Jennifer Aniston: The Rachel Was 'Ugliest Haircut I've Ever Seen'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 18th 2011 10:50AM

Jennifer Aniston has a famous head of hair -- but you'd be surprised at what she thinks of her most copied coif.

"Have there been disasters? I think that's a very relative term with hair. Let's say there have been moments I'd rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing," she tells Allure of the 'Friends' 'do that started it all.

"I love Chris [McMillan, her hairstylist], and he's the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen. What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs? Let's just say I'm not a fan of short, layered cuts on me personally, so I don't love revisiting that particular era," she adds.

The A-lister also has another well known asset: her bikini bod. And she works hard to keep it in shape.

"My stomach is not my hardest [challenge] -- my derriere is much more my challenge," she explains.

Her past few roles: "I didn't wear mascara in 'Just Go With It.' It's fun to transform a little bit -- what did I have to lose? I was ready to be silly and go with a full-out comedy, and it was the first time I felt truly sure about what I was walking into. Because with the last couple of movies, I wasn't completely sure, and I should have probably trusted my gut. For whatever reason, they all happen the way they're supposed to."

She's a goofball: "I'm actually comfortable in goofdom. Not taking myself seriously is one of my favorite things to do, because I don't. Ever."

Her bartending skills: "I can make two drinks really well: a dirty martini and a Bloody Mary. People are like, 'You make the best Bloody Marys,' and my secret ingredient is basically Mr. and Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix. It's not some fancy mix that they do with the horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. It's the 7-Eleven of Bloody Marys. It's the trashiest."

Back in the days of 'Friends': "Look at Baby George. Baby Clooney. 'ER' was right next door to us on the soundstage. That was really fun. I remember when we used to do crossovers like that. See, NBC used to be really cool. Then, you know..."

On dogs: "Really, the most unconditional form of love that you can encounter is with a dog. They're excited the minute you come home, and they show the same amount of excitement every day."

Being a good host: "I should have been a party planner. I'm a good mixologist in terms of personality types. I do a tree trimming party every year -- 15 years I've been doing this. At my tree-trimming party we always do chili: turkey, regular beef and vegetarian. Everybody is satisfied. What ruins a party? A really drunk person. Trust me. It's happened."

She doesn't understand 'The Bachelor': "You know what I find fascinating? 'The Bachelor.' I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they're weeping as though they've just lost the love of their life. I don't understand that."

Mike...you make it up to where she is financially and let's talk.
I like her as an actress...I feel like there's someone real inside there. So you don't like the films she's done. She's an ACTRESS...she's playing character roles...just like any other actor or actress. You achieve what she has, and maybe you can show us all how wonderful you are...but with that attitude, I really doubt you'll get there.

Not too bright are you Amber?

By Laurie Burrell

I really like her. I love her sense of humor, and her confidence to be so goofy whenever she feels like it.

I am so over people continuing to bring up Angelina! It's the past! Let it go! Just an unfortunate chapter in her life. Life goes on, time heals.

I only wish the best for her.

By Carole

Jennifer A. needs to stop trying to be something she isn't and never will be!!! She a flop just like her movies.

You call Jennifer a dog!! I would hate to see what you look like. The only dog in Hollywood is greasy looking Angelina. We'll see how well the Pitt-Jolie children fare after Brad has traded in ugly Angelina for a new brood mare. We all kow it's just a matter of time.

By Bleu

The love from children is not unconditional. When they get to be teenagers, MANY of them give the parents the big middle finger. It's just life. I think Aniston is a dope, but she's right about dogs.

By great granny

Love Jen Aniston. She has been through a lot in the public eye. Give her a break, she deserves it! Last i heard, Jen was doing charity work for a wonderful cause. Like your hair then and now. Beautiful eyes, almost as blue as my granddaughter.

By Tiffany

Um why doesn't she say she's flattered that so many women copied that hair style? I think that's a little bit of an insult to the women who the cut actually looked good on, kinda like saying "wow you guys are all idiots to copy this pos hair style"...?.. Then why did she wear the style for as long as she did?

Wow...I guess you prefer that she not be honest? I'm sure she was flattered that so many women wore style after seeing her. That was then...this is almost 17 years later. People change, their tastes change. It was a wonderful time for her i'm sure, her series' ratings were through the roof and everyone was talking about it. I love watching the reruns myself...but this isn't 1994 and I don't expect her to be just like she was then...
kind of the same way Miley Cyrus must feel about not wanting to stay (or play) 12 years old forever.

By Kathy

Because it was the character's hairstyle?

Shallow and Dull?? Jealousy has reared her ugly head today.

By Mike1098

I don't think Jen has ever considered herself a Merl Streep kind of actress. Some of her movies are good and some okay. Besides, when you look as HOT as her who cares if she can really act!

By MC

The "Rachel" hair style is a lot better than what is appearing in this most recent photo spread (IMO.

The hair on the cover looks nice even tho it does seem a little too photoshopped, but I didn't like the bangs and wondered if it was even her. Then I read it was a takeoff on Brigitte Bardot and she wore no mascara and I understood... although this isn't the first time I've seen an actress made up to look like somebody else and wondered why. She looks better as herself.

By love the lake gal

Jennifer is amazingly beautifuland sincere. She used to visit Brad's hometown in Missouri and everyone who encountered her said she was so down to earth and nice. Brad's family loved her.
We all hope to look that good ever!!!!

Please let go of Jen and Brad...he has 3 biological children (which he always longed for and that Jen never gave him). It's been 7 years now and Jen still doesn't have a child or a man, because no real MAN wants this shallow, I only take 3 minute showers, I hate the hair that made me famous, wash up actress! I'm not on Angie's side either, but if I had to choose whose films to see...it would be Angies, because she plays a VARIETY of characters - not the same one in every film.

By Paul

If she were my girl I would love her unconditionly!
