'I see the new crop of actresses and think, "Aren’t we the same age?"' Jennifer Aniston admits losing perspective and 'feeling old'

At 43, Jennifer Aniston is still as glossy and gorgeous as during her days on Friends.
And she admits her glow is down to her current 'peaceful and joyful' state, thanks to her relationship with Justin Theroux, 40.
In a revealing interview with InStyle magazine, the actress says 2012 for her will be about enjoying life with her new man. 'We're trying to live between both coasts,' she says. 'I want to see friends more and travel more. I say that every year, but this year, I’m going to do it!'
'You lose perspective': Ever-youthful Jennifer Aniston is stunning in a new photoshoot for InStyle magazine, and says she forgets that she's not the same age as the 'new crop' of twenty-something actresses
The actors have been inseparable ever since.
'Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want. As I get older, I realise what qualities are important in love, what suits me and what I won’t settle for.'
Aniston says she has long since moved on from some of those 'lessons,' and insists that tabloid headlines about her long-running feud with love rival Angelina Jolie is far from the truth.
'Peaceful and joyful': The actress is blissfully in love with her boyfriend Justin Theroux, but don't try to say that she's stealing his biker look: 'He has great style - But has it influenced mine? No'
'You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are twenty-something, or the new crop of actresses and think, "Aren’t we kind of the same age?" You lose perspective.
'Or being offered the part of a woman with a 17-year-old child. It’s like, "I’m not old enough to have a 17-year-old!" Then you realise, well, yeah, you are.
But she adds: 'I don’t feel my age. I feel young every day.'
The jeans and flip-flops loving star says: 'I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend’s T-shirt.'
But don't say that she has copied Justin's 'biker' look! 'He has great style – it’s very specific and it has been his style forever,' she says. 'But has it influenced mine? No. I know people say it has - "Oh look, you’re dressing alike". And I think, "No I’m not. I’ve had this jacket for three years!"'
'On the red carpet, it’s time for me to start doing something different. I play it very safe, because I just want to be comfortable. If I could wear a jersey tank that went down to the floor, I would.'
Her style staples? 'Boots, a great blazer, a scarf and jeans. I like Rag & Bone, Vince and Generra jeans, which they don’t make any more. And a black leather jacket for winter.'
'As I get older I realise what I won't settle for': Jen says the biggest misconception about her is 'the triangle with my ex-husband – and that there’s a feud. A story that has nothing to do with reality'
'I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly. I try to weed out stuff. My girlfriends come over for cheese and wine and go shopping in my wardrobe. They especially love it when they get stuff with a tag still on.'
Her toned figure as as impressive as ever, but Jennifer says she wants to shift the extra weight she's gained since giving up cigarettes. 'I don’t make resolutions, but I quit smoking recently and it put a couple of pounds on me that are hard to lose,' she says. 'Everybody says it’s normal, but I’d like to get rid of them!'
