She’s remained a vocal supporter of vaccinations in efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.
And Jennifer Aniston admitted she won’t be attending the Emmy Awards next week despite a nomination for Friends: The Reunion.
The 52-year-old actress told Jimmy Kimmel that she’s still taking ‘baby steps’ out of lockdown after following strict quarantine measures.
This is a big step for me to just be here. I’m just like baby steps,’ she admitted.
Last year’s show was held virtually and hosted by Jimmy at the Staples Center with no audience or in-person activities.
This year’s ceremony was originally scheduled indoors at the Microsoft Theatre, but recently moved to an outside deck overlooking the city.
The reunion, which finally aired in May after COVID delays, earned a total of four nominations, including Outstanding Variety Special, Production Design, Lighting Design and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.
In May, Aniston boasted about being ‘fully vaccinated’ in a throwback photo from a Variety photo shoot from 2019 shared to Instagram.
She stood with her hands in the air while wearing a sleek black ensemble to mark the proud occasion as she joined the millions of people in the US protecting themselves from COVID-19 with a vaccine.
‘Fully vaccinated and it feels soooo good,’ she captioned the shot using a musical note and flexed muscle. ‘We are extremely lucky and privileged to have access to Covid-19 vaccines in the U.S. right now.’
