Jennifer Aniston felt offended when her acting teacher suggested she should explore comedy.
She told Elle, "When I was 17 or 18, I was doing a Chekhov play at [Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and] Performing Arts and the audience was laughing. My acting teacher said to me, ‘I think you should explore comedy because you’re funny.’ And I remember at first being quite offended, like, ‘Well, I’m not funny, I’m an actress.’"
"At the time, I was focused on being a ‘serious’ actor. Because I would watch comedies and think,’Oh, that’s funny, that looks easy.’ It didn’t seem like hard work. But it is hard! It’s not easy."
After finishing her studies at a prestigious New York City high school, Aniston quickly shot to fame as Rachel Green on Friends.
