After the hit sitcom, Friends, was released in the ’90s, Jennifer Aniston became a role model for many young girls — and served as major hair inspiration for years. However, we love her for reasons that go beyond her appearance and recognize her for her incredible personality.

We are in love with Jennifer Aniston and here are some facts that prove why she’s a person who deserves to be famous.

1. She makes children’s lives happier and easier.

For more than a decade now, Jennifer Aniston has visited St. Jude Children’s Hospital to help kids who are sick with cancer. She even keeps in touch with the families she meets there. Children love and wait for her, not because she’s a celebrity, but because she has a generous personality.

Aniston says that she started doing everything she could because they’re little heroes. She said, “You see these little miracles walking through something that no child should ever have to be walking through.”

2. She inspires people with speeches about their power.

In 2019, Aniston gave an inspirational speech that touched many hearts. She confessed that she had never thought of herself as a powerful person. At the age of 11, she was excused from a dinner table because she didn’t have “anything interesting to add to the conversation.” This situation stuck with her.

So, last year, the actress was thinking about how messages that we send to young girls influence them and explained, “How the things we say and do can either build them up — or tear them down. And make them feel like maybe their voices don’t matter.”

Aniston claims that every kid deserves a seat at the table. Girls should know that they’re seen, loved, and powerful. And “true power” is your voice “to hold people up and bring people together.”

3. She supports many non-profit organizations.

Besides working with St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Aniston is incredibly philanthropic and makes other people’s lives better. She’s a part of the Stand Up to Cancer campaign where she and other celebs aim to raise awareness about cancer.

Additionally, Aniston donated around $1 million to several racial justice charities. She’s not afraid to talk about brutality and racism and says that it will never be okay. We need to acknowledge it and educate ourselves.

Aniston’s generous heart has helped raise more than $58 million for Haiti by being an active part of hope for the country. And her list of kind actions just goes on and on.

4. She shows us how to be happy and never give up.

It’s truly amazing how great Jennifer Aniston looks at age of 51, but she explains that happiness is the main key and it’s a choice. She has her own philosophy on life and is not one to worry or suffer: “It’s my way; it’s what I’ve been given this round. But I would say I don’t find that any of my past has given me a reason to harden up and create a shell or a wall of ’no more, that’s it, I’m closed.’”

In regards to the question of what she’d say to the younger version of herself if she could go back in time, Aniston responds: “Just wait till you’re 50. It’s going to be amazing.” She appreciates her age and is not sad that people get old. The actress just creates a special relaxed atmosphere around herself, and her smile and sense of humor make people fall in love with her.

5. She fights for women’s rights and freedom.

Aniston tries to explain to society that if you’re not a mother, it doesn’t mean that you’re less of a woman: “I don’t like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women — that you’ve failed yourself as a female because you haven’t procreated. I don’t think it’s fair.” You still take care of pets, friends, friends’ children. And there’s nothing criminal about wearing a bikini at 80 if you want.”

For Aniston, one of the most important things women can do is support each other. She says that we need more female screenwriters because we need more female stories. Their stories are incredible too.
