Jennifer Anistonhad nothing to fear when it came to getting intimate withJon Hammon camera.
The Morning Showactress, 54, opened up about hersteamy sex scenewith her costar and friend on the satirical dramedy and why she felt no need for an intimacy coordinator while shooting.
With the show’s director Mimi Leder present for the scene, Aniston toldVarietythat she felt “protected” and “never felt uncomfortable.” Her longtime friendship with Hamm, 51, was also a big factor for her sense of ease.
“Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, ‘You OK?’” she recalled. “It was also very choreographed. That’s the beauty of Mimi and our gorgeous editor, the music and lighting. So, you don’t prepare.”
When producers asked if Aniston and Hamm would like an intimacy coordinator on set, theFriendsalum confessed she didn’t know what that meant, coming from the “olden days.”
She continued, “They said, ‘Where someone asks you if you’re OK,’ and I’m like, ‘Please, this is awkward enough!’ We’re seasoned — we can figure this one out. And we had Mimi there.”
Aniston shared her desire to see Alex “maybe try to find even a human connection, a love connection of some sort.”
“I’d love to see how Alex is with intimacy- of not only just a female but of a male,” she explained. “Because that’s something I think would be really clumsy, and I think it’d be really fun to explore that awkwardness of trying.”
