Jennifer Aniston and John Aniston

‘s father didn’t want her to be an actress.

The Bounty star recently revealed that John Aniston - Days of Our Lives’ Victor Kiriakis - begged her to choose a “less iffy” career. “My dad did not want me to do this at all. It wasn’t that he didn’t think I could, but he just thought that it was such an iffy thing,” the 40-year-old star said.

But instead of being discouraged, Jennifer says her father’s disapproval spurred her to go to even more auditions. “I think there was a part of his discouragement that kind of fueled my drive in a way,” she told People magazine.

In her next film , Jennifer tackles a new challenge - singing on screen. The movie - which is based on the true story of a group of female prison inmates who formed a country music band in the 1940s - see the actress playing the guitar while belting out a series of songs.

“I can carry a tune. It won’t be bad,” she claims. “Here’s the good news, the band - they weren’t musicians. They basically created a band in prison in order to get paroled. So you’re dealing with new singing voices and new instrument playing and somehow they find a way and become a huge phenomenon. It’s a true story.”
