Jennifer Aniston's First Job? Cleaning Toilets!

Tuesday – September 15, 2009 – 5:26pm

 

Before Jennifer Aniston made millions as an actress, she had a much less glamorous job.

"I made my allowance as a kid cleaning toilets. I'm actually pretty good at it," Aniston, 40, tells Parade magazine.

The actress -- who earned $25 million in 2008 -- says she "grew up with absolutely no money at all.

"I struggled for a while, but I was happy with my life whether I was making this amount of money, or that amount of money," she says. "I always enjoyed where I was working."

In addition to cleaning, she held a host of other jobs while waiting for her big break on Friends.

"I loved being a waitress. OK, I didn't like time-share selling, I hated that job. But people used to say to me, 'You need to focus on having ambition,'" she says. "And I guess sort of following that advice allowed a lot to come to me."

Aniston says she's still the same person today as when she was scrubbing bathrooms.

"There's just been a great ease with that evolvement in my life to being an actress. I didn't change that much, but my bank account changed," she jokes.

The actress -- most recently linked to The Bounty costar Gerard Butler -- also opens up about her love life, saying shooting so many romantic comedies "probably [doesn't] help because one is work and one is life. I certainly try to access my personal life when I'm doing my job. But you know what they say, 'Art imitates life, life imitates art.'"

    Dou you guys even know her? How can you say she's sellfish or obsessed? That's what tabloids want to you stupid people to think! She's just answering something someone asked her, it's completely normal. And this is not just with her, it's with all actors of Hollywood.

    What does she mean she had no money??? Both of her parents are actors and they are NOT broke! If she's just talking about striving on her own, then I understand, but her parents-- particularly her dad-- didn't leave some money in her name??

    why are people throwing around "slut" and "skank?" as women, we should support successful women. not to mention, no one here knows her, so what could the possibly have to say about her personal life? i think you ought to address how much hate you've got inside of you- i don't think jennifer aniston is the issue here.

    September 16, 2009 - 7:46am SHE GREW UP WITH NO MONEY AT ALL?? Then why did she . . . Says: One thing that always struck me about Jennifer Aniston is that she banned her mother who RAISED her from her wedding to Brad Pitt. Yet, her divorced father, who had a gig on soap operas, walked her down the isle. Now, we come to find out her father, didn't finacially support her? Oh well, she has a ton of money to keep herself happy now. *********************************************************** If I'm ever jealous of anyone, it would be Jennifer Aniston. I would LOVE to have her beautiful hair, eyes, and body and be able to drink margaritas on a beautiful beach on vacations, and get to make out with handsome men on movie sets all day. I hate her lol.

    slutnnifer skankniston will spread her legs for movie roles!! she's such a horrible actress, the only way she gets movie roles is by blowing and fvcking directors, producers, crew members, actors, etc.. she's known as blow-me jen. but i heard she sucks(literally) at sucking dick, cuz her lips are so thin, men can't feel a thing.

    The problem is reporters asked her these questions. Whether you like it or not, Jennifer Aniston is famous! If you don't want to read anything about her, then don't read it. It's just that simple. Maybe you haters are just jealous cause she's pretty, sexy at 40, famous and tons of money compared to you!

    Jennifer needs to get over herself. Her story is no different from any other person. Just about every child does chores for an allowance. It's hard to find a celebrity who didn't wait tables while trying to make it in Hollywood. I don't know why she thinks she's so special for doing it too. ------------------------- you should get over jennifer,this is true no special and she just mentioned one of her own life experience like a fun like everybody does,if she doesn't,you haters will say she never does something normal bla bla!get a life! Jen rocks,she looks so stunning on the love happens premiere,so young!!!
