Jennifer Aniston, 55, Gets Candid About Her Relationship with Her Body: ‘We Really Love Each Other’

Jennifer Aniston reveals she has a better relationship with her body than her sleeping habits.

The 55-year-old actress recently spoke to Allure and confessed that she and her body “really love each other.”

“We’ve got to love our bodies. It's doing the best it can. It's been with us since the day we started, so we can't be too hard on it,” The Morning Show star advised. She then recalled a memory of an older man on a previous set that provoked the thought.

“I'd seen him on a couple of different jobs and he was just working, working, working. I go, ‘You are impressive. I mean, you just never stop.’ And he said, ‘I just don't let the old man in,’ ” she said. “There was something about that.”

“Of course, we're all going to grow older, but how can we thrive as we grow older?” she asked. “And that is about giving your body the attention that it deserves. For me personally, I loved my 30s, but my 20s were nothing. I was a nightmare. I didn't understand working out until my 30s and 40s.”

The Friends alum also explained that she approaches aging “with positivity and gratitude.”

“We are still here. What's the alternative? I'm trying not to think about growing older. I try not to think about age. The world will always be there telling us what your age is and what women should do in society when you're this or that,” she added.

Although she has a kinder relationship with her body, the Emmy winner admitted, "Sleep and I have a real hard relationship."

"I really want to love it and I am sure it wants to love me, but we have had a hard time, especially the last 10, 15 years. It’s just hard to shut the brain down, hard to tell the committee to stop talking," she said.

"I've been trying hard to put myself in bed during the week at 10 p.m., turn everything off and then just sit there and let the world come crashing in. I've been trying to meet that challenge for myself. Some days you're great and on point, and some days you're just not."

"I’m a big believer in trying not to be hard on yourself because the world is so mean right now and so aggressive and negative. So why would we do it to ourselves?" she asked.

Along with "trying not to be hard" on herself, the actress revealed she tries to combine that with the 80/20 approach. “Eighty percent healthy living and then 20 percent is: Go have a martini, go have your pizza and burgers and stay up late with your friends. There's a balance,” she said.
