Jennifer Aniston reveals dad urged her to quit acting

Jennifer Aniston revealed her late father, John Aniston, discouraged her acting ambitions by warning of inevitable rejection and suggesting she pursue alternative employment. The 56-year-old actress shared on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast that her father advised her against entering the entertainment industry despite his 37-year tenure playing Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives until his death in 2022. John Aniston's final episode aired one week after his passing.

Aniston expressed interest in reviving her role as Dr. Julia Harris from the Horrible Bosses franchise and emphasized comedy's importance in contemporary culture. She confirmed discussions with Jason Bateman and Charlie Day about returning to the films. The actress also identified performing in a Broadway production as a career goal, but noted the challenge of finding appropriate material and scheduling opportunities.
