Jennifer Aniston, 56, is optimistic about aging in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe societal idea of an expiration date just doesn\u2019t exist anymore \u2014 it\u2019s an old ideology,\u201d the Friends and Horrible Bosses actor recently told Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/i><\/a>, <\/i>referring to the idea that women are not welcome in the film and TV industry after a certain age. \u201cWe\u2019re here and we\u2019re more than half the population \u2026 and would any of you schmucks be here if it weren\u2019t for us anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n The Emmy award winner added, \u201cThe wisdom older women have to contribute is quite extraordinary, and it\u2019s one of the areas where we\u2019ve seen genuine progress in the film world.\u201d<\/p>\n But Aniston boldly stated that she is not going to \u201ctake credit for blazing anything,\u201d instead acknowledging her fellow stars: \u201cReese [Witherspoon], Nicole<\/a> [Kidman], Julianne [Moore], Sandy<\/a> [Sandra Bullock] \u2026 All of these women who have been here, and are still here, have been examples of what we are capable of. So if we are trailblazers, I will gladly wear that with honor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Aniston is currently starring in the fourth season of the Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show<\/i>.<\/p>\n One of Hollywood\u2019s \u2014 and AARP\u2019s \u2014 hottest actors<\/a>, George Clooney<\/a>, 64,gave some straightforward advice to older actors in Hollywood while speaking to Vanity Fair<\/i> in August.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you can\u2019t make peace with aging, then you\u2019ve got to get out of the business and just disappear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n AARP\u2019s advocacy work includes fighting ageism in Hollywood and encouraging the entertainment industry to tap into the unique perspectives and talents that actors, writers and producers who are 50 or older bring to their work.
