Jennifer Aniston's dad was against acting
Friday, 11 September 2009
Jennifer Aniston's father didn't want her to be an actress.
The 'Bounty' star has revealed John Aniston - who is also an actor - begged her to choose a "less iffy" career.
The 40-year-old star said: "My dad did not want me to do this at all. It wasn't that he didn't think I could, but he just thought that it was such an iffy thing."
But instead of being discouraged, Jennifer says her father's disapproval spurred her to go to even more auditions.
She told People magazine: "I think there was a part of his discouragement that kind of fuelled my drive in a way."
In her next film 'The Goree Girls', Jennifer tackles a new challenge - singing on screen.
The movie - which is based on the true story of a group of female prison inmates who formed a country music band in the 1940s - see the actress playing the guitar while belting out a series of songs.
She said: "I can carry a tune. It won't be bad. Here's the good news, the band - they weren't musicians. They basically created a band in prison in order to get paroled.
"So you're dealing with new singing voices and new instrument playing and somehow they find a way and become a huge phenomenon. It's a true story."
