After Jennifer Aniston recently confirmed that she was, in fact, dating handsome hypnotist and wellness entrepreneur Jim Curtis, she opened up some more about him and their relationship in an interview with Elle magazine, gushing about his many “extraordinary” qualities. While the “Friends” and “Morning Show” star talked up Curtis’ talents as a hypnotherapist, she acknowledged that he keeps busy with a number of business ventures, all of which she describes as beneficial to humanity. “Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does,” Aniston, 56, told Elle. “He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people.” But in saying that her “special” boyfriend is dedicated to helping people heal, “move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity,” Aniston also said something that was extraordinary on its own terms. “He’s very special, very normal, and very kind,” Aniston said. That’s right, Aniston called Curtis, 50, “very normal.” But as The Cut wrote, it’s hard to see Curtis as “normal.” He’s not exactly like Hugh Grant’s rumpled bookseller, dating Julia Roberts’ global superstar, in “Notting Hill.” For one thing, Curtis doesn’t seem to have one professional focus. Instead, he’s extraordinarily diversified, The Cut reported earlier. In addition to being “a master hypnotist,” his social media accounts, websites and LinkedIn page describe him as an entrepreneur, a passionate health advocate, a best-selling author, a hypnocoach, a student of human engagement, and a former executive at companies like WebMD and HealthCentral. Curtis now runs a TikTok Shop management company called UFACTORY, which is somehow aimed at “heart-centered entrepreneurs, coaches and wellness pioneers.” Curtis also has written two books on “9 Skills for Getting Past Pain, Setbacks, and Trauma to Ignite Health and Happiness,” and on “Coding a New Consciousness.” But on top of all that, Curtis is growing a social media following by posting Instagram videos of himself giving advice on life and love, the Daily Mail also reported. In one recent video, he responded to someone asking, “How do I stop falling in love with the idea of someone?” The Cut asked if Curtis can really be called “normal” if one of his ventures — which he would probably say is “heart-centered” — involves charging $1,111 for a four-week Zoom class on the “Magnetic Reality Method.” Then again, “normal” is probably relative, The Cut said. After all, Aniston is very famous and has been so for a long time. Her first husband was Brad Pitt, who emphatically denies that he left her for Angelina Jolie. Aniston also was close friends with the tragically self-destructive Matthew Perry, works in the entertainment industry and “has probably met some of the most bizarre men you could ever imagine,” The Cut added. Aniston hasn’t been publicly connected to anyone since separated from second husband Justin Theroux in 2017. Given that Aniston has gone public with her romance with Curtis, the relationship must therefore be serious. A source recently told People magazine that, with Curtis, “Everything in her life has come together and she’s excited about it.” “Her friends love him, he’s calm, very warm and incredibly supportive, he’s brought a really steady and positive energy into her life,” the insider continued. Very important for a Hollywood star, Curtis is “fascinated” by Aniston’s career — “both as an actress and businesswoman — and loves being by her side to support her.”
