Jennifer Aniston sat down with CBS Sunday Morning to talk about her new film Cake, and the 45-year-old actress also opened up about her highly-publicized split from ex-husband Brad Pitt.
When asked about their break-up, Aniston told the show:
- "The fact that it still follows you around -- I mean, I'm divorced. It's gotta be painful. I mean, I don't like it when people bring it up. But people still do, right? I don't find it painful. I think it's a narrative that follows you because it's an interesting headline. It's more of a media-driven topic. We've exchanged good wishes an all that sort of stuff to each other, but it's not a constant thing."
So what about current fiance Justin Theroux? "We know what our truth is, and [the rumors are] all just static," she says. When asked about the way the media spins everything out of control, the actress added:
- "Yeah. Just don't pay attention, best you can. There was a period where I was hell-bent on saying, 'That's not true, that's not right, that's not fair.' And now I just think you have to let it roll off your back and you realize, I think everyone knows it's all BS and, like, soap opera on paper."
On her role in Cake, which has earned her some major Oscar buzz, Aniston says, "I really was ready to, you know, just disappear and really go into the depths of a character." But where did it come from? "Well, I'm pretty on the edge. I mean, I can cry at a Pampers commercial!" she said. "You just act it, use your own emotions." And that's why we're not really buying her comment about Brad...
