‘It drives me bananas!’: Hollywood icon stuns fans with rare throwback photo
- Replies 0
A rare glimpse into the past can sometimes reveal just how much—or how little—someone has changed over the years.
When this award-winning ’90s sitcom star shared a childhood photo, fans were amazed by her familiar features.
Decades before she became a household name, this young girl had no idea she would one day grace both television and movie screens, captivating audiences worldwide.
Jennifer Aniston, celebrated for her role in one of the most beloved '90s sitcoms, delighted fans with a rare childhood photo in honour of her birthday.
The black-and-white snap showed a young schoolgirl with dark hair, bangs, and a charming summer dress, standing confidently in a classroom while her classmates sat nearby.
With her signature bright-eyed expression and effortless charm, she smirked slightly and lifted a hand to her hair—a gesture that still felt familiar decades later.
Over 40 years after the photo was taken, she shared it on social media, reflecting on her journey and thanking her fans for their warm birthday wishes.
‘Thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes! This kid is feeling very grateful and very loved,’ she wrote, adding confetti and heart emojis.
The actress, now 56, first made a name for herself in the early ‘90s before skyrocketing to fame as Rachel Green in Friends, a role that cemented her as a household name.
Though she later starred in hit films like Marley & Me and The Break-Up, as well as the critically acclaimed The Morning Show, many still fondly remembered her as the stylish and witty Rachel.
Throughout her decades-long career, she earned praise not just for her acting but also for her age-defying beauty.
She attributed her youthful appearance to a mix of skincare treatments, fitness, and a balanced lifestyle.
In past interviews, she had been candid about experimenting with cosmetic procedures, admitting she once tried Botox but ultimately decided it wasn’t for her.
She previously shared that she underwent a nose job to correct a deviated septum 2007: ‘Best thing I ever did...As far as all the other [rumours], as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it.’
More recently, she revealed she used peptide injections and unconventional treatments like salmon sperm facials to maintain her youthful glow.
She also credited her fitness regime and intermittent fasting for keeping her in top shape, even claiming she felt healthier in her 50s than in her 20s.
In a 2023 interview, she expressed her frustration with a particular backhanded compliment, saying: ‘It drives me bananas. I can't stand it.’
‘That's a habit of society that we have these markers like, "Well you're at that stage, so for your age…" I don't even understand what it means,’ she said.
‘I'm in better shape than I was in my twenties. I feel better in my mind, body, and spirit. It's all 100 per cent better.’
