for , the star expressed that she’s glad she got her start before the internet generated new roles for celebrities (influencers, YouTubers, etc). She even took issue with streaming services, which is ironic given that she was promoting the upcoming season of – a streaming service series. “I feel so lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today,” she said. “More streaming services, you’re famous from TikTok, you’re famous from YouTube, you’re famous from Instagram. It’s almost like it’s diluting the actor’s job.” Aniston is now copping a ton of backlash, with many people pointing out that her parents are millionaire industry veterans. In response to Jennifer’s statements during the interview, Sebastian said: “That brings me to something I’m curious to ask you about Did you find anything different with it being a streaming service? Or how did you approach the dialogue piece of this?” “Well, was — half-hour was so easy compared … I mean, you had an audience,” she responded. “And by the way, every actor who was a film actor who came onto our show, they were terrified.

Why be so exclusive? Is that what Rachel Green would be like? Actually, it probably is. But we should still do better.
