Who knew? Jennifer Aniston and Chaz Bono pictured together in unearthed high school photograph

By Daily Mail Reporter


Proving that there really is a only six degrees of separation between every Hollywood star, a new photo has emerged of Jennifer Aniston and Chaz Bono when they were teenage gal pals in school.

Both were students at the prestigious New York City High School Of Performing Arts in 1987 when transgender star Chaz was known as Chastity.

The school picture shows the pair of friends hanging out in a class room.

While they are both casually dressed in T-shirts, trousers and their big hair loose and long.

Aniston, now 42, went on to land string of TV parts before getting her break on the hit TV series Friends.

Bono, now 41, is one of the most highly anticipated new contestants on Dancing With the Stars, which premieres in the U.S. on Monday amidst outcry from right-wing conservative groups.

His participation on the show is a sure sign of success after a long, difficult struggle with his sexual identity.

Born as the daughter of singers Cher and Sonny Bono, Chaz came out openly as a lesbian in 1995, and in 2008 began undergoing the social and physical transformation from female to male, which was legally completed in May 2010.

The ground-breaking star chronicled his experiences in the documentary film Becoming Chaz that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

The memoir movie was nominated for a creative Arts Emmy, which were held in Los Angeles on September 10, but it lost out to Ridley and Tony Scott's Gettysburg.

'It's been an honour to be nominated, Chaz told U.S. show Entertainment tonight from the red carpet.

'I did this to really try to help people and to come away with an award on top of it would be amazing.'

Bono attended the event with his beautiful girlfriend Jennifer Elia, who opened up on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight last May about their relationship.

When asked by the Piers whether she preferred Chaz as a man or a woman, she replied: 'I find him more attractive as a man,' said Elia, who says she is a bisexual woman, said that their intimate relationship as a now 'straight couple', has improved 'for the good.'

Chaz admitted that wedding plans had been put on hold due to various issues, most notably his transition.

'We've been engaged for two years and had to put things on hold for a little bit,' he said.

A strong advocate for gay marriage, Chaz did however reveal that they would be married as man and wife.

He's all man now: A fuzzy-faced Chaz Bono shows off his beard for the first time as he runs errands round Los Angeles

All man: Chaz Bono showed off his beard for the first time as he ran errands round Los Angeles

Two years after he started his gender reassignment process, Chaz Bono appears to have completely made the transition from female to male.

He was snapped sporting a new beard as he ran errands round Los Angeles yesterday.
The 42-year-old looked all man with his facial hair and short cropped hair as he filled up his car.

Dressed in shorts and a vest top, Chaz teamed his look with a chunky bracelet, designer watch and aviator sunglasses.

Appearing oblivious to the cameras, he waited for his car to fill before heading off on his busy day around the city.

He then went to the gym, visited his doctor and pottered about the city before heading home.

Chaz, the transgender son of singer Cher and her late husband Sonny Bono, was born female, but has spent the past few years slowly becoming male.

While growing up, he says he always felt uncomfortable and, after years of feeling out of place, he realised he was not Chastity but Chaz.

Chaz has also released a book, Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man, released in May, chronicling his journey from female to male.

He currently lives in California with his girlfriend Jenny in a six-year relationship which transformed, along with him, from a lesbian relationship to a heterosexual one.
