Jennifer Aniston disclosed her struggles over the wig for the film 'Horrible Bosses'

In the comedic hit film, Horrible Bosses (2011), Jennifer Aniston took a departure from her iconic blonde image, playing a role that she fought hard to make her own. The film, directed by Seth Gordon, boasted a star-studded cast, including Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Donald Sutherland, and, of course, Jennifer Aniston.

Aniston's character in Horrible Bosses marked a new chapter for the actress, allowing her to explore roles she hadn't tackled before. The studio, however, had reservations about her transformation, fearing that a brunette look "won't look like [her]," given her long-standing blonde image. But Aniston was adamant, insisting on the change to make her character distinct from her usual blonde appearance. As she put it, "That's kind of the point."

Despite the studio's resistance, Aniston stood her ground and ultimately wore the brunette wig for the role. Looking back, she feels that the wig might still resemble her somewhat, but she's glad she pushed for it.

The success of Horrible Bosses led to a sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, released in 2014. Aniston reprised her role in the film's sequel, once again embracing her unconventional character. The director found her departure from the norm appealing, further cementing Aniston's commitment to taking on diverse roles.

Aniston's performance in both Horrible Bosses films showcased her versatility as an actress, proving that she is more than just her iconic blonde image. Her determination to bring her unique vision to life resulted in memorable performances that continue to delight audiences.
