Jennifer Aniston has said she is “a late bloomer,” insisting she has only recently figured out who she is.

The 41-year-old actress, who parted ways with husband/actor Brad Pitt in 2005, said the past decade has been tough.

“I’m a late bloomer. Some people take their 20s to figure out who they are but I did more of that in my 30s because fame stunts your growth in some way,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Sky Movies Magazine.

She added: “The 30s were kind of a challenge quite frankly.”
