Jennifer Aniston has been single for a loooooong minute. There are constantly rumours, of course, and the latest one involved Pedro Pascal after they were seen having dinner with a group of friends – which went nowhere and got shut down fast because, well, we were dealing with amateur gossips. 

 

Now, though, the gossip is coming from pap photos obtained exclusively by the Daily Mail (sorry) of Jen on holiday with a man who is now presumed to be her new boyfriend. 

 

That headline is a bit misleading because, yes, she is on holiday but not just with the hypnotist as Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka are among the group. So it’s a friends trip, though we don’t know if Jen and the hypnotist are *just* friends. Let’s give him a name. His name is Jim Curtis and here he is, ironically I suppose, given the context of this post, showing his Instagram followers how to recover from the disappointment of love. 

 

On looks alone, I buy that Jennifer Aniston would be attracted to Jim Curtis. They seem to be of the same age range, he has good hair, he has a Bradley Cooper face, he looks fit. And she’d totally be into hypnotherapy. Whether or not they’re actually a thing? Right now it’s only photos of them in the same place at the same time. None of the photos suggest anything more than that. But any time Jen is in the vicinity of man, this is where the gossip goes. 

 

His profession, though, gives us something else to talk about. Like, could you date a hypnotist? I’ve never been hypnotised, I’ve always been of the opinion that I’m not suggestible like that and it wouldn’t work on me. But I was just with Shaby, our makeup artist, and we were talking about it and Shaby’s not exactly suggestible either but she did it to quit smoking. And all she knows is that she was told to look at the clock and 45 minutes later she woke up like WTF, I didn’t even know I was hypnotised and didn’t want to smoke anymore. Great for her health, obviously, but those kind of stories f-ck me up because, like, I don’t want to be giving over that kind of control over my mind! 

 

This is the part where people who know about hypnotism or hypnotherapy tell me it doesn’t work that way but I’m sure I’m not the only ignorant bitch out here making those assumptions and wondering how it works. That’s what Shaby and I were talking about while I was in her chair this morning – could you date a hypnotist? If you had Jennifer Aniston level secrets, could you date a hypnotist? 

We are talking about this over at The Squawk today. (App link here)
