Jennifer Aniston is set to star on the new Apply TV+ series, The Morning Show, along with Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carrell. Although fans are now excited to see their favorite star on the small screen again, rumors have it that the 50-year-old actress is on the verge of breaking down over the pressure of working on her latest show.
A publication alleged that Aniston is "pushing herself to the brink" to make sure that The Morning Show would be a success. A so-called insider revealed that the Friends star is "throwing herself headfirst" into this new project. Allegedly, it is already taking its toll on her.
People close to Aniston are starting to be concerned about her health as she is already pushing herself way too hard for the show. The source continued to say that Brad Pitt's ex is "under an insane amount of pressure," from memorizing her lines to filming her scenes take after take. The tipster also contended that she hasn't had a demanding schedule like this before since her Friends days. Hence, it is not only affecting her physically but also emotionally.
She allegedly has no time for herself, exercising, and preparing her meals that she is only grabbing food when she has a chance, resulting in gaining weight. Also, her sleep pattern is reportedly ruined because she is working too long that her personal life is already suffering. She, too, is not seeing anyone of her friends, making them all worried that she is on the verge of breaking down.
Gossip Cop stressed that there is no truth to this story, debunking the claims of a breakdown. The Morning Show already wrapped up its filming in May. Hence, there is no memorizing, filming, and other pressuring events that come with the show's production. Instead, Aniston is busy promoting the series.
She, too, is used to be working on multiple projects at the same time. So, there is no way that she will feel overwhelmed by The Morning Show. Aniston's spokesperson even denied the claims, confirming Justin Theroux's former wife is perfectly healthy and happy.
Why Aniston won't be happy? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple TV+ invests too much money to make The Morning Show. One episode already costs $15 million, which means two seasons -- each has 10 episodes -- are worth $300 million to make.
Aniston and Witherspoon's pay per episode even reaches $2 million each. Hence, they have $20 million per season or $40 million for two seasons. The deal also comes higher with the "producing fees and ownership points." With that huge amount, the expectations are now high for The Morning Show, which is set to be out in November on Apple TV+.
