Jennifer Aniston Was Told to Lose 30 Lbs. Before Friends
It doesn’t get more A-list than Jennifer Aniston. But before she became a bankable film star gracing countless magazine covers, she was just another young, working actress in an industry with impossibly high beauty standards, according to a new book in honor of Friends‘ 25th anniversary.
“She had to lose thirty pounds if she wanted to stay in Hollywood,” Saul Austerlitz writes in Generation Friends: An Inside Look at the Show That Defined a Television Era. “Los Angeles was a tough place to be an actress — it was a tough place to be a woman — and Jennifer Aniston’s agent was reluctantly leveling with her.”Aniston had gotten a call-back and been instructed to wear a leotard.
It’s an anecdote that Aniston has shared before. In a 1996 cover story for Rolling Stone, she revealed her pre-fame guilty pleasure snack of choice and said she didn’t resent her agent for his potentially offensive feedback. Years later, she told PEOPLE that size aside, she was grateful the moment prompted her to make healthier choices.
