It’s safe to say Jennifer Aniston has aged the most gracefully from any of her Friends cast colleagues. While you can say the same about Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, the males from the cast arguably didn’t win the luck of the ageless gene.
All of them are 20 years older, though they reportedly stay in touch
. Aniston is seemingly closer with Courteney Cox above all, and perhaps they trade their anti-aging secrets.
Aniston is older than you think, but do you know her age? Is what she does to stay young natural, or something else?
Aniston’s early days as an actor

Long before Aniston became notoriously involved with Brad Pitt, she was a young struggling actress trying to make it in the world of late-’80s/early-’90s TV. Despite being the daughter of famous actors (John Aniston and Nancy Dow), she had to prove her acting skills on her
own.
This was refreshing compared to today where so much forced nepotism occurs in show business. In those early days, though, Aniston had trouble finding immediate success. She tried everything from Off-Broadway roles to acting in at least four failed TV shows.
She also had a small uncredited role in the 1988 film Mac and Me, leading to some minor parts in movies.
Not until she was cast in Friends did she finally take off and start gaining substantial movie parts during summer breaks.
Becoming a film star
Aniston had some good film roles through the 1990s. However, she didn’t hit her stride as an actress until the film The Good Girl released in 2002. By this point, she was already a superstar before she was 30 years old. It was a springboard to a successful movie career we still see going now in recent award-winning films like Cake.
There was a special appeal about her personality and appearance, turning her into a true favorite in both comedies and dramas. Of course, her famous hairstyle during Friendsmade her even more iconic. Despite this trendy hairdo, it was reportedly hard to take care of while doing the show.
Her famous hair has continued to make her look young to this day. Yet, take a closer look at Aniston’s lifestyle and you’ll see some other things perhaps helping her slow down the aging process.
Not worrying about relationships
Recently, Aniston wrote an op-ed saying she shouldn’t be judged on the success of her relationships. We all know about the failure of her marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. Considering she doesn’t let these bad marriages (or not having children) bring her down means she’s likely doing her mental health a favor.
Staying positive and removing any unnecessary stress from her life no doubt helps her keep looking young. A couple other things are no doubt helping her look 20 years younger than she really is.
Health practices
According to many sources, Aniston is deeply committed to many physical and mental health programs. Daily workouts are a big part of her mornings. Some of this involves different forms of yoga and even meditation.
There isn’t a doubt eating well and exercise does a lot to help slow down the aging process in everybody. With her full attention to taking care of her body and mind, it’s no wonder she looks almost the same as she did 25 years ago.
