One reveal from Jenner Aniston will leave Friends fans shook. In an interview Glamour back in 2015, the actress who brought the beloved character Rachel Green to life made a startling confession—she was not a fan of her famous haircut. Yep, you heard that right. Aniston's iconic 'do on the NBC series that had girls envious and guys falling in love was not exactly her favorite look.

Aniston explained, "I was not a fan of the Rachel.' That was kind of cringe-y for me. Looking back, honestly, even during that time — I couldn't do it on my own. I needed [my hairstylist] Chris [McMillan] attached to my hip. Left to my own devices, I am not skilled with a hairbrush and blow-dryer."

Fair enough! So Aniston may not have been the biggest fan of the hair, but we're sure generations to come will continue to adore it just like the OG fans of Friends. The "Rachel" cut instantly became a phenomenon, and will go down in history as one of the most iconic in fictional character looks.

Thankfully for Aniston, by the third season of the long-running show, her hair was back to a more manageable cut. But fans at home will always imagine Rachel Green with that initial style.
