One of the top Hollywood actresses, Jennifer Aniston, shared that initially, her parents discouraged her from opting for acting despite the pair belonging to the same profession themselves.
In a throwback interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Friends star revealed her father was against her choice to join the entertainment industry.
"'Don't do it," she recounted. "'Become a doctor. Become a lawyer."
The Emmy winner continued, "He didn't want me to be heartbroken because he knew it was a tough business. It compelled me to go for it even harder. Do what keeps you happy, and don't ever let people box you in."
The 54-year-old also revealed she worked as a waitress before appearing in the groundbreaking Rachel Green role.
"I waitressed for years in New York before I got anything. And I was a telemarketer selling timeshares in the Poconos. I didn't make one sale. I was terrible at it. I was like, 'Why do we have to call people at dinnertime?" she shared.
