Jennifer Aniston: 'The Rachel' Was Ugly

Heresy: Jennifer Aniston thinks The Rachel was ugly. Aniston inspired multitudes of mall-goers with the iconic haircut in the early seasons of Friends. Those shaggy layers and sideswept bangs practically made Jen into the star she is today. ("You can't imagine what it's like to be a haircut and not an actor," she said in 1998.) And now she's trash talking the classic 90s crop. "How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," Aniston told Allure's Danielle Pergament. "What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?"

Aniston hasn't quite forgiven her beloved hairstylist Chris McMillan for befouling her head with such a monstrosity: "I love Chris but he's the bane of my existence because he started that damn Rachel."
