Hollywood icon Jennifer Aniston has revealed a long-standing career dream she has yet to fulfill — performing in a Broadway play. Despite her decades of success in film and television, the 56-year-old actress says she’s still eager to explore the world of live theater.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, the Friends star opened up about her ambition, saying,
“I definitely want to do a Broadway play. That’s on my bucket list. But it’s finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material.”
Jennifer Aniston Wants to Explore Theater After Four Decades in Hollywood
Known for her memorable roles in hit TV shows and movies — from the iconic Rachel Green in Friends to her comedic performance in Horrible Bosses — Aniston has never had the chance to showcase her talents on a Broadway stage. Yet, the Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award winner believes it’s a challenge she must take on.
“I absolutely have to do a play on Broadway,” she emphasized.
Born to actors Nancy Dow and John Aniston, Jennifer was introduced to the entertainment world early on. While she’s built an extraordinary career in film and television, stepping into live theater remains a goal she hasn’t yet checked off her list.
Would She Revisit Past Roles? Aniston Says “Yes” to Horrible Bosses
Aside from her Broadway ambitions, Aniston also expressed interest in returning to some of her previous roles — specifically, the 2011 comedy Horrible Bosses and its 2014 sequel.
“Oh my God, this literally came up the other day: Horrible Bosses,” she said.
“Jason Bateman and I were talking about that, and Charlie Day has been talking about it a lot too.”
She continued,
“That’s something that we think would be super fun. The characters are hilarious, and we need comedy. I personally think comedy is a necessity.”
Aniston added that revisiting those wild characters would be an enjoyable experience, especially in today’s world, where laughter is more needed than ever.
