Jennifer Aniston covers the May 2012 issue of Marie Claire Australia.

Sporting her signature smile and a beautiful orange dress, the 43-year old actress tells the mag about her boyfriend, Justin Theroux, why she’s no longer guarded in life, and what it feels like filming topless scenes. Here are some excerpts from the interview:On her boyfriend Justin Theroux:
“He’s a protector, for sure. He’s just a good human being, and so funny.”

On the secluded set of Wanderlust:
“All of a sudden I began decompressing. It’s weird, but it felt like living a normal life; almost like having your anonymity back. Nobody bothered us and we were protected as a group. There were no paparazzi and no secret, tricky little cell phone pictures being taken. I realized how paranoid and guarded and not trusting – walled-in – I had become. Not consciously so, but just this armor that I kind of have, protective armor. It’s not for my friends or family, but for being outside in the world, always on guard.”

On shooting a topless scene for Wanderlust: “There are always nerves when you shoot a scene like that. But the adrenaline takes you through it and then you have the girls come in and cover you up immediately. I got very comfortable with seeing nude people, pretty much immediately. It was bizarre to know that these were actually nudists – because there’s a nudist colony in Clarkesville – and how comfortable they are being nude.”
