Los Angeles – Motherhood was on everyone's mind on Monday, Aug. 17, at the Arclight Theatre in Hollywood, where Jennifer Aniston introduced her latest romantic comedy "The Switch" to the world. The film is all about a single, 40-year-old woman who decides to use artificial insemination in order to have a child.
Aniston was joined at the fete by her co-stars Jason Bateman, who escorted his wife Amanda Anka, Patrick Wilson and a blue-haired Juliette Lewis, along with the film's composer Alex Wurman and actor friends Jon Heder, Kathy Najimy, Ethan Suplee and Richard Portnow.
But all eyes were on Aniston, who looked slim and lovely in a strapless two-tone Lavin minidress, as she walked the red carpet alone. Her solo status in real life is reflected in "The Switch," but she's not quite ready to follow her character into being a single mother.
But choice for women is an alternative that Aniston insists is a viable option in the 21st century, as she told reporters at an earlier press conference.
"The movie supports what's sort of currently happening in our world today, that we as women have the choices and options of when and how to have children. Family isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot. It's like love is love, and family is what is around you and who's in your immediate sort of sphere," she said. "What I love about this movie is that it's saying it's not the traditional sort of stereotype of what family, as a society, we've been taught. It's evolved."
And as for the question about whether the ex-Mrs. Brad Pitt will ever have children of her own? Well, the 41-year-old superstar sticks by her past statements when it comes to that one.
"I've said it years before. I've said it. I still say it as of today. Yeah, I would like to be a mother someday."
