Jennifer Aniston planning year-long break from acting

By Alexandra Heilbron on July 6, 2011 | 12 Comments


Jennifer Aniston has reportedly decided to take a year off from acting so she can concentrate on having fun and just living life. She’s also planning to take some time to work on developing her prison movie The Goree Girls, which she’ll produce and star in. Aniston will begin her year-long break after her upcoming film Wanderlust, co-starring Paul Rudd, is released. “Jen’s taking a year off from work to enjoy herself,” a source told Us Weekly. The insider also claimed that Aniston is hoping to spend more time with her boyfriend, actor/screenwriter Justin Theroux, and has asked him to collaborate with her on The Goree Girls. “She’s impressed by his ability to find humor in dry material,” the source said. Jennifer’s new comedy Horrible Bosses opens this Friday – check out her interview here

    Considering some of her recent movies….will anyone notice?

    By “acting,” does she mean playing basically the same character in almost all of her movies? Maybe she could spend the year honing her craft so that she can be noted for her talent instead of how she looks in a bikini, who she’s dating, who’s dumped her, the whole Brangelina silliness, etc.

    It’s only a year people, don’t fret, she will be back. phew! I sure hope so.
    Meh, but really, not a huge loss for a year. But at least in horrible bosses it seems she is acting a little differently as domineering and controlling boss who is sexually superior. I want to see that movie.

    Looking forward to her new movie Horrible Bosses, It will change things up a bit for her, She always seems to be playing the same role, gets tiresome. Gotta say like her anyhow. Friends was always a fav for me.
