Jennifer Aniston is one of the most celebrated actresses in the Hollywood film industry. Since launching her career in showbiz, she has delivered powerful performances one after another, often leaving audiences star-struck with her unmatched acting skills.
However, acting jobs are difficult, as she recently shared her thoughts on the discomfort actors may feel when kissing strangers during auditions. In addition, Aniston also recalled how actress Nicole Kidman helped her and supported her during difficult times when they were filming Dennis Dugan’s romantic comedy movie Just Go With It.
Jennifer Aniston on the discomfort of kissing strangers during auditions
In a recent roundtable discussion with THR, Jennifer Aniston joined Sofia Vergara, Nicole Kidman, Brie Larson, Jodie Foster, and Naomi Watts to discuss their acting jobs and more. While speaking with the outlet, Aniston shared her views on the discomfort actors experience when kissing strangers during auditions.
She said, “When you’re in an audition room, you’re already at a disadvantage.” The actress added, “Maybe you’d have chemistry with this person if you were in a different environment and not, like, ‘Create chemistry. Ready? Go!”’
The Murder Mystery movie star further admitted that she is ‘terrible’ at giving auditions, noting, “I’m a terrible auditioner, always was. I waitressed forever before I could finally get something, which was a Bob’s Big Boy commercial.”
She continued, “So, if you’re a nervous auditioner, to begin with, to then say, “Now let’s have you make out with a complete stranger,” it’s very uncomfortable.”
Despite Jennifer Aniston’s belief that she is not good at auditions, her fans may disagree as when she’s acting on-screen, one can’t help but fall in love with her performances.
