together.
923
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:08,480
- [Presenter] They
issued a joint statement
924
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,030
to the press explaining that
925
00:41:10,030 --> 00:41:11,970
they had wished to keep things private
926
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:13,690
but since the gossip industry would make
927
00:41:13,690 --> 00:41:14,830
up different stories,
928
00:41:14,830 --> 00:41:16,600
they thought they'd
set the record straight
929
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,060
so their fans knew the truth.
930
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:21,470
Although the couple had
been very much in love,
931
00:41:21,470 --> 00:41:23,610
they had major differences from the start
932
00:41:23,610 --> 00:41:26,010
which ultimately led to their divorce.
933
00:41:26,010 --> 00:41:27,970
- So while Jen was totally used to,
934
00:41:27,970 --> 00:41:28,803
she may not have liked it
935
00:41:28,803 --> 00:41:31,210
but she was used to being
followed around all the time
936
00:41:31,210 --> 00:41:34,450
by the media, Theroux
was not used to that.
937
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:35,970
In fact, he liked to be anonymous
938
00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:39,880
and he liked the anonymity that
being in New York gave him.
939
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,070
And I think at first he put that aside.
940
00:41:42,070 --> 00:41:44,470
He put the lifestyle
that Jennifer Aniston had
941
00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:46,470
to live being Jennifer Aniston,
942
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:48,830
he just accepted it because he loved her
943
00:41:48,830 --> 00:41:51,760
and he wanted to believe
in their relationship.
944
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,140
But as time went on,
945
00:41:53,140 --> 00:41:55,820
it was just omnipresent being followed
946
00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:57,960
and no personal life was personal.
947
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,870
And that was one of the main factors
948
00:41:59,870 --> 00:42:02,520
I think really wore down the marriage that
949
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,270
and just kind of the intrinsic differences
950
00:42:04,270 --> 00:42:06,820
between East coast and
West coast in America.
951
00:42:06,820 --> 00:42:09,010
And those two vibes are just so different.
952
00:42:09,010 --> 00:42:11,070
So those things really drove a wedge
953
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:12,670
between the two of them.
954
00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:14,520
- All of us really
thought they were happy.
955
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,490
So we were really surprised,
I think as a group
956
00:42:17,490 --> 00:42:19,210
when that was announced, you know,
957
00:42:19,210 --> 00:42:21,030
Jennifer and Justin
from the very beginning
958
00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:23,870
have been adamant that there
was no one else involved.
959
00:42:23,870 --> 00:42:27,670
They parted as friends,
that they're still connected
960
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,440
but if things were really great,
961
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,910
it's hard to imagine
why they would split up.
962
00:42:33,910 --> 00:42:35,730
Everyone wants to know what went wrong.
963
00:42:35,730 --> 00:42:38,210
And I think what's mostly
been reported is that Justin
964
00:42:38,210 --> 00:42:40,340
is this kind of hipster, New Yorker
965
00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:43,420
and he only wanted to live
in the Greenwich village.
966
00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:47,420
And Jen is this LA California
girl who loves suntanning.
967
00:42:47,420 --> 00:42:50,580
And couldn't really be cool
(indistinct) and urban enough
968
00:42:50,580 --> 00:42:52,550
for Justin but honestly,
969
00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:54,110
I don't believe that is true at all.
970
00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:57,670
I think Jennifer who's from New
York has enough urban credit
971
00:42:57,670 --> 00:43:01,247
and is enough of a city
girl to appeal to Justin.
972
00:43:01,247 --> 00:43:03,600
I think it was more that,
973
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,943
you've got a guy who
maybe wants to be single.
974
00:43:08,060 --> 00:43:10,040
In December, 2018
975
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,770
Jennifer worked as an
executive producer and starred
976
00:43:12,770 --> 00:43:14,730
in the Netflix film "Dumplin",
977
00:43:14,730 --> 00:43:16,750
a coming-of-age comedy film based off
978
00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:19,180
of the young adult novel of the same name.
979
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:21,690
- Most people call me
Will except for my mom.
980
00:43:21,690 --> 00:43:24,200
Who calls me
- Dumplin, I can't be late.
981
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,880
This cannot exactly drive itself.
982
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,620
Being a bit of a celebrity
around here meant
983
00:43:28,620 --> 00:43:30,020
that she was too busy for me.
984
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:32,170
You've got a hole in
your left, by the way.
985
00:43:32,170 --> 00:43:34,217
- What, shouldn't listen (indistinct).
986
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:37,370
- [Presenter] This was
Jennifer's first project
987
00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:38,810
for the streaming platform
988
00:43:38,810 --> 00:43:42,440
which was shortly followed by
more projects the same year.
989
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,680
Jennifer appeared in "Murder Mystery"
990
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,130
alongside close friend, Adam Sandler.
991
00:43:47,130 --> 00:43:49,590
A comedy turned drama
about a couple framed
992
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:51,223
for murder on a luxury yacht.
993
00:43:53,830 --> 00:43:55,880
- Has you ever fool around on a boat?
994
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,230
I just lay here and the
boat does all the work.
995
00:43:58,230 --> 00:44:00,079
(woman screaming)
996
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:03,060
- [Passenger] There's been a murder.
997
00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:04,010
- Should we pull it out?
998
00:44:04,010 --> 00:44:05,138
- No, it's a foot long knife.
999
00:44:05,138 --> 00:44:06,480
(everyone screaming)
1000
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,150
- Will you listen to my
husband, he's a detective.
1001
00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:08,983
- I'll put it back.
1002
00:44:08,983 --> 00:44:10,394
- Don't put it back.
1003
00:44:10,394 --> 00:44:13,530
(everyone squirming)
1004
00:44:13,530 --> 00:44:16,710
- Twisted my arm, barely,
not even a little bit.
1005
00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:19,110
It's just, how do you say no to that?
1006
00:44:19,110 --> 00:44:21,300
He says, please and you say, yes.
1007
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:25,110
- It was all Jen saying, we
have to do something together.
1008
00:44:25,110 --> 00:44:27,180
I can't be a part this long.
1009
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:28,490
You're an amazing human.
1010
00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:32,640
I feel so sick to my stomach
when you're not near me.
1011
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,900
So I said, I'll only make a
movie with you so you can relax.
1012
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:40,470
- Jen is like, you forget
like how much of a titan
1013
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:42,920
of comedy she actually is.
1014
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,920
I think I kind of forgot about that
1015
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,930
but it's like she's unreal.
1016
00:44:48,930 --> 00:44:53,930
Her whit is razor-sharp like
she can never lose a beat.
1017
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,310
Adam can be saying something
1018
00:44:55,310 --> 00:44:57,740
'cause I encourage
improvisation in the moment
1019
00:44:57,740 --> 00:44:59,040
in all my films.
1020
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,940
So Adam can be improving
and take it off the rails
1021
00:45:01,940 --> 00:45:03,840
or something and she won't
let them go off the rails.
1022
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,690
She'll just bring them
right back with truth.
1023
00:45:06,690 --> 00:45:09,030
- [Presenter] This was her
second project for Netflix.
1024
00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:11,570
And the film was favored
by audiences being
1025
00:45:11,570 --> 00:45:13,790
the most watched film on
the streaming platform
1026
00:45:13,790 --> 00:45:16,080
in the US in 2019.
1027
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,880
- I think just being able to see
1028
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,640
an old throwback murder mystery.
1029
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,480
You know, we haven't, I mean,
1030
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,700
I loved those as a kid growing
up and it's just a real fun,
1031
00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:25,840
old fashion who-done-it.
1032
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,630
You know, we were from Brooklyn and kind
1033
00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:30,070
of fish out of water.
1034
00:45:30,070 --> 00:45:33,057
And there were all sort of upper crusted,
1035
00:45:33,057 --> 00:45:35,460
wealthy people who all had a motive
1036
00:45:35,460 --> 00:45:39,990
into offing the man who was offed.
1037
00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:42,880
So it kind of just was part of the story.
1038
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,480
- [Presenter] Jennifer Aniston
made her return to television
1039
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,870
on November 1st, 2019,
1040
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:50,670
producing and starring
alongside Reese Witherspoon
1041
00:45:50,670 --> 00:45:53,470
in the Apple TV Plus
drama, "The Morning Show".
1042
00:45:53,470 --> 00:45:54,303
- What's the show about?
1043
00:45:54,303 --> 00:45:55,260
- Well, I don't know how
to describe the show.
1044
00:45:55,260 --> 00:45:56,550
- No, I know.
1045
00:45:56,550 --> 00:45:58,227
- It's a morning news show.
1046
00:45:58,227 --> 00:46:01,130
- Drawing, pulling the
curtain on behind the scenes
1047
00:46:01,130 --> 00:46:04,020
of the morning talk shows.
1048
00:46:04,020 --> 00:46:05,520
- What she said.
1049
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,750
- What I said.
1050
00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:09,840
- [Presenter] It is her
first main television role
1051
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,100
since the conclusion of "Friends" in 2004.
1052
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:14,580
- In terms of the workload,
1053
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:15,850
it didn't feel that different,
1054
00:46:15,850 --> 00:46:19,500
it didn't feel like I'm going
back to television so much
1055
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,200
'cause it was the schedule.
1056
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,312
- Television has changed.
1057
00:46:22,312 --> 00:46:24,845
- Let me tell you something.
1058
00:46:24,845 --> 00:46:25,678
- Let me tell you sister.
1059
00:46:25,678 --> 00:46:26,860
- Let me tell you something,
1060
00:46:26,860 --> 00:46:28,870
this is not what it used to be.
1061
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:30,730
It used to be a lot more,
1062
00:46:30,730 --> 00:46:32,307
it was a lot easier than this
1063
00:46:33,272 --> 00:46:36,820
or maybe we're just a
little older, but yeah.
1064
00:46:36,820 --> 00:46:38,800
- [Presenter] In "The
Morning Show", Jennifer stars
1065
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,200
as Alex Levy, a veteran news
host who wakes up one day
1066
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,890
to discover that her co-host of 15 years,
1067
00:46:44,890 --> 00:46:47,380
Mitch Kessler played by Steve Carell
1068
00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:51,230
has been fired following
allegations of sexual assault.
1069
00:46:51,230 --> 00:46:54,140
She is then tasked with
delivering the news to the nation
1070
00:46:54,140 --> 00:46:56,670
while also grappling with
what her friend has done
1071
00:46:56,670 --> 00:46:59,910
and renegotiating her
contract with the network.
1072
00:46:59,910 --> 00:47:02,573
- Our life just ended for no good reason.
1073
00:47:04,030 --> 00:47:06,443
- We're in the middle of an epic rebirth.
1074
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,160
Her sell by date expired years ago.
1075
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,343
I want you to start
grooming some new people.
1076
00:47:13,326 --> 00:47:14,347
- I don't fit the mold.
1077
00:47:14,347 --> 00:47:15,180
- What mold is that?
1078
00:47:15,180 --> 00:47:16,013
- Any mold really?
1079
00:47:17,494 --> 00:47:18,560
Your show sucks.
1080
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:19,393
- Thank you.
1081
00:47:19,393 --> 00:47:20,510
- It's barely news.
1082
00:47:20,510 --> 00:47:22,710
- I want wardrobe tests,
screen tests, makeup tests.
1083
00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:25,240
We need a contract, where is legal?
1084
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:27,040
- Ready?
- I'm ready.
1085
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,520
- Most people wanna trust that the person
1086
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,723
that is telling them about
the world is an honest person.
1087
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,110
Well, a lot of stories came
out about sexual harassment
1088
00:47:37,110 --> 00:47:39,210
in the media and on these news programs.
1089
00:47:39,210 --> 00:47:41,760
And we just really wanted to address it,
1090
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,240
whether or not corporations
knew what was happening,
1091
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:45,540
whether they were covering it up.
1092
00:47:45,540 --> 00:47:47,940
And it's a big part of our culture now
1093
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,373
is discovering the truth.
1094
00:47:50,550 --> 00:47:53,238
- And it's a bit of what a
shift has taken place since then
1095
00:47:53,238 --> 00:47:58,238
for the better I think and
more of course, way more to go.
1096
00:47:58,456 --> 00:48:00,290
I think Kerry Ehrin
1097
00:48:00,290 --> 00:48:05,290
our writer really just
wrote a brilliant script
1098
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,090
and layered uncomplicated characters
1099
00:48:08,090 --> 00:48:13,090
and also sort of took a look
at this whole new normal
1100
00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:16,920
that we're all walking through in a very,
1101
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,400
not a black and white.
1102
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,900
She allowed the gray areas
to sort of be explored.
1103
00:48:21,757 --> 00:48:23,210
- [Presenter] "The Morning Show" manages
1104
00:48:23,210 --> 00:48:26,320
to more sensitively juggle the
mix of complicated emotions
1105
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,590
and motivations swirling among
the men and women caught up
1106
00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:32,760
in this drama about ambition and abuse.
1107
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,600
- That the cultural reckoning
about sexual harassment
1108
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,970
in work environments that weren't safe.
1109
00:48:37,970 --> 00:48:40,560
And I think that's, we go right into it.
1110
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,630
- You're pretty head-on
and unapologetically.
1111
00:48:43,630 --> 00:48:47,300
And also totally that was
really important to us
1112
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:50,750
that it doesn't come from
a specific point of view
1113
00:48:50,750 --> 00:48:53,025
that it's not preachy in any
way but that it's actually,
1114
00:48:53,025 --> 00:48:56,240
as we're all trying to figure out
1115
00:48:56,240 --> 00:49:01,240
what the new playbook how do
we behave in this new normal?
1116
00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:06,880
What's okay, what's allowed,
what's politically correct?
1117
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,400
- And the characters don't know either.
1118
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,090
- No.
- They're just as confuse
1119
00:49:10,090 --> 00:49:10,923
as everyone in the world.
1120
00:49:10,923 --> 00:49:13,423
- We're all figuring it out together.
1121
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:16,980
- [Presenter] Jennifer won
the Screen Actors Guild Award
1122
00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:19,220
for outstanding performance
by a female actor
1123
00:49:19,220 --> 00:49:21,500
in a drama series and was nominated
1124
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:24,330
for two Golden Globe
Awards for best actress,
1125
00:49:24,330 --> 00:49:27,900
television series drama and
best television series drama
1126
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:29,433
as the series producer.
1127
00:49:31,110 --> 00:49:33,560
After years of aversion to social media,
1128
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:38,331
Jennifer Aniston finally joined
Instagram on October 15th,
1129
00:49:38,331 --> 00:49:40,693
2019, causing the app to break.
1130
00:49:42,110 --> 00:49:46,120
- If Instagram is truly
a reliable tool to judge,
1131
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,440
engage how popular somebody is,
1132
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,250
well, I think Jennifer
Aniston could just about be
1133
00:49:51,250 --> 00:49:53,370
the most popular person in the world.
1134
00:49:53,370 --> 00:49:56,040
When she joined finally on Instagram,
1135
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,130
she basically broke it, so many people,
1136
00:49:59,130 --> 00:50:03,233
millions of people immediately
got on to follow her.
1137
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,933
- It's a new terrain I'm exploring.
1138
00:50:09,558 --> 00:50:11,290
I know it gets fun, right?
1139
00:50:11,290 --> 00:50:12,123
You love it.
1140
00:50:12,123 --> 00:50:14,330
- Yeah, we get used to it.
- Yes.
1141
00:50:14,330 --> 00:50:15,250
- You do get used to it.
1142
00:50:15,250 --> 00:50:17,160
- I'm still navigating it.
1143
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,801
Like I was, she was like, who is this?
1144
00:50:21,801 --> 00:50:23,360
- I was like, who is this?
1145
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,610
- It's Jen.
1146
00:50:24,610 --> 00:50:26,643
And she was like, oh my God.
1147
00:50:26,643 --> 00:50:28,440
- I didn't know if she knew how to DM.
1148
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,387
So I thought somebody
had hacked her Instagram.
1149
00:50:30,387 --> 00:50:33,081
So I was like, I'm gonna
report her to the Instagram.
1150
00:50:33,081 --> 00:50:34,155
And then she was like.
1151
00:50:34,155 --> 00:50:35,700
- I said, am I not
supposed to be doing this?
1152
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:38,730
- I said, no, I'm just excited you DM me.
1153
00:50:38,730 --> 00:50:39,563
- [Presenter] For hours,
1154
00:50:39,563 --> 00:50:42,600
the follow button became
inoperable due to an overload
1155
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,820
of web traffic to her account
with her first upload being
1156
00:50:45,820 --> 00:50:48,770
a photo of a "Friends" cast reunion.
1157
00:50:48,770 --> 00:50:49,603
- Oh no, no, that's what it was.
1158
00:50:49,603 --> 00:50:51,840
Someone said, I can't follow you.
1159
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,310
I'm trying to follow
and I can't follow you.
1160
00:50:54,310 --> 00:50:55,260
Barely knew what that even meant
1161
00:50:55,260 --> 00:51:00,200
but yeah just happened, just a glitch.
1162
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,450
- This is the fourth most liked photo
1163
00:51:02,450 --> 00:51:04,650
of all time on Instagram.
1164
00:51:04,650 --> 00:51:06,450
And it was just her debut post.
1165
00:51:06,450 --> 00:51:10,150
So people are still crazy
about Jennifer Aniston
1166
00:51:10,150 --> 00:51:13,653
and chopping at the bit
for a "Friends" reunion.
1167
00:51:15,230 --> 00:51:17,490
- [Presenter] At five
hours and 16 minutes,
1168
00:51:17,490 --> 00:51:20,750
she became the fastest person
to reach a million followers
1169
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:23,453
on the app, setting a
Guinness World Record.
1170
00:51:25,350 --> 00:51:27,230
At the 2020 SAG Awards,
1171
00:51:27,230 --> 00:51:30,170
the internet went crazy
over a possible reunion
1172
00:51:30,170 --> 00:51:33,530
between Jennifer Aniston and
her ex-husband, Brad Pitt
1173
00:51:33,530 --> 00:51:35,980
after the pair were spotted
getting close backstage
1174
00:51:35,980 --> 00:51:37,410
at the ceremony.
1175
00:51:37,410 --> 00:51:40,850
- Well, of course we all
saw the picture of Jen
1176
00:51:40,850 --> 00:51:43,980
and that slinky white
dress holding hands-ish
1177
00:51:43,980 --> 00:51:46,580
with Brad backstage when
she won the SAG Award.
1178
00:51:46,580 --> 00:51:49,960
And I, like everybody
else, loved that picture.
1179
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,060
I think for so many of us who
had lived through the breakup
1180
00:51:53,060 --> 00:51:55,850
with Brad and Jen and I'd
actually met them as a couple
1181
00:51:55,850 --> 00:52:00,140
and they were so in love that
I really was rooting for this.
1182
00:52:00,140 --> 00:52:01,540
You know, they're both single.
1183
00:52:01,540 --> 00:52:03,830
They both, she'd just
been divorced from Justin.
1184
00:52:03,830 --> 00:52:06,050
And he was going through
like the absolute breakup
1185
00:52:06,050 --> 00:52:09,990
from hell from Angelina which
in my opinion, was karma.
1186
00:52:09,990 --> 00:52:12,640
- [Presenter] Brad won best
supporting actor for his role
1187
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,820
in "Once Upon a Time in
Hollywood" and Jennifer took home
1188
00:52:15,820 --> 00:52:18,590
an award for her performance
in "The Morning Show"
1189
00:52:18,590 --> 00:52:20,830
but the most exciting
part of the night happened
1190
00:52:20,830 --> 00:52:22,960
behind the curtains.
1191
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,230
- What I loved about the
detail was, you know,
1192
00:52:25,230 --> 00:52:29,190
Brad was backstage from his
own win and Jennifer won
1193
00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:31,900
and they reported that
he stopped everything
1194
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:34,290
and walked over to a monitor to hear
1195
00:52:34,290 --> 00:52:36,240
and he goes, oh wow.
1196
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:39,550
And then, she's walking
past him and not seeing him
1197
00:52:39,550 --> 00:52:41,380
and he's called out Aniston.
1198
00:52:41,380 --> 00:52:43,780
And then of course there
was a photographer captured
1199
00:52:43,780 --> 00:52:45,830
that moment but it looks quite intimate.
1200
00:52:45,830 --> 00:52:48,610
He's looking at her with such love.
1201
00:52:48,610 --> 00:52:50,760
It was interesting too
then on Twitter after that,
1202
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,900
somebody wrote it's clear
that he still loves her
1203
00:52:53,900 --> 00:52:56,670
and Courtney Cox liked the comment.
1204
00:52:56,670 --> 00:52:59,900
So then you're like, oh,
okay so Courtney Cox agrees
1205
00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:00,990
that he still loves her.
1206
00:53:00,990 --> 00:53:02,750
You know, maybe her friends are shipping
1207
00:53:02,750 --> 00:53:04,370
this relationship too.
1208
00:53:04,370 --> 00:53:07,570
I think a lot of us would
like to see that happen
1209
00:53:07,570 --> 00:53:10,780
because Brad and Jen
do seem really, really,
1210
00:53:10,780 --> 00:53:12,320
really well suited for each other.
1211
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,070
And he's really been
through a horrendous divorce
1212
00:53:16,070 --> 00:53:19,010
with Angelina and I think
she hasn't really found
1213
00:53:19,010 --> 00:53:21,750
a lasting love since him
either so it would be great.
1214
00:53:21,750 --> 00:53:23,690
It seems like it would be a happy ending.
1215
00:53:23,690 --> 00:53:25,700
- [Presenter] When Jennifer
turned to walk away,
1216
00:53:25,700 --> 00:53:27,830
Brad reached out and grabbed her wrist
1217
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:30,300
as if he wanted her to stay with him.
1218
00:53:30,300 --> 00:53:33,160
A photo was captured of the
pair sharing this moment
1219
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,150
and was instantly a
viral sensation with fans
1220
00:53:36,150 --> 00:53:39,003
of the pair speculating
a romantic reunion.
1221
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,810
In February, 2020 after years
1222
00:53:42,810 --> 00:53:44,950
of hope and speculation by fans,
1223
00:53:44,950 --> 00:53:45,930
it was announced that
1224
00:53:45,930 --> 00:53:48,670
an official "Friends"
reunion would be happening.
1225
00:53:48,670 --> 00:53:51,860
The unscripted reunion
will be coming to HBO Max,
1226
00:53:51,860 --> 00:53:53,900
giving fans exactly what
they've been yearning
1227
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:57,120
for since the show stop filming in 2004.
1228
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,290
- So in February of 2020 HBO Max
1229
00:54:00,290 --> 00:54:03,890
which is the station's new
premium streaming service,
1230
00:54:03,890 --> 00:54:07,650
announced they had landed
the "Friends" reunion.
1231
00:54:07,650 --> 00:54:09,930
There's been speculation for years.
1232
00:54:09,930 --> 00:54:11,170
Is there gonna be a movie?
1233
00:54:11,170 --> 00:54:12,650
Is there going to be a reunion?
1234
00:54:12,650 --> 00:54:14,710
Is there gonna be a new series?
1235
00:54:14,710 --> 00:54:16,610
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
1236
00:54:16,610 --> 00:54:18,160
Everything's been squelched.
1237
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,060
And then with this announcement from HBO,
1238
00:54:21,060 --> 00:54:23,140
just people went mad.
1239
00:54:23,140 --> 00:54:25,660
All the original
"Friends" cast posted this
1240
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:27,190
on their social media.
1241
00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:31,470
Also they each got at
least $2.5 million to star
1242
00:54:31,470 --> 00:54:33,410
in the reunion special as well
1243
00:54:33,410 --> 00:54:36,030
as executive producer credits.
1244
00:54:36,030 --> 00:54:36,910
- [Presenter] Despite being able
1245
00:54:36,910 --> 00:54:38,890
to consistently watch reruns,
1246
00:54:38,890 --> 00:54:41,930
the demand for a reunion
has been a constant topic
1247
00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:45,088
that the cast questioned about regularly.
1248
00:54:45,088 --> 00:54:47,290
- I haven't thought about
doing, I don't know if,
1249
00:54:47,290 --> 00:54:48,183
do we want?
1250
00:54:49,764 --> 00:54:50,920
- Part of me feels like,
1251
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,450
do people wanna see a "Friends" movie?
1252
00:54:52,450 --> 00:54:53,300
- [Reporter] Yes!
1253
00:54:54,540 --> 00:54:56,920
- Well then we better
get cooking before it's,
1254
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,723
you know, it's elderly friends.
1255
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,130
- [Presenter] Although
the special doesn't seem
1256
00:55:01,130 --> 00:55:03,260
to clarify that the
stars will be reprising
1257
00:55:03,260 --> 00:55:05,400
their infamous roles, it will be bringing
1258
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,690
them all together once more to reminisce
1259
00:55:07,690 --> 00:55:10,490
about their time on the set
and all the great memories
1260
00:55:10,490 --> 00:55:13,133
they had while filming
the hit television sitcom.
1261
00:55:17,277 --> 00:55:19,860
(bright music)
1262
00:55:27,030 --> 00:55:29,360
Jennifer Aniston has stolen the hearts
1263
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,230
of many for over 25 years.
1264
00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:35,210
Her relate-ability and candid
interviews make you feel
1265
00:55:35,210 --> 00:55:38,040
like you know her, the best
friend you share everything
1266
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,160
with and empathize with their setbacks.
1267
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,620
- I think Jennifer Aniston is a lot deeper
1268
00:55:43,620 --> 00:55:46,310
and more complicated than
people give her credit for
1269
00:55:46,310 --> 00:55:49,490
because she is accessible
and funny and looks
1270
00:55:49,490 --> 00:55:50,680
like the girl next door,
1271
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,960
the very attractive girl next door.
1272
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,940
I think people feel like they know her
1273
00:55:54,940 --> 00:55:58,540
but I think the real Jen
is a much more nuanced,
1274
00:55:58,540 --> 00:56:02,133
complex, intelligent person than we know.
1275
00:56:03,170 --> 00:56:04,740
- [Presenter] On screen and off
1276
00:56:04,740 --> 00:56:08,200
her authenticity becomes
relatable to fans showing
1277
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,320
her as friendlier and more down to earth
1278
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,113
than her peers on the red carpet.
1279
00:56:13,290 --> 00:56:15,750
- There is that every girl-ness about her.
1280
00:56:15,750 --> 00:56:17,050
She's someone that you could know.
1281
00:56:17,050 --> 00:56:19,960
She could have been like
you're cool or older babysitter
1282
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,770
but then she also has that
glamor with the style.
1283
00:56:22,770 --> 00:56:24,930
And like it started off
with the Rachel haircut.
1284
00:56:24,930 --> 00:56:27,220
And these threads were just like again,
1285
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:28,920
underscored over and over and over again
1286
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,270
through the character,
through her dating Brad Pitt,
1287
00:56:31,270 --> 00:56:33,380
then marrying Brad Pitt and to her having
1288
00:56:33,380 --> 00:56:36,010
this kind of fairytale existence.
1289
00:56:36,010 --> 00:56:38,580
I think all those things
together have helped propel her
1290
00:56:38,580 --> 00:56:41,653
to be the most successful of
the whole "Friends" contingent.
1291
00:56:43,180 --> 00:56:45,080
- [Ashley] I really liked Jennifer Aniston
1292
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,830
because I think the warmth
1293
00:56:47,830 --> 00:56:50,660
and the compassion that
we see on screen is real.
1294
00:56:50,660 --> 00:56:52,810
I think she genuinely is a good friend.
1295
00:56:52,810 --> 00:56:56,510
People, there are so many
people who genuinely love her
1296
00:56:56,510 --> 00:57:01,350
in an industry that's famous
for fakes and pretending.
1297
00:57:01,350 --> 00:57:03,323
I think she's genuinely the real deal.
1298
00:57:05,820 --> 00:57:07,860
- [Presenter] Jennifer
Aniston has managed to find
1299
00:57:07,860 --> 00:57:10,740
the perfect balance between
living in the public eye
1300
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:13,870
but not being overly worried
about public perception,
1301
00:57:13,870 --> 00:57:17,173
a trade that has kept her
sane in such a manic industry.
1302
00:57:18,410 --> 00:57:21,450
Branching out to many
different genres of film,
1303
00:57:21,450 --> 00:57:24,470
Jennifer Aniston has proven
her skills as an actress
1304
00:57:24,470 --> 00:57:26,250
are extremely versatile.
1305
00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:28,210
Something that will keep
her in the spotlight
1306
00:57:28,210 --> 00:57:30,210
for years to come.
1307
00:57:30,210 --> 00:57:33,240
- I just knew I wanted to
break out and do other things,
1308
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,210
you know and this was great.
1309
00:57:35,210 --> 00:57:37,460
And I love all this but
I know that there's more
1310
00:57:37,460 --> 00:57:40,290
that I wanna do and that I'm capable of.
1311
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:45,290
So, you know, it's just
unfolded and I don't know
1312
00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:47,233
why I'm still here.
1313
00:57:49,050 --> 00:57:51,493
I just love going to work.
1314
00:57:52,484 --> 00:57:55,067
