Our favorite “Friends” alum is covering InStyle again, which is a wise choice for the magazine, considering she’s a bestselling celebrity face for the magazine industry. Why do we love Aniston so? Perhaps because we just want to see her find happiness again.
Jennifer Aniston doesn’t need a holiday like Valentine’s Day to make her feel special. Thanks to her “Wanderlust” costar and real-life beau Justin Theroux, the actress, feels celebrated year-round. Covering the March issue of InStyle, she assures the magazine that this time, she knows what she wants in relationship.
“Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want. As I get older, I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me. And what I won’t settle for.” Wise words for those single folks out there who might be settling.
Hard-won wisdom often comes with time, something the 43-year-old realizes has passed by very quickly, even with the help of facials and the like. While she’s “fascinated” by dermatology–”skin, products, lasers…I call it ‘laser porn’”–Aniston’s happy to stick with her day job, though, she realizes she’s got some serious company from the younger set.
She confesses, “You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and I think, Aren’t we kind of the same age? You lose perspective.”
From time to time, the age-defying stunner is offered the part of the older woman in a film or one with a teenaged child. Aniston says, “It’s like, ‘I’m not old enough to have a 17-year-old!’ And then you realize, well, yeah, you are.”
But don’t waste your time worrying for America’s Sweetheart. She knows she’s still got it going on. “Young? I don’t feel my age. I feel young every day.”
See the ever-young Aniston along with Theroux and Paul Rudd in the comedy “Wanderlust” when it hits theaters February 24.
