14 DAY TRIAL // The latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar brings something new to the table, as compared to the same tired routine of doing a photospread and an interview with a celebrity. Jennifer Aniston does her best Barbra Streisand impersonation, recreating her most famous poses and pics, and then draws a parallelism between Streisand’s life and hers, as we also informed you yesterday.
Most fans have seen where this was going to and say that, indeed, the physical resemblance between the two is there – and so is the one between their careers, with the major difference that Aniston is no singer. Even Barbra herself was impressed by the issue of the magazine, taking to her website to say that she was honored to have this homage paid to her. She did have one objection, though, and it has to do with her legendary nose.
“I was very flattered that Jennifer Aniston chose to interpret my style with the photos in Harper’s Bazaar. She’s a delightful person, and I think she did a wonderful job,” Babs says of the stunning, mostly black and white photospread. The only objection she’d formulate for the pics, one that fans of Barbra have also voiced, has to do with Aniston’s nose. “If only she had a bump on her nose,” Streisand says. While she chose to be delicate about this, voices online say Aniston would have paid Barbra the perfect homage if she still had her original nose and not gone under the knife to fix it.
As we also noted yesterday, the Harper’s Bazaar interview with Jennifer also includes her saying what she’d do if she were to have the chance of having Barbra’s voice, and how Streisand has been a role model for her. Because she made a name for herself as both singer and actress, Aniston continues to look up to her because she’s sending women out there the message that they should always think outside the box, and not allow anyone and anything to limit them.
“Barbra inspires me because there isn’t anything she hasn’t done that she wanted to do, especially as a female in the time when her generation was prime. She’s a true renaissance woman... I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don’t do it again soon, I’m going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design. We are people who have been put in the spotlight, for better or for worse, and you just keep riding, and you keep overcoming, and you just stay true to what you love to do,” Aniston says in Harper’s Bazaar.
