Jennifer Aniston admitted her ideal weight is between 100lbs and 113lbs.
The actress Horrible Bosses actress has told InStyle magazine she has found a new, fun way to be happy with what she sees on the scale.
The blonde bombshell – who is currently shooting Murder Mystery with Adam Sandler in Italy – told the publication she loves to spar. ‘Last year I discovered boxing, and I love it,’ said the Smartwater spokesperson.
The Friends vet added, ‘I have this trainer named Leyon, who I believe hung the moon. It’s the longest workout I’ve actually stayed with consistently other than yoga.
‘There’s something about the mental aspect of boxing — the drills, your brain has to work, you’re not just sitting on a bike. It’s amazing.’
And it helps her deal with any frustrations she may have.
‘Boxing is a great way to get aggression out. You get a mental release of all this crap you’re taking into your ears and eyes every day and have little fantasy moments imagining who you’re actually punching,’ she said.
‘I’m just grateful it’s not actually the person, even though there’s one person. You know what I mean. It’s all good.’

In her next film, the musical Dumplin’, she plays a former beauty pageants.
When asked if she was every in any, Aniston laughs: ‘That’s hysterical. No. Do you know what I looked like as a kid? The truth is, that’s all changing now. That’s what this movie is all about. It’s about redefining beauty and how we as a society interpret what beauty is.
‘I love that the Miss America pageant is going to get rid of the swimsuit compeтιтion altogether.’
The Along Came Polly actress added, ‘A swimsuit body is a body in a swimsuit, no matter what that body is. It’s time to just stop thinking beauty is in the shape of a size 4 and the right ʙuтт size and the right waist size and the right measurements. It’s just old. We’ve done it. We’ve been there. Let’s move on.’
Talking her childhood: In her next film, the musical Dumplin’, she plays a former beauty pageants. When asked if she was every in any, Aniston laughs: ‘That’s hysterical. No. Do you know what I looked like as a kid?’
Also in her interview she talked about how she has been branded in the media.
‘It’s pretty crazy. The misconceptions are “Jen can’t keep a man,” and “Jen refuses to have a baby because she’s selfish and committed to her career.” Or that I’m sad and heartbroken. First, with all due respect, I’m not heartbroken,’ said the star.
Jennifer split from Justin Theroux earlier this year and they are currently working on their divorce. She was also married to Brad Pitt for five years and has dated Vince Vaughn as well as John Mayer.
The Wanderlust actress added: ‘And second, those are reckless ᴀssumptions. No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors.’ Here she is referring to starting a family.
The Cake star has mercilessly been scrutinized for not having children, often being compared to Pitt’s estranged wife Angelina Jolie, 43, who has six children.
‘No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me,’ said the star.
‘They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally,’ she added, hinting she may have had trouble conceiving.
‘There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do?’
As far as the pressure that comes with being in the spotlight so often, Aniston said she does have breakdowns, only they take place at home.
‘There are definitely moments of not being balanced and poised, but I do that all in my own personal space. For the most part I can sit back and laugh at the ridiculous headlines because they have gotten more and more absurd.
‘I guess they’re feeding into some sort of need the public has, but I focus on my work, my friends, my animals, and how we can make the world a better place. That other stuff is junk food that needs to go back in its drawer.’
The cover girl seemed to be in the mood for serious topics as she also touched on Sєxism.
‘I’ve definitely had my fair share of Sєxism in the media,’ Aniston said.
‘Women are picked apart and pitted against one another based on looks and clothing and superficial stuff.
‘When a couple breaks up in Hollywood, it’s the woman who is scorned. The woman is left sad and alone. She’s the failure. F that. When was the last time you read about a divorced, childless man referred to as a spinster?’
As far as harᴀssment in the workplace, Aniston revealed, ‘I’ve definitely had some sloppy moves made on me by other actors, and I handled it by walking away.
‘I’ve never had anyone in a position of power make me feel uncomfortable and leverage that over me.’
She is cool on set: Luke Evans, center with Jen and Adam, said the two were fabulous to work with
And the siren said women have been worse to her.
‘In my personal experience I’ve been treated worse verbally and energetically by some women in this industry.’
Aniston did not name names.
And she is all for the new Time’s Up movement: ‘It’s long overdue. But we also need to be better at listening to one another. That includes men. They need to be part of this conversation.
‘When everyone is mad and aggressive, people become too afraid to speak and there is no conversation. Same goes for politics. We need to include each other, to hear each other out. We can’t stoop to the anger. Michelle Obama said it best: “When they go low, we go high.” We should all be living by that if we want real progress.’
