Jennifer Aniston Ordered "To Lose 30lbs" Before Getting On 'Friends'
Author Saul Austerlitz detailed it in the novel 'Generation Friends: An Inside Look at the Show That Defined a Television Era'.
NBC
"She had to lose thirty pounds if she wanted to stay in Hollywood." he wrote.
He continued by saying:
NBC
"Los Angeles was a tough place to be an actress - it was a tough place to be a woman - and Jennifer Aniston's agent was reluctantly levelling with her."
In a Rolling Stone interview in 1996, Aniston actually spoke about it.
NBC
"My agent gave it to me straight," she said. "Nicest thing he ever did... The disgusting thing of Hollywood - I wasn't getting lots of jobs 'cause I was too heavy."
Well, at least she appreciated the input!
NBC
It could have been a lot worse, to be fair.
Do you think they had a right to say that to her? Let us know below in the comments!
