WANNA MAKE JEN MAD?

Jennifer Aniston is feeling better than ever – just don’t tell her she’s looking “good for her age”

THERE are many things she enjoys hearing about herself – that she’s successful, that she’s a great friend, that her dogs are adorable, that she’s one of the power women in the showbiz world.

But if there’s one thing Jennifer Aniston doesn’t like to hear it’s this: “You look great for your age”.

“It drives me bananas,” she says in a new interview with British Vogue magazine. “I can’t stand it – it should actually be ‘you look great’, period.

“It’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. I’m in better shape than I was in my twenties. I feel better in body, mind and spirit. It’s all 100% better.”

It’s safe to say Jen (54) is on a mission to banish the word “age” when it comes to describing someone, no matter how well-meaning people may be.

Once women reach a certain birthday it becomes all about the age, she says – and for her it happened when she turned 50 and became “a number”.

There was plenty of fawning. Jennifer Aniston is 50 and she still looks fabulous. She’s in great shape. Look at her legs. See her skin. Check out her hair. We should all be so lucky to look like her when we’re that age.

But she hated every second of it. She says it’s almost as though she went from being a “normal” person taking good care of herself to some kind of ageing freak of nature.
