Modern Family’s Julie Bowen is co-starring with Jennifer Aniston in that upcoming ensemble comedy, Horrible Bosses. In the few interviews I’ve seen with Bowen she’s been laugh out loud funny, so it’s clear she’s making a joke here but it can easily be misconstrued. Anyway Bowen tries to explain Jennifer Aniston’s accessible kind of beauty by saying that she’s beautiful like we all imagine we are when we’re drunk and squint at ourselves in the mirror. That cracks me up. Her comments could also be interpreted as saying that Aniston owes her beauty to drinking, which might not be too far off the mark.
Jennifer Aniston’s appeal is near universal. People want to work with her, protect her, be her or date her. For women, it’s fundamental, says Modern Family’s Julie Bowen – Aniston sets the mark for how they’d like to look.
“She’s one of our own,” Bowen tells PEOPLE of her costar in the upcoming movie Horrible Bosses. “She’s incredibly beautiful in the way that you think you could be if you got drunk enough and looked in the mirror just at the right angle.”
Bowen, 41, says she didn’t even have to film any scenes with Anison, 42, before being sucked in.
“In the makeup trailer, I was pulled into her orbit,” Bowen said with a laugh at the City Year’s Spring Break: Destination Education event at Sony Pictures Studios. “I’ve met her a few times before, she’s an incredibly nice person. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word said about her, and it’s all true.”
Bowen herself has helped reinforce the sex appeal of women in their 40s. But she says Aniston’s allure is underestimated.
“You think she’s an accessible sort of beautiful,” she says with another laugh, “but you really can’t get that beautiful on your own. You’d have to drink your way there.”

That opening line about Aniston is ridiculous: “People want to work with her, protect her, be her or date her.” This is another planted piece by Huvane about how great Aniston is, and I’ll be honest it sort-of works. It’s better to have someone who can string a coherent sentence together sing Aniston’s praises and make a joke about it than quote her directly or plant another story about how she’s dating an up-and-coming star who has previously denied having anything to do with her.
Also, Bowen kind of looks like Aniston but not in a way that at all pales to her. She’s beautiful in her own right. Maybe she has fond memories of getting drunk with Aniston on set and/or is just hoping to get blitzed later. She’s got three boys under the age of six: Oliver, who turned five earlier this month, and twins John and Gustav, who turn two May 8. (I think she’s with Oliver and one of the twins below.)
