Jennifer Aniston has played many roles over the years, but now the 44-year-old will be taking on the role of a stripper in the new comedy “We’re the Millers”.

How did Aniston get her body into shape for her sexy role? Aniston told “Access Hollywood”, that “I was on a very like, greens and vegetables and lean proteins and kale”. When most people need a cheat day they will have a piece of cake or a candy bar, she ate kale chips, of all things. “When I really wanted to have a cheat day. I had to have a kale chip,” she said.

I just inhaled a candy bar. Perhaps it's time to try Jennifer Aniston's Stripper Kale Chip diet.

Not only was it hard being on such a strict diet, but Aniston also had to learn her “moves” while recovering from an injured knee. “It wasn’t easy because I’d just had knee surgery a month and a half before. It was a little bit tedious. And then also just getting trained physically — I was really in shape then,” she told USA Today. “I was in the kind of shape I don’t enjoy being in because it feels a little too fit.”‘

Even though Aniston was in near perfect condition, she still was worried about her “kibbles and bits” showing, and decided to double up on lingerie. “I had no taping. I really just doubled my bras. I had a thong and then two pairs of underwear,” she said. “Why I thought that was going to help protect anything is beyond me. Because, that’s just like ridiculous . . . I was like, ‘No, I need three bras! I need three bras because God forbid that one, if it’s gonna escape!'”

“We’re the Millers” will air in theaters on August 7th.
