11 Perfect Times Actors Went Incredibly Dark

8. Jennifer Aniston - Horrible Bosses

Who would have thought that Jennifer Aniston - TV's own sweetheart, Rachel Green - would end up playing a dangerous sexual aggressor who weaponises her body and attempts to destroy the target of her lust so successfully that he tries to have her murdered? That's a hell of a change of career path.

Sporting a brown wig to intentionally look different to her other roles, Aniston's penis fly trap monster is as far removed from Rachel as you could possibly imagine. She's a grotesque caricature of workplace sexual harassment, ingeniously respinning every reductive misogynist trope through a female filter. That's how you hold up a mirror.

She's not only amoral, but an outright criminal who drugs Charlie Day's dental nurse, Dale and repeatedly sexually abuses him. And yet, hers is arguably the most lauded performance in the entire film.
