Jennifer Aniston hoping to relight her box office credentials with new topless film role

By Paul Thompson

Baring all? Jennifer Aniston, pictured in New York last week, is set to go topless in new film Wanderlust


If there was ever an actress in danger of being typecast, it was Jennifer Aniston.

But not for much longer.

In a significant departure from her syrupy, goody-goody rom-com roles, the 41-year-old star is to take on her most risqué role and appear topless.

She is to star in the film Wanderlust, which calls for her to strip off for the first time in her acting career.

Her character also indulges in threesome with two other women, sleeps around with numerous men and takes drugs.

Reports in Hollywood said Aniston has agreed to play the part of a 'free loving' married woman who ends up living in a hippie community.

The role will be a major departure for the actress who found fame playing Rachel in the hit TV series Friends.

In recent years she has appeared in a series of romantic comedies, including The Switch and Bounty Hunter that have failed to win over audiences.

Playing such a wild character - and appearing topless - will be a major departure for Aniston who has built her career on romantic comedies.

According to reports in Hollywood, Aniston is looking to the Judd Apatow directed film to boost her flagging career.

Her most recent film The Switch, in which she played a single woman who uses a sperm donor to have a child, bombed at the box office, taking $8.4million in the U.S. box office on its opening weekend.

Her previous films The Bounty Hunter and Love Happens also performed poorly with audiences in the US and worldwide.

In Wanderlust, Aniston's character Linda moves to a hippie commune after tiring of life in New York City.



Making a mild impression on the box office: Aniston's latest film The Switch only made $8.4million during its opening weekend in the U.S.


In the script, which has been seen by a celebrity website Hollywoodlife.com, Aniston's character rips off her top to distract workmen who are attempting to build a new supermarket.

The film is also likely to include several sex scenes as Aniston's character sleeps with numerous men at a hippie commune where is living with her husband, played by Paul Rudd.

Aniston and Rudd previously co-starred together in romantic comedy The Object Of My Affection 12 years ago.

The prospect of Aniston appearing topless will generate huge publicity for the film and the actress.

Before shooting begins in November Aniston is to be reunited with her former Friends co-star Courtney Cox when she makes a guest appearance in the TV series Cougar Town.
