Jennifer Aniston is such an inspiration! At 56, she's still chasing new dreams. Shows age is just a number. Would love to see her on Broadway - Rachel Green doing theater would be amazing! 😍

Honestly, I think she should have tried Broadway earlier in her career. Now it might be too late - theater requires different skills than TV acting. But wishing her the best!

As someone who grew up watching Friends reruns, Jennifer will always be Rachel to me! But it's nice to see her wanting to challenge herself. Broadway is tough - hope she finds the right script.

Interesting to see Hollywood stars still have bucket lists like us common people! Though her list probably includes private jets and ours includes buying a house 😂

I wonder if she'll ever do a Bollywood cameo? That should be on her bucket list too! Indian audiences love her - Friends is still so popular here. Just saying... 😊
