Jennifer Aniston insists she is not glamorous. The 49-year-old movie star – last seen in the film Dumplin’ – insisted she is naturally more casual and it takes her a very long time to look the way she does on a red carpet. ‘Me glamorous? This takes a couple of hours to do,’ said the Friends vet.
She relies on hairstylist Chris McMillan and makeup artist Angela Levin. Her stylists are sisters Nina and Clare Hallworth. And she said her godchildren know her as something besides a Hollywood glamour queen.
‘They don’t know me as a glamorous person at all. They come over on the weekend – we call it Sunday Fun Day and it’s sort of a fun, magical place for them to visit. It’s all sweatpants, jeans and flip-flops,’ said the estranged wife of Justin Theroux. The Cake actress thinks it’s funny when she’s praised as a beauty icon because she feels insecure and still has moments of feeling low about herself.
She said in a recent interview: ‘I always chuckle inside when someone says something like that because I’ve never thought of myself that way. ‘I didn’t grow up being perceived that way and I’ve certainly had many moments in my life where I didn’t feel good enough or pretty enough or anything enough, where I felt horrible about myself. ‘But you just have to go through those periods and get stronger and realise how you are perceived really has to do with how you feel about yourself more than anything else.’
Jennifer also talked about her role as a godparent. The Along Came Polly actress is proud to have been chosen to offer spiritual guidance to many of her friends’ kids, but she doesn’t think they need her to give them any advice as they’ve been raised ‘the right way’.
‘They’re really extraordinary kids – they’re all products of my girlfriends, who are women whom I’ve been in love with for 25, sometimes 30 years, who have brought them up the right way,’ said the ex-wife of Brad Pitt. ‘I don’t give them advice because I don’t need to. I don’t really give them anything except candy and a lot, a lot of love.’
