Jennifer Aniston held back tears emotionally declaring that she’s ‘still here’, and has been showered in support from fans.

The Friends icon, 55, reflected on her career alongside the likes of Jodie Foster, Sofia Vergara, and Nicole Kidman in a candid new interview.

At one point, in a preview clip shared online, Big Little Lies star Nicole praises Jen for sustaining her ‘enormous’ career over the years.

Joined also by Brie Larson, Anna Sawai and Naomi Watts, Jen, indicating she started her career later than some of the others, says: ‘I wasn’t a baby.’

‘I don’t know how,’ she sighs, talking about how she maintained her Hollywood career over so many years.

Welling up as she looks around the table, the Rachel Green actress – who rose to fame in Friends in 1994 – adds: ‘Everytime I get to sit, like sitting here, I was nervous!’

‘I’ll start to cry… but I get motivated, I’m still here!’ she adds in The Hollywood Reporter conversation, holding back tears as she considers she’s held in the same league as the stars she’s sat beside.

Fans have thrown their support behind Jen, with @noodlesgsy writing: ‘Clearly I have never met the woman but Jen seems like the most down to earth, kind, caring lady. And beautiful to go with it!’

@doramustabitha added: ‘Jen being a girl’s girl is my favorite thing. She’s always rooting the other girls on.’

‘currently rewatching murder mystery while i saw this. she’s so underrated from a comedy perspective. her timing and line deliveries are amazing. she’s so great,’ @uhoh_itsjess wrote.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jen discusses switching from sitcoms to drama, agreeing with Modern Family actress Sofia and saying: ‘I was just going to say, every time I go to work, even when I start the next season of The Morning Show, I’ll think, “I don’t know how to do this.”

‘It’s like I have absolutely zero memory of how to be an actor.’

While she rose to fame alongside Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer in the 90s, with Friends airing until 2004, Jen went on to appear in several films and TV shows, including Bruce Almighty, Marley & Me, Just Go with It and Horrible Bosses.

After being catapulted to worldwide fame, her private life was also thrown into the spotlight with two highly-publicized marriages, with Brad Pitt from 2000-2005, and then Justin Theroux for two years until 2018.

Last year, she described her current outlook on life as ‘phoenix rising’, saying: ‘I feel like I’ve risen out of some ashes.’

Jen continued to Access Hollywood. ‘But I think we always have moments of ups and downs, and ebbs and flows.

‘And it just feels like that period right now is feeling really great about every single thing. I’m very grateful. I’m aging gratefully.’
