Sept. 20, 2013— -- intro: If you had no idea Jennifer Aniston has a half brother, you are not alone.

Alex John Aniston hasn't been photographed publicly since he was a clean-cut 14-year-old at the 2004 Hollywood premiere of his celebrity sister's film "Along Came Polly."

When cameras caught up with him nine years later at the anything-goes Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, AJ -- as he is known -- looked the polar opposite of his polished older sister. The 24-year-old son of Aniston's father, "Days of Our Lives" star John Aniston, and his second wife, actress Sherry Rooney, was punked out with a mohawk hairstyle, tattoo-covered body and Mad Max-inspired outfit.

Asked for a comment about his sister, AJ told the U.K.'s Daily Mail, "It's been happening since middle school [people asking about Jennifer]. It's been a pain in my ass for years. No comment."

For her part, Jennifer Aniston has said nothing about her younger brother, who described himself to the Daily Mail as a "travelling artist," and has never appeared in public with him.

I just didn't choose to do the show," she once told MTV. "I want to be a singer, and I felt if I'd stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away. [Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important."media: 20308264
