America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston may be breaking the hearts of many, as the actress has revealed why she won’t accept one particular type of role following her 10-year stint in Friends.
Aniston first rose to international fame for her role as Rachel Green on television sitcom Friends from 1994 to 2004, starring alongside David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, and the late Matthew Perry.
The show proved so iconic that, decades later, we still find ourselves discussing if Rachel and Ross actually were on a break (they were), or if Rachel and Joey really should have gotten together (they shouldn't have).

The hit series recently marked its 30th anniversary - in turn not only making us all feel old, but also reminding us of the emotional rollercoaster felt while watching the six friends navigate relationships, careers, friendships, love, loss and parenthood while living in Manhattan, New York City.
But for anyone hoping to get their fix of Aniston in something similar, she's admitted she'd be reluctant to star in another sitcom because of her 10-year experience on the set of our beloved Friends.
“If I knew it would be the same experience as I had with those guys, yes, but I doubt that will ever happen,” Aniston said a few years back on the SmartLess podcast.
The actor said that it was a 'no brainer' that the sitcom was her favourite project to work on.
“I would have to say that is number one. Every single day I miss the schedule of filming… it’s the best schedule ever, on the planet,” she said on the podcast.
Reflecting on the show’s impact, Aniston told Variety that Friends 'had this long, wonderful life' and that it 'still means a lot to people'.
Aniston, who played the character of Rachel Green, said that the show was 'one of the greatest gifts all six of them ever could have imagined'.
This isn’t the only surprise for Aniston fans, as it was recently revealed that Jennifer Aniston isn’t actually her real name.
It turns out, that Aniston’s real surname is Anastaskis, which was Americanised when her father moved from the Greek Island of Crete to the US.
On Reddit, fans expressed their shock to find out her name was different and the fact that she has Greek heritage.
One person wrote: “What? That is brand new information!”
Some argued that it was never her name to begin with as the name was changed when her father moved to the US as a toddler, therefore, she was born as an Aniston.
Despite this, we’re sorry to disappoint Rachel Green fans, but it seems like there will never be another character like her again.
