The fight for the label of Jennifer Aniston’s best friend is certainly not new, with Ellen DeGeneres and Reese Witherspoon often going head-to-head over the woman with the perfect haircut on daytime television.But, after the release of
Interview Magazine’s feature on Aniston in honour of her 51st birthday Tuesday, one thing is for certain, we are all want to be Jen’s besties. This woman is something else—arguably ageless, ever-charming, and fiercely eloquent for a woman who (despite her obvious beauty and stature) screams approachability and casual girl-next-door appeal.Put her and Sandra Bullock (or Sandy to her pals) in the same room (or at least, in the same interview) and the outcome is equal parts insightful, humoured, and relatable—you know, in a Hollywood sort of way.In classic
Friends fashion,
Interview titled the piece ‘The One Where Jennifer Aniston Gets Grilled by Sandra Bullock’ and, well, it’s precisely that. Two mega-famous, powerful women with a penchant for wit and banter, showing us how it’s done in a Q&A format. And by ‘it’, we mean life in the spotlight, women supporting women, raising children, the perceived ‘shelf life’ of female actors, and even the story of how they wound up having too many shots of Jack Daniels at a wedding. Oh, and that time Aniston and Bullock dated the same guy (Tate Donovan, to be precise) who, in fact, was the reason they met. Why haven't any of our exes introduced us to Hollywood A-listers?[video_embed id='1898168']RELATED: New details on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's post-Oscars meeting[/video_embed]A true professional (minus the occasional F-bomb) Bullock even refrained from asking about that rumoured
Friends reboot…Aniston took to Instagram earlier on her bday to share some pictures from the piece, and honestly, we stopped dead in our tracks—and by that we mean we abruptly stopped scrolling.
Beyond the sinking realization that she looks better at 51 than most of us will maybe ever(?!), the photos also serve as a perfectly posed reminder of the year which Aniston has had. While the media is always—and has always been—transfixed on her love life (and that time Brad Pitt
grabbed her wrist at the recent SAG Awards) Aniston’s career has been on a pretty wild upward trajectory. With the recent success of
The Morning Show, Aniston has seemingly perfected the transition between the big and small screen, a point which Bullock was sure to highlight in her interview.
Friends co-star Courteney Cox was quick to comment, reiterating how we all felt with a simple “Are you kidding????” Even better, the star followed it up with a dedicated post to her own page wishing her longtime friend a happy birthday. Plot twist: They’re donning matching wigs.
Jen, from all of us… Happy Birthday. Clearly, you’re still just getting started.[video_embed id='1897306']RELATED: Brad Pitt reveals he's a 'Letterkenny' fan at the Oscars[/video_embed]
