Jennifer Aniston is Happy to Be Discussing 'Cake' & Not Her Personal Life

Jennifer Aniston gives a friendly smile and wave to the crowd as she arrives for her appearance on Good Morning America on Wednesday (January 21) in New York City.

The 45-year-old actress opened up about how nice it is to be talking about her role in Cake as opposed to her personal life all the time.

“I know. It brings up a great discussion,” she said. “That’s what we want to do when we make movies.”

She added, “Comedies we love because God knows we need to laugh and escape and disappear and sort of have a little fluff here and there, but this is also so important to me. I’m so grateful to our director Daniel Barnz for taking a shot and saying yes.”
