Jennifer Aniston made sure to stick to her exercise routine by going for a run while taking a break from filming The Morning Show. Despite her busy schedule, the 53-year-old actress appeared happy and energized as she hit the pavement for a morning jog before shooting scenes in Brooklyn on Thursday.

Staying Active: Jennifer Aniston made sure to stick to her exercise routine by going for a run during breaks from filming The Morning Show. She sported a stylish grey baseball cap and stayed entertained with her Apple air pods.
Afterwards, she was spotted chatting with co-star Reese Witherspoon as they both returned to the set to continue shooting scenes. Jennifer portrays Alex Levy, who co-hosts The Morning Show with Mitch Kessler (played by Steve Carell), and faces challenges in the first season when he is let go due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
Out and about: The actress, aged 53, appeared cheerful as she headed out for her morning jog before starting work in Brooklyn on Thursday.
Going out and about: The beloved actor from Friends wore tight leggings along with a black jacket and gray sneakers.
She is later replaced by the spontaneous local news journalist Bradley Jackson (played by Reese) when her stories start gaining national recognition.
Both her and Reese have been busy filming the third season of The Morning Show since it returned in August.

There’s no stopping Jennifer as she happily heads out for her morning run. Paul Marks, the character he plays, is portrayed as a powerful business mogul aiming for control of the TV network on The Morning Show. It’s quite a twist casting Jon, who recently starred in a funny Apple TV+ ad where he humorously rants about not being featured amongst the big stars on the platform. In a funny turn of events, he even pauses to watch part of The Morning Show.
Returning to the set, the actress was spotted catching up with her colleague Reese Witherspoon as they resumed shooting their scene. One person exclaimed, ‘Jen and Reese together, but no Jon! What a missed opportunity!’ It is unknown if the casting of Jon, announced in August, had been discussed prior to filming the scene that eventually received an Emmy nomination. Reese and her co-star Billy Crudup, who portrays the network CEO in The Morning Show, have both been nominated for Emmy awards for their performances, along with Marcia Gay Harden, who had a guest appearance as a journalist in the second season. Nicole Beharie, known for her roles in Miss Juneteenth and Sleepy Hollow, is also set to join the cast for the upcoming third season. While The Morning Show is a work of fiction, it draws inspiration from Brian Stelter’s non-fiction book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.
Jennifer stars as Alex Levy in The Morning Show, where she shares hosting duties with Bradley Jackson, portrayed by Reese.
