It’s impossible to overlook Jennifer Aniston’s beauty, impressive physique, and enviable lifestyle.However, many are astonished that the 42-year-old actress has been declared the Sexiest Woman of All Time.
What’s even more surprising is that she surpassed her former rival, Angelina Jolie, who has long been viewed as the more alluring of the pair, with the Tomb Raider star landing in tenth place on the list.
Readers of Men’s Health chose the former Friends star as number one, placing her ahead of numerous other iconic screen sirens known for their bombshell qualities. This year, the 42-year-old actress took on her most seductive role yet in the movie Horrible Bosses, where she portrayed a flirtatious dentist with a foul mouth. Nevertheless, Jennifer admits that she hasn’t always played the role of a sultry leading lady.
‘The least sexy character [I’ve played] was Jeannie Bueller in the TV adaptation of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,’ she shared.
When it comes to her personal pick for the sexiest woman of all time, Jennifer opted for a classic choice, unable to choose between two iconic figures. ‘It’s a tie between Brigitte Bardot and Gloria Steinem,’ she expressed to the magazine. ‘However, if I had to select just one, I’d go with Gloria, as she embodies the complete package. That’s what’s sexy.’
Also featured in the top five were Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe, Britney Spears, and Madonna. Ursula Andress secured the sixth position, with Bettie Page, Pamela Anderson, and Jane Fonda following closely behind.
The magazine offered insight into why they believe Jennifer topped the list.
‘Jennifer Aniston is funny, and funny is sexy,’ they explained. ‘Her relatable personality makes her seem accessible, and anyone who has watched her in ‘Office Space’ can agree that she makes even pieces of flair look appealing.’
‘She rarely portrays the airhead and seldom exaggerates a role; her humor is understated and refreshingly human.’
Through regular workouts and a disciplined approach to her diet, Jennifer maintains one of the best physiques in Hollywood.
Moreover, she’s not hesitant to showcase her body, having been photographed in her bikini, displaying her toned abs on multiple occasions in Mexico.
In addition, she posed in nothing but a tie and a smile for a GQ cover in 2008 and stripped down for a nude shoot featuring Smart Water in 2007.
Since beginning her relationship with boyfriend Justin Theroux, Jennifer appears to be even more alluring.
It seems the star, who has had her share of heartbreaks, may have finally found ‘the one,’ radiating a distinct glow over the past few months. Her outfit choices appear to have grown more sultry as she gains confidence in revealing more skin at red carpet events.
Following her widely publicized separation from Brad Pitt in 2005, Jennifer has dated several men, including John Meyer, Vince Vaughan, Paul Schulfor, and Bradley Cooper. However, her father, the renowned Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston, believes that his daughter and Justin make a ‘wonderful couple.’
Speaking about Theroux, 40, who has been in a relationship with Jennifer since May, John said, ‘He’s a charming young man.’
The veteran soap actor also mentioned that he often spends time with the couple, adding: ‘We get together whenever it’s possible.’
Justin and Jennifer crossed paths on the set of Wanderlust last year but only began dating romantically in May, shortly after Theroux ended a 14-year relationship with his girlfriend Heidi Bivens.
The pair have become inseparable and currently share a home, dividing their time between Los Angeles and New York. Moreover, they’re reportedly searching for a new luxurious residence in LA.
Jennifer shared the sexy traits she looks for in a man, beyond just physical attributes.
‘The sexiest quality in a man – aside from abs – is his ability to make me laugh, alongside compassion, kindness, and a realistically sized ego,’ she revealed.
