From “The Rachel” haircut to the infamous “we were on a break” line, Friends has given us many iconic moments. But there’s one thing that stood out for Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel Green – her nipples. Fans of the show couldn’t help but notice the actress’ visible nipples through her clothing, leading to endless speculation about whether she intentionally cut holes in her bras to show them off. But in a recent interview, Aniston finally sets the record straight on why her nipples were so visible on the show.
Many of these queries centered around her physical appearance, specifically her breasts. One recurring question that seemed to captivate people’s attention was why her nipples were frequently noticeable through her clothing in certain scenes.
Over the years, numerous viewers have speculated that Jennifer Aniston and her Friends co-star Courteney Cox, who portrayed Monica Geller, deliberately cut holes in their bras to make their nipples more visible on screen.
However, these claims are merely baseless rumors and are not supported by any factual evidence.
One Twitter user said: “You do know [Jennifer] made wardrobe cut holes in her bras so nips would show.”
Another suggested it was the producers doing, writing: “Did you know that Friends’ producers told Rachel and Monica to cut holes in their bras to show their nipples?”
While another Twitter user thought it could be down to the cold temperature in the filming studios, writing: “The amount of cold-nipple appearances on Friends between Monica and Rachel is real!”
In addition to the bra-cutting rumors, other outlandish theories emerged over the years, including the suggestion that Jennifer Aniston wore prosthetic silicone nipples to enhance her appearance on Friends.
In 2017, Aniston finally addressed the issue head-on and shed light on her stance regarding objectifying women’s bodies. She spearheaded the #FreeTheNipple movement, which aimed to challenge the double standards in society regarding male and female nudity.
She told Vogue: “Yeah, I don’t know what to say about that! It’s just one of those things, I guess.
Several fans have offered an alternative theory, suggesting that Jennifer Aniston wore a sheer, non-padded bra to prevent any accidental flashes while filming, which inadvertently led to her nipples being visible on screen. However, it is important to note that Aniston has never confirmed nor denied any of these claims.
Interestingly, Aniston has previously revealed her distaste for her iconic “Rachel” haircut on Friends, which became a global phenomenon in the 1990s.
Despite its immense popularity, the actress dislikes the hairstyle and the attention it garnered.
She told Allure: “I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.”
Despite her love for her long-term hairstylist Chris McMillan, Jennifer branded him “the bane of my existence because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look!”
The star added: “But hey, I’m not going to complain!”
Despite the unwarranted attention her body received, she addressed the issue head-on and revealed that it was merely a wardrobe choice.
