Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Olivia Wilde dazzled in black at the world premiere of sequel Horrible Bosses 2.

The former Friends star returns to her role as sex addict dentist Julia in the comedy and said no matter how raunchy the role got, she was happy to play it.

She said: “I don’t think with Julia anything is too much, I’ve got to be honest. If anything I said ‘Go as far as you can’.”

Olivia arrived with her fiance, Jason Sudeikis, who stars in the sequel.

“It was just so fun – when you have an opportunity like that, you’ve got to just go for it,” Jennifer said.

The film is Jennifer’s first sequel and she explained why she was tempted back.

She said: “The first one, I loved that time, and the part was over so soon. I was really thrilled to be able to play more of Julia because I wasn’t finished yet.”

Co-stars Jason Bateman and Charlie Day, who played hapless employees of nightmare bosses in the first film, are trying to run their own business in the follow-up and were also at the premiere.

Jason Sudeikis, who has often worked with Jennifer including on last year’s We’re The Millers, said he was happy to team up with her again.

“It was good, I didn’t get to do as many scenes with her as in We’re The Millers, but it’s been a fun run,” he said.
