The tongue is twisted! What is Jenn’s real last name?
With such a name, you definitely won’t build a career in cinema.
Jennifer Aniston is a world famous actress. However, few people know the real name of the star of the series “Friends”. It’s not easy to pronounce and even harder to remember.
The grandfather of the future actress Antonios Anastasakis and his family moved to the United States in the 30s. At the new location, he opened a diner. His son Yannis Anastasakis grew up in the United States and became an actor, Americanizing his first and last name.
So he became John Aniston. Born in 1969, Jennifer followed in her father’s footsteps and gained fame as Jennifer Aniston.
The real name of Jennifer Aniston became known in the 7th season of the series “Friends”. At the long-awaited wedding of Monica Chandler, the heroine Jennifer is looking for a priest for lovers.
At some point, she finds herself in the next room, where a Greek wedding is being held. There is a sign saying “The Wedding of Anastassakis Papasifakis”. The first name is the real name of the actress, inherited from her father, with whom she only recently established a relationship.
