She also opened up about her experience with IVF treatment
Jennifer Aniston has said that she doesn’t “f***ing care” anymore in a recent interview.
The Friends star explained that after going through some “really hard s**t” in her thirties and forties, she has stopped caring about what people think about her.
In a photoshoot and interview for Allure, she said she “doesn’t have anything to hide at this point” as she opened up about her life.
The actress, best known for her iconic role as Rachel Green for 10 years, said: “I would say my late thirties, forties, I’d gone through really hard s**t, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be.
“That’s why I have such gratitude for all those sh***y things. Otherwise, I would’ve been stuck being this person that was so fearful, so nervous, so unsure of who they were. And now, I don’t f***ing care.”

The star went on to talk about her experience going through IVF treatment, but insisted she has “zero regrets” about her decision.
“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she said.
She added: “All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.
“I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”
In fact, Aniston said she “actually feels a little relief” because there is no more uncertainty over whether she can have children or not.
She explained: “I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
The 53-year-old also discussed the media’s treatment of women in the film and television industry who do not have children.

In 2018, Aniston and actor Justin Theroux announced they had separated after two years of marriage. Before that, she was married to actor Brad Pitt.
She suggested the media can be cruel towards women in the industry who do not have children, and created a “narrative that I was just selfish” and “just cared about my career”.
“And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child,” she said.
Addressing her marriage to Brad Pitt, she said: “And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”
Aniston married Pitt in 2000 but the couple parted ways five-years later.
At the time of their divorce, the pair even specifically addressed the speculation surrounding their split.
In a joint statement, they said: “For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration.
“We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.”
