She is to star in the film “Wanderlust” which calls for her to strip off for the first time in her acting career. Her character also indulges in threesome with two other women, sleeps around with numerous men and takes drugs.
Reports in Hollywood said Aniston has agreed to play the part of a “free loving” married woman who ends up living in a hippie community. The role will be a major departure for the actress who has appeared in a series of romantic comedies since making her name as Rachel in Friends.
According to reports in Hollywood, Aniston is looking to the Judd Apatow-directed film to boost her flagging career. Her most recent film “The Switch”, in which she played a single girl who uses a sperm donor to have a child, did not perform well at the box office. In “Wanderlust” Aniston’s character is called Linda who moves to a hippie commune after tiring of life in New York city.
In the script, which has been seen by a celebrity website Hollywoodlife.com, Aniston’s character rips off her top to distract workmen who are attempting to build a new supermarket. The film is also likely to include several sex scenes as Aniston’s character sleeps with numerous men at a hippie commune where she is living with her husband, played by Paul Rudd.
The prospect of Aniston appearing topless will generate huge publicity for the film and the actress. Before shooting begins in November Aniston is to be reunited with her former Friends co-star Courtney Cox when she makes a guest appearance in the TV series “Cougar Town.”
