Jennifer Aniston had to fight for her role in "Cake"

Jennifer Aniston had to fight for her role of Claire Bennett in "Cake" because the role was offered to other actors according to femalefirst.co.uk.

Aniston told Collider, "Cake tops my list of experiences, and I've had some extraordinary experiences. It wasn't a knock-down, drag-out fight, but it was offered to other actors that you would expect a part like that would go to."

"It just really grabbed me hard, and I just knew that I wanted to do everything I possibly could to just get my hat in the ring. That moment happened when I could sit in the room with (director) Daniel (Barnz), and I said, 'I will take no shortcuts. I will go to the moon and back. I know what this requires.' And god love him".
