15 Things You Forgot Jennifer Aniston Did In 2017

Life

13. Starred In The Yellow Birds On Screens

If there is one thing that should be very clear by this point in this list, it is that Jennifer Aniston is a huge star. Only falling short of a select few people when it comes to how famous she is, only names like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, or other celebrities that are well-known can claim to be a bigger deal than her. As a result, when she appears in something, it is seen as a very big deal. For instance, in 2016, she was by far the biggest star of the movie Office Christmas Party, and while it didn’t astound at the box office or with critics, people definitely knew it was coming. Yet somehow, her 2017 movie, The Yellow Birds, was released in January and virtually, nobody seems to have any idea that it exists even though critics have written that she is great in it.

12. Vacationed In Mexico Bikini Style

In the past, some of the people that seemed to be looked up to the most were the great thinkers, military leaders, and influential among us. These days, things have changed and it is actor and musician types that are most celebrated. But, there are also people like “reality” stars out there that get a whole lot of attention. As such, there are a lot of people who feel like they would do anything to be among them since they only see the positive side of fame. However, there are some pretty big negatives, including the fact that someone like Jennifer is dogged day and night by the paparazzi. That is why we know that she and her husband went on vacation in Mexico to celebrate her forty-eighth birthday.

11. Signed On For TV Return With Reese Witherspoon

An actor that became a star because of her time as one of the best-known names on television, since the end of Friends, Jennifer Aniston has been spending all of her time as a movie star. A fantastic career move as it has made her a much larger star, that is because there is no doubt that in North America, it is actors that appear in films that are considered a bigger deal. However, it appears that the medium that started it all out for her still has a pretty big place in her heart. At least it seems that way since she has signed on to star in an upcoming series that is being penned by Jay Carson, who is a producer of the show House of Cards. Set to star alongside Reese Witherspoon, that is yet another throwback to her early days as her new co-star played the sister of her previous TV character, Rachel Green.

10. Paid Tribute To J

From the outside looking in, we, everyday folks, often have no idea what is going on during the filming of the shows and films that we hold dear. After all, how many times have actors played buddies on screen in the past only to admit later on that not only were they not close but they greatly disliked one another? That is why this particular entry is such a heartwarming one for us. Tapped to honor Jason Bateman earlier this year, Jennifer did a marvelous job while speaking about the man she has appeared in five films with. You could argue that it was a publicity stunt made to make it look like she and her Horrible Bosses cohort are pals. But based on the quality of her speech and that she showed up at all, we doubt that.

9. Spoke Out Against Body Shamers…Again

An industry that is based entirely on being able to advertise movies to the masses, the powers that be in Hollywood have come to believe that having an attractive face front and center is greatly important. That is why any cursory look at the cast of most major movies will reveal that the people given the most important roles are hot beyond belief. Perhaps that is why much of the world puts such a premium on the looks of stars. When it comes to Jennifer Aniston, that has been a boon to her career as she is gorgeous. But at times, it has been devastating to her life as she is the victim of body shaming on a regular basis. That is why she spoke out against fat-shaming, body-shaming, or childless-shaming last year. When that stemmed nothing, however, she did not shrink under the pressure and instead echoed her words a year later.
