Jennifer Aniston might easily be wrapping up the most satisfying year of her career. Sure, she has made no apologies for loving all those years she spent playing Rachel Green on Friends, but this year has been different. She took a risk by playing a stripped-down, chronic pain sufferer in the indie film Cake, and the critical acclaim has come. She has already been nominated for an SAG and a Golden Globe for that performance, and many are anticipating an Oscar nod as well. While she cares about all the award buzz enough to have hired someone to guide her through it, she could care less about the paparazzi.
Aniston recently did an interview with Yahoo Beauty's Bobbi Brown and explained how, when it comes to dealing with photographers chasing her, she now chooses not to give it much thought at all.
"The truth is you just go, 'If they get a picture, that picture comes and goes, so who cares?' Then you have 30 mean people who sit at their computers and spend their entire day picking apart and insulting celebrities about how ugly they are just so they can feel better — I guess — about themselves. I don't understand it," said Aniston.
While Aniston does not dress to impress the photographers who chase her, she admits to usually being put together decently with well-tailored shirts and jeans because it makes her life easier. She calls her look "lazy" because she just grabs stuff and goes quickly. It is kind of ironic that Aniston's daily style is simple and the role that is bringing her so much positive buzz is a woman who is plain. At least for her, simple is what is working best.
