She said, "It was such an emotional moment for me. I was nearly brought to tears."

Aniston added that she knew she wanted to be in the film the moment she finished reading the script, despite the fact that it was physically taxing on her body. The actress said that she had to go on multiple trips to the chiropractor and massages to help maintain "her sanity" while filming.

She noted, "I knew I was going to do it because it was a challenge but an opportunity to express empathy for the character and all those undergoing similar experiences."

Directed by Daniel Barnz and producer Ben Barnz, Cake, does not have a U.S. release date yet as the film is still looking for a distributor.
