Jennifer Aniston`s father didn`t want her to act.

The former Friends star, 40, has revealed that her dad, John, wasn`t keen on his daughter pursuing an acting career, but he never let his feelings known as it would make her even more determined to follow her dreams.

Jennifer tells British magazine Source, "As a kid I sometimes went to work with my dad. He didn`t want me to act but knew if he told me not to I`d be even more determined.

"He said that the rejection would rip my heart out, but I didn`t believe it. I wanted to find out for myself.

"Starting out, my agent told me I wasn`t being cast because I needed to lose weight. So I dropped 30lbs and landed Friends, only to find myself publicly chastised for being too skinny.

"I didn`t know I was `overweight` until someone told me. Even worse, I offended the entire Greek nation because I was quoted as saying I was not genetically thin, just Greek with big boobs and ass. I feel lucky to have them. All shapes and sizes are beautiful."
