Jennifer Aniston goes barefaced on set of new movie Cake

The 45-year-old actress wore a baggy blue jumper, loose cargo trousers and a pair of canvas slip-on shoes as she filmed scenes at a Pasadena cemetery yesterday afternoon (Thursday, April 3).

Aniston, who is also executive producer on the project, stars as Claire Simmons, who becomes fascinated by the suicide of Nina (Anna Kendrick), a fellow member of her chronic pain support group. 

As events unfold, Claire is forced to face her own personal tragedy while embarking on a relationship with Nina's husband.

 

Cake is based on a script by Patrick Tobin and is directed by Daniel Barnz, who recently revealed that he could well be Aniston's "biggest fan".

"Of the zillions of Jennifer Aniston fans, I might be the biggest one of all," said Barnz. "I've especially loved her more dramatic performances, and I can't wait to watch her tackle a role that has such a brilliantly funny voice and so much raw pain. Hats off to writer Patrick Tobin."

 

Aniston and Kendrick's co-star Sam Worthington was also spotted on set.

Felicity Huffman, William H Macy, Britt Robertson, Lucy Walters, Camille Mana, Manuel Garcia Rulfo and Marianne Jean-Baptiste will also appear in Cake.
