Jennifer Aniston is opening-up, sort of, on a subject that is usually strictly off limits - the split with her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
Everyone's favorite Friend sat down with James Lipton recently for an upcoming episode of the Inside The Actors Studio and reflected on starring in the hit movie The Break-Up after having just gone through her own, well publicized, high profile break-up.
"It was just a beautiful story about a couple breaking-up. And I was slightly familiar on the topic and the issue," Aniston quips. "And I sort of honestly felt like, what a great way to sort of exercise some of that.
"And I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. You would think otherwise, because even the producers were like, 'I don't know if we should ask you to do this,' but I was like, why not? Turn the page, let's move on."
Aniston has been solidly silent on her divorce from Pitt, giving just one interview on the matter, to Vanity Fair. In the revealing interview Aniston confessed that she was "shocked" by the break-up and that she was trying to "pick-up the pieces in the midst of this media circus."
"Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely.
