Jennifer Aniston Discovers Wii, Says She's "late bloomer"

By Ian Mikutel / Friday, 21 November 2008

In an interview with The New York Times Lynn Hirschberg, Jennifer Aniston talked about Blackberrys, FunnyOrDie.com, YouTube, Facebook, and the Wii.

When asked that since the web has taken off in the years following "Friends", how exactly has Internet stardom affected her life, Aniston said:

 

"Here's where I luck out: I'm really computer illiterate. When I see people on their BlackBerrys, working them like some girls work a hair dryer, I'm just stunned. People have sent me clips from FunnyOrDie.com or YouTube, but I never seek it out. I did love that little girl in the Will Ferrell landlord clip on FunnyOrDie, but I'm content with just checking my e-mail."

 

However, when pressed on the issue and asked about the possibility of using Facebook, Aniston revealed:

 

"It's not for me. I'd be opening myself up too much. I don't want to sound like a complete innocent - I've looked at things, of course. But it's such spewing. If I look at it, I'll be affected. It's like dancing with the devil. But I have spent hours on FirstDibs.com, looking at furniture. And I like to play Scrabble. And poker. I discovered Wii this weekend. I'm a late bloomer."

 

And thus, after 2 years, over 36 million consoles sold, and everyone from the young to senior citizens recognizing the Wii phenomenon, it's good to see the 39-year-old Aniston finally coming into the fold.
