At a press conference promoting the comedy, Aniston -- sleek and glowing in a Calvin Klein top, Tom Ford skirt, and Michael Kors shoes -- laughed off any questions about taking on the role to tamper with her all-American image.
"I just took it because I loved it and I thought it would be a fun challenge and fun for me to step out of what people usually like to see me play," she says.
She had no qualms about some of her more colorful lines. "The raunchier the better. It was pretty easy," says Aniston.
Aniston, 42, has been back in the tabs thanks to her romance with actor/writer Justin Theroux. She told the appreciative crowd of reporters that she feels sexy and confident in her own skin. "At the age of 60, I'm doing pretty good," quips Aniston. "I absolutely get more comfortable in my body as I get older, way more than when I was in my 20s. I was so awkward and uncomfortable."
Her Julia Harris has brown hair -- by design, says Aniston, even though the studio was worried about her going dark. "I knew I wanted her to look different. I wanted her to have dark hair. I felt such freedom. That was really fun," she says.
And since she plays a pretty horrific boss, the most challenging gig she'd ever had? "The toughest job I ever had was being a bike messenger in New York City. Yeah. I was 19," she says. "Extraordinarily klutzy. "I was very uncoordinated. I should have never been allowed on a bicycle."
A large of number of questions were directed at Aniston, who sat flanked by her costars Charlie Day, Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis. Mostly, she charmed the audience by saying a lot without saying very much. "You don't want to play it safe all the time. I've never had a script come to me that allowed me to go into this direction. It was a great opportunity," she says.
