During filming for the third season of The Morning Show, Jennifer Aniston found herself in a slightly uncomfortable situation while shooting a s** scene with her co-star Jon Hamm.
Admitting her lack of familiarity with the role of an intimacy coordinator, whose responsibility is to ensure the safety and comfort of actors during intimate scenes, Aniston recounted her initial reaction when the question arose about having one present on set.
In a joint interview with Reese Witherspoon published by Variety on December 11, she humorously revealed her skepticism, saying, “They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator.
I’m from the olden days, so I was like, ‘What does that mean?'”
The seasoned actress, who rose to fame in the ’90s, went on to express her confidence in navigating such situations, quipping, “Please, this is awkward enough!”
She praised the director Mimi Leder and her co-star Jon Hamm for creating a comfortable atmosphere on set, emphasizing that she felt well-supported throughout the filming process.
Aniston highlighted Hamm’s considerate demeanor, noting his attentiveness and professionalism during the scene.
Their longstanding friendship prior to working together played a role in easing any potential discomfort, with Aniston fondly referring to Hamm as the “Hammanator.”
Their introduction was facilitated by mutual friend Paul Rudd, who has strong ties with both Aniston and Hamm.
Witherspoon, another co-star on The Morning Show, also shared how her friendship with Hamm blossomed through Rudd, highlighting the interconnected relationships within Hollywood.
Reese Witherspoon, known for her on-screen chemistry with Aniston, recalled their first meeting on the set of Friends, where she portrayed Rachel Green’s sister.
She praised Aniston’s kindness and support, emphasizing their enduring friendship that has lasted beyond their initial collaboration.
In addition to Witherspoon, Aniston shares a close bond with Courteney Cox, her longtime friend and former co-star on Friends.
Aniston holds the role of godmother to Cox’s daughter, Coco, underscoring the deep connection between the two actresses.
Reflecting on her friendship with Aniston, Cox expressed admiration for their strong bond, highlighting the joy and laughter they share whenever they are together.
Aniston’s ability to cultivate lasting relationships both on and off screen speaks to her warmth and genuine personality, endearing her to those around her.
