Friends star Jennifer Aniston has said she doesn’t ‘f***ing care’ anymore after going through ‘really hard shit’ in her thirties and forties.
The 53-year-old stripped off for her latest photo shoot where she opened up about going through IVF and says the hard times she experienced made her who she is.
Aniston, who played Rachel Green on Friends throughout its ten year run, told Allure that she ‘doesn’t have anything to hide at this point’ as she opened up about her life.
She said: “I would say my late thirties, forties, I’d gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be.

“That’s why I have such gratitude for all those shitty things. Otherwise, I would’ve been stuck being this person that was so fearful, so nervous, so unsure of who they were. And now, I don’t f***ing care.”
The star went on to talk about going through IVF, adding that she has ‘no regrets’.
“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road.”
She added: “All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”
Going on to say she doesn’t regret what she went through, Aniston continued: "I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, 'Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.' I don't have to think about that anymore."
Elsewhere in the interview, Aniston hit out at the narrative that her marriage to Brad Pitt ended because she ‘wouldn’t give him a child’.
She told the publication it was ‘absolute lies’ that she was ‘just selfish’ and put her career before having children.
Aniston married Pitt in 2000 but the couple parted ways five-years later.
At the time of their divorce, the pair even specifically addressed the speculation surrounding their split.
In a joint statement, they said: "For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration.
"We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.”
