Jennifer Aniston may have been snubbed by the Oscars, but the former Friends star is not only feeling the love for her role in Cake, but also opening up like she never has before. Aniston reveals that she not only lives with dyslexia, but she wasn’t diagnosed until she was in her 20’s.
“The only reason I knew [that I had it] was because I went to get a prescription for glasses,” Aniston tells THR. “I had to wear these Buddy Holly glasses. One had a blue lens and one had a red lens. And I had to read a paragraph, and they gave me a quiz, gave me 10 questions based on what I’d just read, and I think I got three right. Then they put a computer on my eyes, showing where my eyes went when I read. My eyes would jump four words and go back two words, and I also had a little bit of a lazy eye, like a crossed eye, which they always have to correct in photos.”
She was told she had dyslexia and the diagnosis was life-changing. “I thought I wasn’t smart. I just couldn’t retain anything. Now I had this great discovery. I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained.”
And yes she was asked about Brad Pitt and their divorce.”We’re not in daily communication. But we wish nothing but wonderful things for each other. Nobody did anything wrong. You know what I mean? It was just like, sometimes things [happen]. If the world only could just stop with the stupid, soap-opera bullshit. There’s no story. I mean, at this point it’s starting to become — please, give more credit to these human beings.”
And she even talked about kids, “Listen, that’s a topic that’s so exhausted. I get nervous around that, just because it’s very personal. Who knows if it’s going to happen? It’s been a want. We’re doing our best.”
