14 DAY TRIAL // Ever since she split up from husband Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston has had nothing but bad luck in her love life. As fans must know, tabloids and celebrity blogs did not fail to pick up on this and, in almost no time, a sort of “urban myth” came to be, which has it that she’s always looking for love and is desperately clinging to whatever man that comes into her life. In the latest issue of Elle magazine, Aniston says she no longer has a problem with this perception people have of her.
This is not the first time that the former “Friends” star makes fun of the image she has in the media. Far from being upset because of the stories that run in the media on her personal life, Jennifer Aniston is now OK with almost constantly having the label “lonely girl” attached to her. It took her some time to get here, though, but at least she is now able to look at the funny side of things – not that they would change if she became upset, for that matter.
“I’m not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room. It’s fine. I can take it. If I’m the emblem for ‘this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,’ so be it.” Aniston says of the “lonely girl” label. Moreover, she adds, she wants people to know that she’s there for all those other women and men who may be in the same situation as her. “I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest and who is ready to push forward.” the actress explains.
As also noted above, Aniston has spoken before on her public image also in the same humorous tone. At this year’s Women In Film awards, held in June, where she was honored for her contribution to film, the actress joked about how her films mirrored her personal life and how people could draw a parallel between the two, and even predict her future.
“I’m trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in. It’s funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies I was doing and my life off screen. It started with, well, ‘The Good Girl.’ Then that evolved into ‘Rumor Has It,’ followed by ‘Derailed,’ and then there was ‘The Break-Up.’ And then on the lighter side was ‘Friends with Money,’ which I felt was a bit on the nose. So if any of you have a project titled ‘Everlasting Love with an Adult, Stable Male’…” Aniston said in her acceptance speech.
