THE MORNING SHOW star Jennifer Aniston covers ELLE magazine’s 2025 ‘Women in Hollywood’ issue photographed by Zoey Grossman and styled by George Cortina.
Jennifer Aniston Has No Regrets
Jimmy Kimmel, a hypnotist boyfriend, and an Instagram debut that literally broke the internet. The beloved star gets candid about all of it.
Jennifer on the character who’s most like her: “I would probably say Rachel, except my family had no money growing up, and she did. I want to be like Alex [Levy, her character on THE MORNING SHOW]. I love her! Not that I want to be a mean, badass b**ch, but there’s something about it. It’s fun to yell and tell someone off.”
Jennifer on the highs and lows of being a woman in Hollywood: “The best part about being a woman in Hollywood is that I’m a working woman in Hollywood, and that I get to continue doing what I love. I’ve worked really hard and I love what I do. And also that we get to create projects that are making a difference and bring in female voices—that’s a really wonderful thing that we get to do now that we’re allowed a seat at the table. Which, bringing up the lows: There was a period where we were not allowed at that table. It was thought, How adorable that you think you could be a producer or run a production company. It was a very male-dominated industry, and we still have a long way to go, but women in Hollywood make moves. We get s**t done.”
Jennifer on losing Matthew Perry: “It was so alarming and shocking, yet not shocking. [The FRIENDS cast and I] always said, ‘I hope I never get that phone call.’ We miss him. He’s missed. He was a brilliant human being and an extraordinary talent, loved deeply, and wanted happiness more than anything. It makes me sad that he never really achieved that, because he deserved it.”
Jennifer on exploring the rise of conservative male podcasters in this season of THE MORNING SHOW: “It’s like kale or quinoa. It’s the new thing: the manoverse. Someone said to me recently, ‘The good news is anybody can do a podcast, and the bad news is anybody can do a podcast.’ We all need to listen to both sides. That’s what we’ve lost. We’ve lost communication, we’ve lost sitting across a table and having a discussion that is productive, learning from each other. It feels like everyone is sort of stuck in their positions and it’s my way or the highway, and that’s just not how the world works.”
