Jennifer Aniston Spills Beans on Her Personal Life

The 45-year-old Cake actress revealed in an interview to The Hollywood Reporter that she suffers from Dyslexia. The actress‘s condition was diagnosed in her early 20s. Her diagnosis happened by chance when she went for a prescription for glasses.

Friends’ alum had to wear Buddy Holly glasses with a blue lens in one and red lens in the other.  It was found that the actress couldn’t read properly and also that she had a lazy eye. The discovery of her dyslexic condition was life-changing for Aniston because until the diagnosis, she could never explain her childhood trauma-dies, struggle in school, anger issues, tragedies, and dramas.

The actress also opened up about her rocky relationship with her model mom Nancy Dow. Aniston’s father John Aniston, a former soap star, divorced Dow in 1980. Aniston revealed that her mother was overtly critical of her. The two were estranged for over a decade, after Dow came out with “From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir” in 1999. Dow was also excluded from the star-studded invite list at Aniston’s wedding to Brad Pitt.

Aniston also spoke about her failed marriage with Brad Pitt. She revealed that although they don’t communicate much, there is no hard feeling against one another. No one was at fault and the marriage just didn’t work out.

On the recent Oscar snub for her movie Cake, about $7 million indie drama that is slated to release on  Jan. 23, the actress felt a bit disappointed but was happy to receive other nominations. Aniston, who is currently engaged to Justin Theroux, has only praises for her fiancé of over two years. She finds him funny and easy to hang around with. However, she played coy on issues of her marriage and impending motherhood.

The actress revealed that she would like to meet Dalai Lama and also open an art studio in future.
