LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Jennifer Aniston is known for her trim figure, but she admitted she was a chubby pre-teen when opening up to Marie Claire?s July issue about her first acting job.
?When I was 12, I asked him if I could get a part on his show. I wore a yellow skating outfit, and I was kinda large,? Jennifer said of the costume she wore on dad John Aniston?s then-soap ?Search for Tomorrow.? ?It?s hard to look good in yellow, and I certainly did not.?
Bitten by the acting bug, Jennifer said she waitressed to make ends meet as she got older, before her super-success with ?Friends.?
Unfortunately for many patrons of her food establishment, Jennifer was a bad food server.
?I dropped more than one Alpine burger in customers? laps, and you just do not want all of that Swiss cheese and mushrooms in your pants. I wasn?t a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway,? she told the mag.
The actress, who hits the big screen on July 8 in ?Horrible Bosses,? alongside Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, said she eventually moved to Los Angeles after New York proved to be a tough market.
?I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole but not really getting any consistent acting work. Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly,? she said.
While she?s happy in her current job, Jennifer admitted she would have stayed in a creative discipline if acting hadn?t worked out.
?If I weren?t an actor; I?d be: Maybe an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored,? she said. ?I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it?s beautiful. It?s like a beautiful work of art, and I?m very proud of it.?
