Just that really. I know she is rich and famous but so are many others and she has just knocked them all out of the park!

I no longer listen when people tell women to 'be nice.' Being nice has got us into all kinds of shit. If you're a Hollywood actress then your career depends on how you look - impossible to discuss any of them without talking about that and about how they maintain those looks.

Aniston appears to be doing what pretty much every middle aged movie actress does to her face. I'd rather she didn't; I understand why she does. In any case, I think the way she looks is probably the least interesting thing about her.

Why not, we’re being fed a lie, photoshop, airbrushing, botox.....all the money in the world to look good. It’s Hollywood that sets such store on looks, and basically tells us that’s how women should look. Half the time we think someone’s beautiful because we’re told they are. But it’s unattainable, a lie. Let’s have some bloody honesty ffs.

Exactly. The images of her - and others - are not real, MN posters. Time to wise up.

AudacityOfHope · 16/02/2020 12:50

Yeah it's my sheer naivete and inability to wise up that means I'd rather not tear apart someone's looks on the internet.

Well let’s all be dishonest and bull them all up shall we Confused perish the thought that we should all think the same.

ChickLitLover · 16/02/2020 13:51

It’s like Posie Parker said in one of her interviews; women who have the same surgeon always end up sort of looking the same. Well actually Posie was talking about transwomen but the point still stands.

Oh ffs. 🙄

AudacityOfHope · 16/02/2020 13:55

Who said we should all agree that she's beautiful? Not me. I'm just saying if I thought a nice Sunday afternoon hobby was to publicly probe and pick at a woman's most visible flaws, I'd consider myself a cunt.

JillAmanda · 16/02/2020 14:03

Not sure why you’re being snippy Chicklitlover.

Someone remarked that two women who are likely to use the same surgeon look similar.

It totally makes sense that surgeons have their own style. Just like you can spot a Bob Ross painting or a Picasso a mile off.

ChickLitLover · 16/02/2020 14:18

JillAmanda

Well I don’t agree they look similar. And some people will try to bring trans into any thread ...as for Posie Parker, well I won’t derail the thread.

I think Jen looks great, if I didn’t think she did, I wouldn’t feel the need to pick her apart, parts of this thread are disgusting.

restawhile77 · 16/02/2020 14:20

AudacityofHope If a thread had been started purposely to pull a woman celeb apart I’d agree with you. It wasn’t, it was about whether we thought JA looked wonderful..... Many of us don’t think so and we’re explaining the reasons why. Or should we just say “no” and not explain why. Either that or we all follow like sheep and gush about her.

drina27 · 16/02/2020 14:56

How charming.

restawhile77 · 16/02/2020 15:04

Always amazes me how someone can be outraged at a celeb being slated but quite happy to call women on here cunts. Shock

AudacityOfHope · 16/02/2020 15:04

As charming as poring over a stranger's flaws and posting your critique about them online 🤷🏻‍♀️

AudacityOfHope · 16/02/2020 15:09

Now that, I did not do.

Nofoolfornoone · 16/02/2020 15:29

@AudacityOfHope I agree with you . This thread has been fairly depressing/insulting

restawhile77 · 16/02/2020 15:38

Some people are easily depressed. Hmm Why should we all agree, we’ve been asked opinions ffs.

StCharlotte · 16/02/2020 15:49

My friend had one of those "free" photoshoots where you get stung for the prints. She joked that if she ever went missing the media should use those pictures although she accepted she would never be found as they looked nothing like her!

Why bother having a photo shoot of your everyday self?

My sister (was a bit mad) tried to give me her set of prints because she thought they looked more like me and she hated them Hmm

So if they’re strangers why have any opinions about them. No point in them.

AudacityOfHope · 16/02/2020 16:49

It's perfectly possible to have opinions about people and not air them in public in a way that's likely to make them feel like shit on the bottom of your shoe.

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/02/2020 18:03

At the end of the day this amazing photo shoot was to klaxon that although Jen is 50 she can look much younger through a camera lens.
She's at an age when there are fewer roles available and those that are out there have a very large pool of actresses fighting for them.
That's the reason I bet she did this- get some column inches and remind everyone that I look younger than I really am!

squishedgrapes · 16/02/2020 18:40

I'm in my 50s, look better than her and don't need money, good lighting, fillers and Botox. Lots of women in their 50s look fucking amazing without help
I don't understand why people are so amazed by how a woman looks in her 50s. As though 50 is some sort of cliff edge, once you're over it you wrinkle up and look half dead.

XingMing · 16/02/2020 18:42

I think she looks great, and if this is part of the audition. then the producer should trust their instincts and give her the role. Women who are past the ingenue age should fight hard for theit position in fillms. We hold up 50% of the world.

gypsywater · 16/02/2020 19:28

Pahahaha @squishedgrapes reckoning they are hotter! This place cracks me up Grin
