Actress Jennifer Aniston, who won the People's Icon Award at the 2019 E! People's Choice Awards this year, says she has earned the title of being an icon because of her fans and the still popular sitcom Friends.

Aniston has enjoyed phenomenal popularity over the years, since she became famous as Rachel Green in Friends, the sitcom that ran from 1994 to 2004. She credited the hit sitcom for giving her all the opportunities and rewards in an emotional speech, reports eonline.com.

She accepted the award from her longtime friend and co-star Adam Sandler.

She said she is an icon because of ‘an iconic show with an iconic cast and iconic haircut’.

‘Friends was truly the gift of a lifetime and I would not be standing up here without that amazing show and those amazing five other actors and with an audience who stuck with us for a decade and through streaming services now, and syndication and I'm sure coming to a watch soon near you or something! But anyway, you believed in us, you really did, and you believed in those very impossible large apartments, but you had to believe it because we were telling our story. But it's paved the way for everything that I've had the chance to do since,’ she added.

Aniston also opened up about her recent series The Morning Show, which marks her first return to TV since saying goodbye to her iconic character of Rachel Green.

She said that she is ‘back on television, where it all started and I'm so excited. I'm with another incredible ensemble cast...so thank you for tuning in’.    —Mid day
