He's very much a New Yorker, East coast. 917 00:40:47.220 --> 00:40:50.220 Did not like fame in terms of was not used to being followed 918 00:40:50.220 --> 00:40:51.860 around all the time. 919 00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:54.270 She on the other hand was very, very Los Angeles, 920 00:40:54.270 --> 00:40:57.170 very much a household name at that point. 921 00:40:57.170 --> 00:40:58.675 And you know, very much 922 00:40:58.675 --> 00:41:02.130 in the whole Hollywood bubble kind of vibe. 923 00:41:02.130 --> 00:41:04.780 So that I think that they kind of put that aside 924 00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:06.243 when they first got together. 925 00:41:07.090 --> 00:41:08.480 - [Presenter] They issued a joint statement 926 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.030 to the press explaining that 927 00:41:10.030 --> 00:41:11.970 they had wished to keep things private 928 00:41:11.970 --> 00:41:13.690 but since the gossip industry would make 929 00:41:13.690 --> 00:41:14.830 up different stories, 930 00:41:14.830 --> 00:41:16.600 they thought they'd set the record straight 931 00:41:16.600 --> 00:41:19.060 so their fans knew the truth. 932 00:41:19.060 --> 00:41:21.470 Although the couple had been very much in love, 933 00:41:21.470 --> 00:41:23.610 they had major differences from the start 934 00:41:23.610 --> 00:41:26.010 which ultimately led to their divorce. 935 00:41:26.010 --> 00:41:27.970 - So while Jen was totally used to, 936 00:41:27.970 --> 00:41:28.803 she may not have liked it 937 00:41:28.803 --> 00:41:31.210 but she was used to being followed around all the time 938 00:41:31.210 --> 00:41:34.450 by the media, Theroux was not used to that. 939 00:41:34.450 --> 00:41:35.970 In fact, he liked to be anonymous 940 00:41:35.970 --> 00:41:39.880 and he liked the anonymity that being in New York gave him. 941 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.070 And I think at first he put that aside. 942 00:41:42.070 --> 00:41:44.470 He put the lifestyle that Jennifer Aniston had 943 00:41:44.470 --> 00:41:46.470 to live being Jennifer Aniston, 944 00:41:46.470 --> 00:41:48.830 he just accepted it because he loved her 945 00:41:48.830 --> 00:41:51.760 and he wanted to believe in their relationship. 946 00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.140 But as time went on, 947 00:41:53.140 --> 00:41:55.820 it was just omnipresent being followed 948 00:41:55.820 --> 00:41:57.960 and no personal life was personal. 949 00:41:57.960 --> 00:41:59.870 And that was one of the main factors 950 00:41:59.870 --> 00:42:02.520 I think really wore down the marriage that 951 00:42:02.520 --> 00:42:04.270 and just kind of the intrinsic differences 952 00:42:04.270 --> 00:42:06.820 between East coast and West coast in America. 953 00:42:06.820 --> 00:42:09.010 And those two vibes are just so different. 954 00:42:09.010 --> 00:42:11.070 So those things really drove a wedge 955 00:42:11.070 --> 00:42:12.670 between the two of them. 956 00:42:12.670 --> 00:42:14.520 - All of us really thought they were happy. 957 00:42:14.520 --> 00:42:17.490 So we were really surprised, I think as a group 958 00:42:17.490 --> 00:42:19.210 when that was announced, you know, 959 00:42:19.210 --> 00:42:21.030 Jennifer and Justin from the very beginning 960 00:42:21.030 --> 00:42:23.870 have been adamant that there was no one else involved. 961 00:42:23.870 --> 00:42:27.670 They parted as friends, that they're still connected 962 00:42:27.670 --> 00:42:30.440 but if things were really great, 963 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.910 it's hard to imagine why they would split up. 964 00:42:33.910 --> 00:42:35.730 Everyone wants to know what went wrong. 965 00:42:35.730 --> 00:42:38.210 And I think what's mostly been reported is that Justin 966 00:42:38.210 --> 00:42:40.340 is this kind of hipster, New Yorker 967 00:42:40.340 --> 00:42:43.420 and he only wanted to live in the Greenwich village. 968 00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:47.420 And Jen is this LA California girl who loves suntanning. 969 00:42:47.420 --> 00:42:50.580 And couldn't really be cool (indistinct) and urban enough 970 00:42:50.580 --> 00:42:52.550 for Justin but honestly, 971 00:42:52.550 --> 00:42:54.110 I don't believe that is true at all. 972 00:42:54.110 --> 00:42:57.670 I think Jennifer who's from New York has enough urban credit 973 00:42:57.670 --> 00:43:01.247 and is enough of a city girl to appeal to Justin. 974 00:43:01.247 --> 00:43:03.600 I think it was more that, 975 00:43:03.600 --> 00:43:05.943 you've got a guy who maybe wants to be single. 976 00:43:08.060 --> 00:43:10.040 In December, 2018 977 00:43:10.040 --> 00:43:12.770 Jennifer worked as an executive producer and starred 978 00:43:12.770 --> 00:43:14.730 in the Netflix film "Dumplin", 979 00:43:14.730 --> 00:43:16.750 a coming-of-age comedy film based off 980 00:43:16.750 --> 00:43:19.180 of the young adult novel of the same name. 981 00:43:19.180 --> 00:43:21.690 -

[Presenter] Although the special doesn't seem 1258 00:55:01.130 --> 00:55:03.260 to clarify that the stars will be reprising 1259 00:55:03.260 --> 00:55:05.400 their infamous roles, it will be bringing 1260 00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.690 them all together once more to reminisce 1261 00:55:07.690 --> 00:55:10.490 about their time on the set and all the great memories 1262 00:55:10.490 --> 00:55:13.133 they had while filming the hit television sitcom. 1263 00:55:17.277 --> 00:55:19.860 (bright music) 1264 00:55:27.030 --> 00:55:29.360 Jennifer Aniston has stolen the hearts 1265 00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:32.230 of many for over 25 years. 1266 00:55:32.230 --> 00:55:35.210 Her relate-ability and candid interviews make you feel 1267 00:55:35.210 --> 00:55:38.040 like you know her, the best friend you share everything 1268 00:55:38.040 --> 00:55:41.160 with and empathize with their setbacks. 1269 00:55:41.160 --> 00:55:43.620 - I think Jennifer Aniston is a lot deeper 1270 00:55:43.620 --> 00:55:46.310 and more complicated than people give her credit for 1271 00:55:46.310 --> 00:55:49.490 because she is accessible and funny and looks 1272 00:55:49.490 --> 00:55:50.680 like the girl next door, 1273 00:55:50.680 --> 00:55:52.960 the very attractive girl next door. 1274 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:54.940 I think people feel like they know her 1275 00:55:54.940 --> 00:55:58.540 but I think the real Jen is a much more nuanced, 1276 00:55:58.540 --> 00:56:02.133 complex, intelligent person than we know. 1277 00:56:03.170 --> 00:56:04.740 - [Presenter] On screen and off 1278 00:56:04.740 --> 00:56:08.200 her authenticity becomes relatable to fans showing 1279 00:56:08.200 --> 00:56:10.320 her as friendlier and more down to earth 1280 00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:12.113 than her peers on the red carpet. 1281 00:56:13.290 --> 00:56:15.750 - There is that every girl-ness about her. 1282 00:56:15.750 --> 00:56:17.050 She's someone that you could know. 1283 00:56:17.050 --> 00:56:19.960 She could have been like you're cool or older babysitter 1284 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.770 but then she also has that glamor with the style. 1285 00:56:22.770 --> 00:56:24.930 And like it started off with the Rachel haircut. 1286 00:56:24.930 --> 00:56:27.220 And these threads were just like again, 1287 00:56:27.220 --> 00:56:28.920 underscored over and over and over again 1288 00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:31.270 through the character, through her dating Brad Pitt, 1289 00:56:31.270 --> 00:56:33.380 then marrying Brad Pitt and to her having 1290 00:56:33.380 --> 00:56:36.010 this kind of fairytale existence. 1291 00:56:36.010 --> 00:56:38.580 I think all those things together have helped propel her 1292 00:56:38.580 --> 00:56:41.653 to be the most successful of the whole "Friends" contingent. 1293 00:56:43.180 --> 00:56:45.080 - [Ashley] I really liked Jennifer Aniston 1294 00:56:45.080 --> 00:56:47.830 because I think the warmth 1295 00:56:47.830 --> 00:56:50.660 and the compassion that we see on screen is real. 1296 00:56:50.660 --> 00:56:52.810 I think she genuinely is a good friend. 1297 00:56:52.810 --> 00:56:56.510 People, there are so many people who genuinely love her 1298 00:56:56.510 --> 00:57:01.350 in an industry that's famous for fakes and pretending. 1299 00:57:01.350 --> 00:57:03.323 I think she's genuinely the real deal. 1300 00:57:05.820 --> 00:57:07.860 -
