Jennifer Aniston Turns Heads in Leather Boots as She Opens Up About Dating and “Kids”
Jennifer Aniston spoke candidly about life at 51 while being interviewed by Sandra Bullock and posing for a sizzling shoot for Interview Magazine.
During the chat the duo revealed how they launched a beautiful friendship after they first met when the actor Tate Donovan - who they both dated - introduced them at a Golden Globes party in the 90s.
The pair reminisced about their time with Tate, who Sandra called 'our former boyfriend', in Aniston's profile for the magazine, which was conducted by The Blind Side star, where they also spoke about joint plans for the future.

The repartee between the two showed why they are such good pals, with Sandra responding: 'Talented. Funny. Kind. Introspective. Generous.' Continued Jennifer: 'Lovers of architecture, lovers of interior design.'

Sandra, who told Jennifer 'you can be an a**hole but you're so charming!', queried how the Friends star manages to stay positive when life doesn't go as planned.
Digging deep, Jennifer, admitted her childhood wasn't perfect - saying she often felt 'unsafe' at home. She is the daughter of Days Of Our Lives actor father John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow.
'I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other...

'[I was] witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: "I don't want to do that. I don't want to be that...
'"I don't want to experience this feeling I'm having in my body right now. I don't want anyone else that I ever come in contact with ever to feel that."'
And she continued wryly: 'So I guess I have my parents to thank.'

The pair then looked to the future, with Jennifer saying she saw herself in a beach house.
'It's not so much what I see myself doing, but it's more like a little screenshot in my brain, where I hear the ocean, I see the ocean, I hear laughter, I see kids running, I hear ice in a glass, I smell food being cooked. That's the joyous snapshot in my head.'

Meanwhile, Jennifer celebrated her 51st birthday in style as she partied at the upscale Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles.
The award-winning actress was chauffered to the intimate bash in a black SUV as she joined the likes of Friends co-star Courteney Cox and The Handmaid’s Tale's Elisabeth Moss.
Keeping a relatively low profile for her big day, the media personality displayed her all-black outfit as she stepped out of the vehicle, featuring a statement gold watch, a diamond ring and a selection of chic necklaces.
Long-time friend Courteney, 55, who rose to fame with Jennifer during their 10-year run on the famous sitcom, was every inch the supportive friend as she was pictured in attendance, carrying a Romo shopping bag - seemingly for the birthday girl.
