Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston says she is glad to be rid of her wholesome image.
After playing a demented dentist in the comedy film Horrible Bosses, Aniston says she relished the opportunity to play a character completely different from her normal range.
'Just the freedom, the scenes, the insanity was so great,' she told Fairfax.
'It was so easy and there was no need to change dialogue because it was perfect,' said Aniston.
Aniston, who rose to fame playing the wholesome girl-next-door character of Rachel in Friends, is happy if the film has redefined how the public sees her.
'I've had had really great jobs in my life that I've had a ball doing, but there was something about playing this woman that was like nothing else I had ever experienced,' says Aniston.
'The fact that is was so farfetched and unrealistic made it actually a lot easier to play and a lot more fun.'
'Come on. Who wouldn't love to put that skin on for a day,' she said.
Aniston says there is a distinct change in the way comedies are being written for women lately.
'It's hard to get really crazy comedies out there for women,' she said.
'I love that with Bridesmaids and I think that's so true,' she says of the increase in women taking more assertive roles in comedies. 'I think it's really good because most of the big comedies are fueled by men. It's the Stillers, the Sandlers, the Careys.'
