After "Friends" ended in 2004, Jennifer Aniston went on to have a successful movie career with her best films being hits like "Marley & Me," "Horrible Bosses" and "Dumplin’." Of course, it's also hard to forget about her iconic role in the 2006 romantic dramedy film "The Break-Up," which made more than $100 million at the box office. Now, Aniston is getting real about how she felt about the timing of the offer for that role, which ironically came shortly after her "little separation” from Brad Pitt.

The year that Jennifer Aniston landed the role of a soon-to-be ex in "The Break-Up," she was going through the same thing in real life. She and then-husband Brad Pitt announced their separation in 2005 amidst infidelity rumors about Pitt allegedly dating his "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie. While re-watching "The Break-Up" during a segment for Vanity Fair, Aniston revealed how she felt about being offered the role soon and, apparently, she viewed it as a positive "opportunity."

00:48because they thought, oh, is that insensitive?
