00:00Jennifer Aniston opens up about life in her 50s and claps back at age-shaming critics who say women have an expiration date.
00:09Schmucks.
00:10Jennifer Aniston's career has spanned over three decades, and her name on a movie poster still draws fans to theaters.
00:19Despite her success, there are still critics out there who think she's too old, but the actress is done hearing their negativity.
00:26In the UK's November issue of Harper's Bazaar, she clapped back at people that looked down at older women.
00:35Jennifer Aniston loves being in her 50s.
00:39The societal idea of an expiration date just doesn't exist anymore.
00:44It's an old ideology, she explained to the publication.
00:48We're here, and we're more than half the population, and would any of you schmucks be here if it weren't for us anyway?
00:54But she wasn't done there.
00:57The wisdom older women have to contribute is quite extraordinary, and it's one of the areas where we've seen genuine progress in the film world, she added.
01:07Aniston also got candid about her personal life in the interview, shutting down the narrative that she didn't have children because she's a workaholic.
01:16They didn't know my story, or what I'd been going through over the past 20 years, to true and pursue a family, because I don't go out there and tell them my medical woes, she said.
01:27That's not anybody's business, she continued.
01:31But there comes a point when you can't not hear it.
01:34The narrative about how I won't have a baby won't have a family, because I'm selfish, a workaholic.
01:40Rather, Aniston was secretly struggling with infertility.
01:44It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road, she said in a 2022 interview.
01:51My late 30s, 40s, I'd gone through really hard, S, and if it wasn't for going through that, I would have never become who I was meant to be.
02:00I was trying to get pregnant.
02:03All the years and years and years of speculation, it was really hard, she added.
02:09I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it.
