Jennifer Aniston is eyeing a reboot, but it's not a revival of the hit '90s sitcom Friends. The former NBC star, who went on to star in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, told People magazine that she’d love to reprise one of her favorite film roles.
“Horrible Bosses,” Aniston, 56, said of the 2011 dark comedy film she starred in with Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis.
“Jason Bateman and I were talking about that, and Charlie Day has been talking about it a lot too,” she added. “So that’s something that we think would be super fun. The characters are hilarious, and we need comedy. I personally think comedy is a necessity. That’s one that we would have a really fun time, I think, going back to, seeing where those crazy cats are today.”
Aniston played boss lady Dr. Julia Harris in the 2011 film about a group of friends who plot to murder their overbearing bosses. She reprised the role for a 2014 sequel, Horrible Bosses 2.
While TV fans best know Aniston from her 10 seasons playing Rachel Green on Friends, she previously told The Wrap she was proud of her role in Horrible Bosses. “I love Dr Julia,” she said in the 2014 interview. “You know, I love playing the crazy woman in Horrible Bosses.”
Aniston once held out hope for a Friends revival. In 2018, she appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden and noted that her longtime co-stars, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, were game for a reboot, but their male castmates, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry, were not.
“The girls always say we would love to do it again, and the boys are a little less excited about it for some reason,” Aniston said at the time, per Us Weekly. “So we’ve decided that we’ll just do…like, a remake of The Golden Girls in, like, 40 years. … Just kind of go out on wicker chairs, you know what I mean?”
