Jennifer Aniston recently told Ellen Degeneres that she found a gray hair and freaked out. Although Jennifer says this isn’t her first gray hair, it was particularly poignant seeing as she turns the big 4-0 next week. It was like one, lone strand of a reminder that she’s officially middle-aged! (Try telling that to her body, though!)

She told Ellen via People.com:

“I have to say really, I feel better than I ever felt in my life,” Aniston says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing Friday. “I did have a moment, though, over the weekend my first like huh … I don’t want to [turn 40]. I found a really long gray hair, and it kind of flipped me out,” she tells the TV host. “It’s not my first, but it’s the fact that it was so long. I was like, ‘Oh that’s been there. How many others are there, and what does that mean? It actually brought me to tears, slightly.”

The two also talked about her upcoming birthday party on Saturday. Confirmed guests? Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and John Mayer. What? No Brad, Angie and the army of kidlets? Shocking.
