Jennifer Aniston is said to have a strong desire to pursue her ultimate dream of stepping into the director’s chair. According to a source, the 51-year-old actress is considering taking the leap after receiving accolades for her performance in the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. Despite already directing two short films and a segment of the Lifetime movie Five, Aniston is eager to further explore this new territory.
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly setting her sights on a new goal: directing. After the success of “The Morning Show,” where she starred and served as an executive producer, sources say she has gained the confidence to pursue her dream of working behind the camera. Winning a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the series earlier this year has motivated her to take the next step in her career. Aniston, who reunited with Reese Witherspoon onscreen in the show, is said to believe that directing is her true calling.
According to an insider from Us Weekly, the 51-year-old actress is feeling great after her success in The Morning Show, a dramatic TV series on Apple TV+. Recently, she opened up about how she thought about quitting Hollywood after a disappointing project drained her energy. During an episode of the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, she revealed that she had considered leaving the industry as a ‘fantasy’ over the last two years. Jennifer shared that one particular project, which happened before The Morning Show, made her seriously think about walking away from Hollywood. Describing it as a draining experience that made her question her passion for acting, she admitted, “I don’t know if this is what interests me.”
Incredible: Jennifer Aniston received a Screen Actors Guild Award earlier this year for her role in The Morning Show, marking her first win since her Friends days. She is now focusing on expanding her brand. When Jennifer first joined Instagram last November, she quickly gained a million followers, breaking the record previously held by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It only took her five hours and 16 minutes, as confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records. With over 35 million followers now, Jennifer is receiving business offers to leverage her large social media following. Despite her past marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, she is currently feeling the happiest she has ever been. In contrast, Brad Pitt is still in the midst of a prolonged divorce process with Angelina Jolie, whom he famously left Jennifer for in 2005. Jennifer has multiple projects lined up, including an upcoming comedy film written and directed by Sophie Goodhart, a staff writer on Sex Education.
The dynamic duo reunited on-screen in her new series, where Reese Witherspoon made a guest appearance as her sister on Friends. She is set to star in Hail Mary as Denise White, the former Miss Oregon USA who later founded a successful sports management firm. The sitcom icon is gearing up to join her Friends’ co-stars for a special unscripted reunion, although a filming date has not yet been confirmed. Originally planned for HBO Max’s launch in May, the reunion was postponed due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Just last month, she made a guest appearance on the SmartLess podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, her fellow sitcom stars.
On the internet, there is a celebrity with more than 35 million Instagram followers who has been offered business opportunities to make the most of her large social media following, according to a source from Us Weekly. Jennifer revealed that she has considered leaving acting in the past two years, a thought that never crossed her mind before. She mentioned, “After completing a project that drained me, I questioned if this is truly what I want to do.” “It was a project that was rushed and unprepared, one of those experiences where you swear never to repeat. But I found myself stuck with an unfinished script and dedicated three months of my life to the production,” she added.
