Jennifer Anistonis embracing her 50s — but she doesn’t want to be told she looks great for her age. Here’s why.
In a recent interview withVogue, the actress noted that those sort of backhanded compliments (as in statements suggesting one might have to look or act a certain way when they hit a certain age) aren’t the ones she wants to hear.
“It drives me bananas; I can’t stand it,” theMurder Mysterystar said when posed with the discussion. “That’s a habit of society that we have these markers like, ‘Well, you’re at that stage, sofor your age…I don’t even understand what it means.”

No one can tell Aniston otherwise because, at 54, she’s feeling better than ever. That’s come with getting older.
“I’m in better shape than I was in my 20s; I feel better in mind, body, and spirit. It’s all 100% better,” added Aniston, who recentlypartnered with Pvolve, a fitness brand she now contributes her marketing, product and programming strategies to after becoming an avid user of its classes.
Being a part of Pvolve’s journey made total sense for the formerFriendsstar, who was introduced to its exercise programs after suffering from a back injury in 2021.
“I like to find something that really works and then share it with my girlfriends,” Aniston told PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “If I had known about it 20 years ago when I was breaking my body to begin with, we would’ve saved so much pain.”

Her thoughts on wellness have also evolved over the years. Now, they all “come down to simplicity.”
“It’s just calories in, calories out, nutrition, what are you feeding your body? Don’t eat crap. You’ve got to get the right amount of sleep. You’ve got to drink tons and tons and tons of water. You also have to give yourself the 20% of fun and gluttony and have a good time and indulge. For me, I couldn’t do that saintly, never go off the rails or deviate from the plan of perfect wellness because I like to enjoy myself."
