Friends star Jennifer Aniston is opening up about celebrities who are “famous for basically doing nothing.”
Jennifer Aniston spoke about celebrity culture in a Variety Actors on Actors conversation with Hulu’s Pam & Tommy star Sebastian Stan.
“I always say I feel lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today, which is just different — more streaming services, more people.,” the Morning Show star said.
The actress said today’s celebrity culture allows people to become “famous for basically doing nothing. I mean — Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinsky, all those.”
Still, Aniston said celebrities are now famous for Instagram and TikTok.
“It’s almost like it’s diluting the actor’s job.”
Her tone-deaf comments have gone viral on social media. Some social media users, responding to Aniston’s comments, pointed out that she is a “nepotism baby,” the daughter of elite show business privilege. Indeed, her father was a successful TV actor. Her father is long-time Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston and her late mother was actress Nancy Dow.
Some trolled her as a “nepotism baby” while others accused her of trying to be a celebrity gatekeeper.

Celebrities really hate the idea that the average person can now be famous and have platforms where we’re on a more equal playing field 😭 Jennifer Aniston, I love you but bad take. https://t.co/XhAoO8UIVT
