Jennifer Aniston: I'm comfortable with myself now

8th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jennifer Aniston says she has more of a "f**k it" attitude as she's grown older.

The Hollywood actress is currently playing a foul-mouthed dentist in comedy Horrible Bosses. Her character sexually harasses her staff which in turn leads to them plotting to kill her. Jennifer says her role of Dr. Julia Harris in the upcoming movie was a poignant part to play because it shows a woman in a sexually assertive position.

The 42-year-old actress relates to her character in some aspects as she is more comfortable in her skin as she has matured.

"Are men intimidated by sexually confident women? Yes, I think that men are intimidated by any woman who's sexually confident, no matter what age," she mused. "I think getting older means you get more comfortable in your body and in your skin and who you are and you have more of a 'f**k it' attitude.

"That's what I think was so fun about it, sort of being a female that's usually the male character. I thought of her as kind of like a guy and that made it that much more fun."

Jennifer says she was drawn to Horrible Bosses because of the "outrageous" script. The stunning star couldn't resist doing the movie after learning the highly-sexed motives of her character.

"I've never played a character so inexcusably raunchy and there was no way I could resist it," she admitted in an interview with British newspaper The Independent. "The dialogue and the situations are so outrageous and fun. I jumped at it immediately. It really stretches the limits and crosses boundaries and Dr. Harris is way out in front on all counts: guilty as charged."

Jennifer's victim in the film is played by co-star Charlie Day, and Jennifer has recalled the unusual ice-breaker between the pair on the first day of filming.

The beauty says she was at ease shooting the raunchy scenes.

"I've never been on a set like this within 20 minutes, I was straddling him in lingerie. I was bizarrely comfortable in these scenes, almost more than I would be playing the normal girl-next-door, and every scene was kind of crazy but that was really the fun of it," she laughed. (C) Cover Media
