Author Saul Austerlitz detailed it in the novel ‘Generation Friends: An Inside Look at the Show That Defined a Television Era’.
“She had to lose thirty pounds if she wanted to stay in Hollywood.” he wrote.
He continued by saying:
“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.
“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!
It could have been a lot worse, to be fair.
