9 Reasons Why Jennifer Aniston Will Always Have a Special Place in Our Hearts

Jennifer Aniston’s humble and approachable demeanor has made her a beloved figure to fans globally. Despite her worldwide fame, Aniston maintains a down-to-earth personality, making her approachable and easy to talk to. However, beyond her well-known interests in yoga and philanthropy, there are many intriguing aspects of Aniston’s life that may surprise people. So, we’ve compiled a list of lesser-known facts about the iconic Rachel Green of Friends.

1. She makes children’s lives happier and easier.

For more than a decade now, Jennifer Aniston has visited St. Jude Children’s Hospital to help kids who are sick with cancer. She even keeps in touch with the families she meets there. Children love and wait for her, not because she’s a celebrity, but because she has a generous personality.

Aniston says that she started doing everything she could because they’re little heroes. She said, “You see these little miracles walking through something that no child should ever have to be walking through.”

2. Aniston hated her famous haircut.

The legendary haircut Rachel Green sported on Friends became a symbol of the ’90s, and every girl wanted to rock this style. However, Aniston once admitted that she actually disliked her famous cut, saying, ’’How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen."

3. She supports many non-profit organizations.

Aside from being talented and beautiful, Aniston is also known for her kind heart. What’s more, her friends call her ’’mamma’’ because of her generosity and genuine care for others. Aniston has supported a number of charities over the years, including raising money for children’s hospitals. She continues to use her fame to raise awareness for a variety of important issues, such as fighting against racism and supporting women’s rights.

4. She shows us how to be happy and never give up.

It’s truly amazing how great Jennifer Aniston looks at age of 51, but she explains that happiness is the main key and it’s a choice. She has her own philosophy on life and is not one to worry or suffer: “It’s my way; it’s what I’ve been given this round. But I would say I don’t find that any of my past has given me a reason to harden up and create a shell or a wall of ’no more, that’s it, I’m closed.’”

In regards to the question of what she’d say to the younger version of herself if she could go back in time, Aniston responds: “Just wait till you’re 50. It’s going to be amazing.” She appreciates her age and is not sad that people get old. The actress just creates a special relaxed atmosphere around herself, and her smile and sense of humor make people fall in love with her.

5. She fights for women’s rights and freedom.

Aniston tries to explain to society that if you’re not a mother, it doesn’t mean that you’re less of a woman: “I don’t like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women — that you’ve failed yourself as a female because you haven’t procreated. I don’t think it’s fair.” You still take care of pets, friends, friends’ children. And there’s nothing criminal about wearing a bikini at 80 if you want."

For Aniston, one of the most important things women can do is support each other. She says that we need more female screenwriters because we need more female stories. Their stories are incredible too.

6. She has a lot of insecurities.

In her teenage years, Aniston had learning difficulties that made her feel less clever than other kids. When she later discovered that these problems were caused by dyslexia, she was relieved. But this was not the only source of Aniston’s insecurities.

Her troubled relationship with her mother caused her to feel bad about her physical appearance. The Friends star said that her mom was ’’very critical’’ of her, and she always felt like she wasn’t pretty or good enough for her.

7. She has the ability to always be there for you.

The cultivation of friendships is crucial for Jennifer Aniston. To “be there for you” is not just a line from the Friends theme song — it’s a real thing. According to her, if we support those beautiful women when they’re young, they’ll support you as you get older.

One of the most powerful things, according to Aniston, is the fact that she was able to develop friendships with people over the course of 30 years. She has lots of friends who are with her through both good and bad days.

8. She stays wise when relationships are over.

Aniston shares that when a relationship ends, it’s important to have “closure.” It works for romantic relationships and friendship: “You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.”

Not so long ago, she had an online reunion with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Aniston was smiling the whole time and we feel happy that they managed to maintain a friendly atmosphere.

9. She stays humble.

Although Jennifer Aniston has become one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, she still is humble, doesn’t like to show off, and treats her fans very kindly. She doesn’t feel overwhelmed, but most of the time, she “genuinely enjoys the exchange.”

It’s no wonder that with this kind of attitude, she continues to serve as a role model for many young girls.

10. She didn’t have a good relationship with her mother.

Jennifer’s mom, Nancy Dow, was an actress and model. She starred in many shows, including The Beverly Hillbillies and the iconic The Wild Wild West. Dow’s occupation strongly influenced the way she raised her daughter. “She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was,” says Jennifer.

After her parents split up, Jennifer was left with her mother. The relationship worsened as Nancy tended to neglect her daughter’s emotions. However, after Jennifer got divorced, she and Nancy started re-building their relationship. Speaking about their reunion, Jennifer said, "It’s been really nice. It’s crazy what, you know, your life kind of being turned upside down will lead you to.

Jennifer Aniston’s success isn’t solely attributable to her acting abilities, but also her charming personality. Additionally, she’s considered an icon for her fashion choices and for her gorgeous, natural hair, which she’s always proudly displayed.
