In the 2011 comedy film "Horrible Bosses," Jennifer Aniston took on a significant departure from her previous roles, playing the character of Dr. Julia Harris, a dentist with a twist. This R-rated comedy, directed by Seth Gordon, featured a star-studded cast, including Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Donald Sutherland, and Jennifer Aniston.

Aniston's character, Dr. Harris, was markedly different from her "girl next door" characters. She was a dentist with a penchant for sexual harassment, targeting her assistant, Dale. This role required Aniston to challenge societal norms and expectations, a prospect she embraced wholeheartedly.

The studio initially preferred Aniston's natural blonde look for the film, but the actress fought for a unique brunette look. She worked hard to convince Warner Bros studio to don this new appearance, and her persistence paid off. Aniston was glad she stood her ground, as she felt the character would help her explore new roles that she had not played before.

Aniston's famous 'Rachel' haircut from the sitcom "Friends" was a popular hairstyle in the 90s. However, in "Horrible Bosses," her character was a significant departure from her past roles, as she put it, "so far away from anything that I am."

The film was a box office hit, and Aniston returned to play her character in the film's sequel, "Horrible Bosses 2," which was released in 2014. Despite the film's controversial nature, Aniston's performance was widely praised, further cementing her versatility as an actress.
