Jennifer Aniston, the A-list actress who shot to stardom on the hit comedy show Friends, joined the ranks of Hollywood royalty with her handprints on a storied sidewalk.

Ms Aniston imprinted her hands and feet at a ceremony outside the iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – putting her alongside legends such as Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Fred Astaire – ahead of the debut of her new comedy movie Horrible Bosses.

“All actors who want to do this, it’s really, really fun, but you really, really have to want to do it, (because) there’s all sorts of stuff that comes along with it,” the 42-year-old actress, who will for millions of fans forever be remembered as Rachel from the TV series Friends, said on Thursday.

“But man, I have to tell you, I never in my wildest dreams though that I’d be sticking my body in cement,” added the star, who has had a string of highly publicised relationships with fellow celebrities, after famously splitting with Brad Pitt, including actor Vince Vaughn and musician John Mayer.
