Jennifer Aniston, 56, reveals her unbelievable secret to ‘aging gracefully’ after plastic surgery speculation: ‘I’m maintained’
Jennifer Aniston is crediting her youthful looks to “optimism” and “positivity.”
The “Friends” alum, 56, reacted to her “Morning Show” co-star Marion Cotillard complimenting her as someone who has aged gracefully, and shared her surprising secret.
“That means so much to me. We didn’t have that [those kind of role models growing up],” she said of Cotillard’s praise in a Q&A with Glamour published Tuesday. “And I think as far as aging gracefully, I have an eternal fountain of optimism and positivity. Call it youth if you want.”
“I’m not going to say I don’t get the facials and the lasers and all that good stuff,” she said. “I mean, I’m maintained. I’m not going to just go down and let these gray hairs take over.”
Aniston has faced plastic surgery speculation before.
The group — who seemingly tried to stay undercover — was photographed leaving renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. Neil A. Gordon’s office in the ritzy town of Greenwich.
“But let me explain to you: It’s not like, how do you get sperm out of salmon? It was sort of unclear,” she said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last October. “I just took the woman’s word that’s that what it was, and I was like, ‘Sure!’”
The “Morning Show” star said she follows an “80/20 approach” to health and fitness back in January,
“You’ve got to live your life. No restrictions — except hard drugs,” she told Allure. “It’s the 80/20 approach.”
“Eighty percent healthy living and then 20 percent is: Go have a martini, go have your pizza and burgers and stay up late with your friends,” she continued. “There’s a balance.”
She also told the magazine that she wants to redefine the “rules” of aging, approaching her late 50s with a mindset of “positivity and gratitude.”
“What’s the alternative?” she asked. “I’m trying not to think about growing older. I try not to think about age. The world will always be there telling us what your age is and what women should do in society when you’re this or that.”
“We can make our own rules. It’s all bulls–t,” she added.
Jennifer Aniston is rumored to have undergone plastic surgery. The 56-year-old actress hasn’t confirmed nor denied the speculation, though she was allegedly seen exiting a plastic surgery facility not long ago.
So what is the truth?
Now, the former Friends star has broken her silence, not only addressing the plastic surgery rumors, but also revealing her supposed secret behind aging gracefully.
Like many popular performers before her, Jennifer Aniston was most likely afraid of being typecast (always being cast in the same kind of role) after the incredible success of Friends. Yet while it certainly can be argued that the now 56-year-old actress appeared in many similar comedic roles in the intervening years, over the past decade, Aniston has proved many wrong.
She has been praised in particular for her performance as news anchor Alex Levy on the television drama The Morning Show, receiving Emmy nominations.
Aniston also serves as executive producer on the show, but while her impeccable performance has been widely praised, another subject has followed her for many years: plastic surgery.
In 2018, her representative revealed that Aniston underwent rhinoplasty surgery to “correct a deviated septum that was incorrectly done over 12 years ago.” Speaking to People back in 2007, Aniston talked about the decision to fix her nose.
“It’s funny. I had [a deviated septum] fixed – best thing I ever did. I slept like a baby for the first time in years,” she said. “As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it’s still mine. All of it. Still mine.”
Jennifer Aniston – plastic surgery, botox
A year earlier, in 2006, Aniston revealed more details about her rumored procedures. She confirmed that she has never had breast implants or a breast enhancement.
“No boob job! You know what it’s called? It’s called 10 pounds,” Aniston said. “Here’s what it is, this is the funny thing, you’re either, ‘Oh, look at the bump,’ and they circle the bump and there’s an arrow. But instead, it’s like, you know, maybe a couple of cheese plates too many.”
Aniston once admitted that she had tried Botox, but didn’t like it as it’s a “slippery slope.” Even so, the plastic surgery speculation continue. In March 2024, Aniston was spotted leaving an exclusive plastic surgery retreat in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Daily Mail obtained pictures of her and friends Sandra Bullock and Amanda Anka as they tried to stay undercover while exiting the doors of famous cosmetic surgeon Dr. Neil A. Gordon’s office.
The surgeon, as per his bio, is part of a “small, elite group of international facial plastic surgeons” who specialize in “facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty.”
So, has Aniston done anything recently? In a new Q&A with Glamour, The Morning Show star didn’t admit to undergoing any recent plastic surgery. Instead, she said she has “maintained” her looks.
“I’m not going to say I don’t get the facials and the lasers and all that good stuff,” she said. “I mean, I’m maintained. I’m not going to just go down and let these gray hairs take over.”
Jennifer Aniston reveals the secret to ‘aging gracefully’
Aniston continued: “So it’s perspective, and also knowing that this is our one body. It’s a mindset. So it means a lot to me to hear that from Marion, who I think is a walking beam of sunshine and love and beauty and talent.”
In January, the actress told Allure that her approach to health and fitness involves “eighty percent healthy living” and 20 percent “go have a martini, go have your pizza and burgers.” Also, she said she wants to redefine what aging really means, starting with a mindset of “positivity and gratitude.”
“What’s the alternative?” she continued. “I’m trying not to think about growing older. I try not to think about age. The world will always be there telling us what your age is and what women should do in society when you’re this or that. We can make our own rules. It’s all bulls–t.”
Jennifer Aniston Is Reportedly ‘Paranoid About Aging’ Amid A Slew Of Plastic Surgery Appointments
Jennifer Aniston continues to put her money where her mouth is in the name of love.
The “Friends” star is reportedly trying to keep up with her much younger partner, not precisely in age, but in appearance, through the expertise of a plastic surgeon and the gym.
Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, debuted their romance this year and have stayed fiercely in love since, including going on vacays and getting their wellness game on.
Inside Jennifer Aniston’s Itinerary Of Multiple Procedures
The 56-year-old actress is aging gracefully, but intends to keep those physical attributes in check now that she is in a relationship. She is reportedly obsessed with not looking older than her significant other and is determined to do something about it.
Curtis is six years younger than the star and equally good-looking, reportedly spiking Aniston’s insecurities about her looks. “She’s paranoid about aging, so she’s ramping up the surgery,” a source confirmed.
Aniston reportedly has all her surgeries lined up, including a breast lift and probably a fat transfer to plump up her behind. The actress will reportedly also “like to do something about the skin on her neck, which looks a little loose to her. She gets more work done than people imagine.”
According to RadarOnline, a source close to the actress has, however, debunked this report, emphasizing that the actress is not insecure about any part of her body.

Aniston and Curtis could not have become a couple at a much better time, according to Astrology specialist Polina Arutiunian of Nebula, a spiritual guidance platform.
She noted that Aniston’s professionalism and resilience make her Curtis’ ideal woman, according to her Venus archetype. As explained by Arutiunian, Curtis’ Venus is a Capricorn, which means he is attracted to women who display confidence, independence, and strength traits.
The astrologist continued that the actress and her beau are both aquarians, ruled by Saturn and Uranus. Arutiunian added that since both planets are changing signs and entering into a new cycle, Aniston and Curtis’ relationship is a perfect example of the goodness of this phenomenon.
