Jennifer Aniston - January 2002 edition - In Style Magazine
She's with the band
Jennifer Aniston on letting her hair down in 'Rock Star', life as Mrs
Pitt and saying goodbye to 'Friends'.
By Sean Foley
The first question has to be about the hair. It was the hair, after
all, that originally made her famous back in 1994 - that layered,
rounded cut that curved just so under the chin - then symbolised the
new stage in her life when she chopped it off into a bob after getting
married to perhaps the sexiest man alive. And the hair has a big role
in her new movie. So, Jen, what is it? Champagne? Lemon juice? What's
the secret ingredient?
'It's called Mane and Tail,' says Jennifer Aniston.
Mane and Tail? That sounds a bit like... horse shampoo. 'Well,' she
laughs, 'you see how long and thick their tails are, right?'
Let no one say that Aniston is a girl who's not willing to try
something new. And after they see her in Rock Star, the Stephen Herek
film loosely based on the lives and music of Eighties heavy-metal
heroes Judas Priest, no one will. For, although she has been in
feature films before, the characters she's played have almost always
been variations on her popular, slightly befuddled-but-beautiful
comedienne: the social worker trying to raise a child with her gay
roommate in The Object of My Affection; the ad exec trying to catch
the man of her dreams in Picture Perfect. Rock Star is none of the
above. The film features mark Wahlberg as a singer in a tribute band
who gets thrust into stardom when the band he idolises loses its front
man and he is asked to step in. It gives an uncensored look at the
underbelly of rock'n'roll, from vodka breakfasts to orgies, to nipple
piercing (Wahlberg's) and a lesbian kiss (Aniston's). Though Aniston,
as Wahlberg's long-term girlfriend and manager, plays the island of
goodness in the roiling rock world, it's not exactly your coffee house
next door.
'I've said that if I missed out on anything, any of the wild times in
my life, I feel I've had them now,' she smiles. 'I was a pretty normal
kid; never even snuck out and slept at someone's house. Never walked
into a bathroom and saw lines of drugs and pills.' So was it hard for
Herek to get Aniston to loosen up? 'There's nothing that a little
tequila doesn't help,' he laughs. 'We'll sort of leave it at that.'
The nipple-piercing scene, for example, was 'right at the beginning of
filming and Mark and I didn't know each other,' she recalls. 'It was,
like, two strangers in a room with a needle and fake whisky and ice
cubes. We were mortified, even though we had a stand-in: someone who
lent us his nipple hole, already pierced.'
Also hard, says Aniston, apropos of the drugs-and-sex subject matter,
'was doing the [orgy] choreography and making it look like it's not
choreographed, and having to pretend you're sloppy on a Quaalude.'
Even harder was the fact that, after all her effort, the Quaalude
scene ended up on the cutting-room floor. 'That's one of the biggest
frustrations about making a movie,' she says. 'You do these test
screenings and people will say, 'Oh, it freaked me out to see people
doing drugs.' Well, we're telling a story here. This is what it is. It
must freak you out when you see someone get stabbed to death, too, but
for some reason, that's OK.'
When it came to clothes, there was no problem. Aniston's character
sports lots of crochet and waist-length, centre-parted hair with a
long fringe. She preferred the clothes to the hair, appropriating 'a
pair of leather pants, a pair of boots and a dress. [The Eighties]
wasn't the greatest decade in terms of fashion. But it was fun.' She
had warned the director, 'I am not going to have bad Eighties hair.
But it wasn't that great - I still had the big bangs. I actually did
have big hair in the Eighties: I layered it and coloured it purple.'
Though she claims she could never do the whole rock'n'roll wife thing,
she does admit to the ghost of a groupie past. A one-time fan of such
bands as The Go-Gos, Depeche Mode and Chicago (really), and a die-hard
Aerosmith follower, she says, 'I did have one of those bad moments in
my life when I slept out in front of a hotel with a friend, waiting
for a member of Duran Duran.'
Not that being a metal wife would be any harder than being half of the
millennial golden couple. Since their beachfront wedding in Malibu on
29 July 2000, complete with famous friends, zillions of flowers, four
bands, a gospel choir and fireworks, Aniston (who reportedly earns
$750,000 an episode for Friends) and Brad Pitt have become a favourite
target of gossip columnists and tabloid TV shows. 'Aniston is
pregnant!' screamed the tabs. Not true, though Aniston often says she
and Pitt would like to have children. 'I love kids,' she laughs. 'I
didn't get mad. I got a lot of free desserts.' And what of Pitt's
stated desire to have a large brood? 'He can get a mail-order bride to
give him the rest.'
Then there are the home rumours: 'Aniston and Pitt have bought a
$13million new Beverly Hills love nest!' Not exactly. 'I have a
beautiful little home. It's just been exaggerated - the size and the
price of it.' Aniston says she and Pitt hope to decorate the 6
bedroom, 12,000-sqft mansion themselves, but admits, 'We may hire
someone to help us out.' Still, she says, she haunts antique stores in
her spare time. 'I'm not big on new furniture.'
And then there's the eternally popular, 'Aniston is anorexic!' Despite
previously endorsing the Nutri/System programme on The Howard Stern
Show (the diet that originally helped her lose that now-famous 30lb
which, in turn got her the audition for Friends), these days, she is
firmly in the shopping cart of the controversial high-protein Zone
Diet. 'It's a way of life,' she says. 'I work out three times a week
and I eat three meals a day. I eat anything I want within reason. The
whole thing about carbs being cut out and how unhealthy that is -
well, carbs are not completely cut out. For the first couple of weeks
you cut out complex carbs like starch, bread, pasta and rice. Only for
a few weeks, to lower your insulin levels. Then you bring it all
back.' Her exercise regime is Pilates: 'I have a teacher and I go to
her studio. I had a hip problem and a chronic pinched nerve in my back
and it completely solved all of it.'
As for what she makes of people wanting to know these kinds of
details, she's philosophical: 'You're the flavour of the month, so
they're swooning, but they don't know who you are at all. They have an
image of you. You know you and your crappy sides and good sides and
what makes you you. The swooning - it's shameless, truly.' She
understands why: 'As a kid, we all pick up those magazines' - but she
also says, 'I just don't put any truth to it.' So what, in these
gossip-hungry days, can we believe? Aniston, wily in the ways of the
media, knows that to guard her privacy, it helps to go a little
public. Hence the one, tastefully chosen, photo that was released of
her wedding, and hence the following. True facts all: 1. Aniston
tried, and failed, to start an all-girl band at age 13. 'I'm telling
you, I have no musical talent at all.'2. She doesn't sing Karaoke: 'I
have stage fright.'3. She's a dab hand in the kitchen, true to her
Greek heritage. 'I can make a great spanakopita [spinach pie] and I
can make baklava pretty good, because it's my grandmother's recipe.'
So, does she cook for Brad? 'Why Cook?' she says. 'That's the name of
our delivery service.' On the other hand, she's very vocal about her
and Pitt's joy at staying in with a video and a milkshake. 'We love
games and stuff like that with our friends. We've been starting with
Taboo lately. We have poker nights.' 
She may have more time for it in the future, with Friends now in its
final season. 'It is heartbreaking,' she says. 'It chokes me up to
realise that this will be over.' And then there is her upcoming film
project, The Good Girl, a low-budget indie picture in which she plays
a less-than-sunny working-class Texan housewife. 'She's not really
consciously bad,' says Aniston. 'She's fed up with being the good
girl.' Kind of like Aniston herself? Let's just say that, combined
with Rock Star, The Good Girl may close the stereotype on the Rachel
years for ever.
