Jennifer Aniston, 54, discusses the one backhanded compliment she truly dislikes about her looks… following her confession that cardio has taken a toll on her body

Jennifer Aniston has a particular dislike for a certain compliment she receives. She absolutely can’t stand it when people say, ‘You look good for your age.’ The actress, who is 54 and has always been dedicated to fitness and a healthy diet, finds the phrase irritating and wishes it would be replaced with a more straightforward compliment like, ‘You look great – period.’ In an interview with British Vogue, she expressed her frustration, saying, ‘It drives me crazy. I can’t stand it. It’s a societal norm to use these age markers like, “Well, at your age…” But I don’t even know what that means.’ Aniston proudly shared that she is in better shape now than she was in her twenties. She feels more confident in mind, body, and spirit, and believes she is 100% better overall.
