Jennifer Aniston stars alongside Hollywood A-listers Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis in new film Horrible Bosses 2, but she’d love to get Benedict Cumberbatch to join the pack.

The 45-year-old actress said that her and her fellow co-stars "bombarded" the Sherlock actor in to agreeing to star in Horrible Bosses 3 after taking a flight together.

Speaking to London Live’s The Evening Show she said: "I just flew on an airplane with him, we all did. We think we recruited him to be in number three as the new boss. He might have said yes and I don't think he knows it.

“Could you imagine being on an airplane and being bombarded by the three boys and me and all of us going 'So you're going to be the new boss?' And I was like, 'He is?'. Apparently he said, 'Yes, apparently I am.' He was very excited to sort of digress with us."

Lucky for Benedict, if he did decided to star in the third film he may not have to travel too far as the Friends actress said she “would do anything to shoot the third film in London. Anything."

In the film Jennifer plays a man-eating character which she says she didn't have to train for.

"Did I have a trainer for my potty mouth? No, that's just going and exploring all those sort of fun, dark corners of your mind. It was all about how could I make Jason Bateman squirm and blush and break. If I can break Jason then I know I've succeeded. I am one of the guys. I'm more man than all three of those guys put together."

After a busy year of starring in and promoting the new film, Jennifer says she is looking forward to spending Christmas at home.

She said: "[Christmas] smells really good. That's a very important thing. I love beautiful smells and scents and candles. I usually have a tree trimming party which is really fun. We make chilli, hot chocolate and all sorts of yummy things.

“Everybody brings an ornament and we hang it on the tree. I've done that for almost 15 years. So many of my friends are 'crafty' they make their own ornaments so you get all your memories tossed up when you're decorating. I now have five trees though because there are so many ornaments..."
