Jennifer Aniston has recalled how her character Rosie Dickson’s relationship with her daughter in forthcoming film Dumplin’ made her think of her own, tense relationship with her late mother, Nancy Dow.
“One of the reasons I really loved the mother-daughter aspect of it was because it was very similar in a way to what my mother, and our relationship, was,” Aniston, 49, said.
“She was a model and she was all about presentation and what she looked like and what I looked like.
Aniston later said the pair were “all fine”. Dumplin’ explores the relationship between a former pageant queen mother and her plus-size daughter, who enters a competition to protest beauty standards.
