Jennifer Aniston had ‘awkward phase’ in her 30s

Jennifer Aniston went through her  »awkward phase » in her 30s.

The ‘Horrible Bosses’ actress is getting ready to celebrate her 45th birthday next February and looking back over her life, she says her 30s – during which she was married to Brad Pitt for five years between 2000 and 2005 – were a strange time.

She told Parade magazine:  »There’s nothing to worry about [getting older] – although I don’t think I had a care in the world at 25, either. That all started in my 30s, my awkward phase. I’m a little bit of a late bloomer!

 »But it doesn’t matter to me because it just gets better. They do say youth is wasted on the young, but I feel just as youthful now – if not more – than I did when I was 25. I’m more in my body; I’m more in my mind. Life is full. Life is wonderful. We’re very, very fortunate. »

Jennifer – who is now engaged to be married to actor Justin Theroux – enjoyed her best-known role in sitcom ‘Friends’, which also finished when she was in her 30s, and she still likes to occasionally watch clips from the show.

She added:  »I actually will always stop and watch, not for the whole thing, but usually because I’ve forgotten a lot of the episodes. It’s sort of fun for a second, I’m like, ‘What’s this one?’

 »And sometimes it comes back to me. I always know what year it was by what length my hair was or what color. »
