This was true for Aniston in ‘We’re The Millers’, where she initially hesitated about the scene but eventually took the plunge when the cameras started rolling.

Speaking to UPI, Aniston admitted, “I would say that was a challenging one for me.

I just had to do it.

We rolled the cameras and I just had to bite the bullet.”

As the scene progressed, her anxiety levels soared.

“It was a little uncomfortable at first, but then you get into it.

Doing the rehearsals alone with [the choreographer] and then all of a sudden you’re on the set and there are three cameras and a bunch of crew.

Yeah, it was a little intimidating at first,” she shared.

Aniston also disclosed the strict diet she followed for the role, surviving on salads, celery sticks, cucumbers, and ice chips.

She managed to sneak in kale chips for a snack amidst the strict regimen.

Before filming the controversial scene, Aniston made it a point to ensure her private areas remained hidden.

Reflecting on it later, she confessed to HuffPost that she may have gone overboard with caution by wearing multiple layers of clothing.

“I had no taping.

I really just doubled my bras,” she chuckled.

“I had a thong and then two pairs of underwear.

Why I thought that was going to help protect anything is beyond me.

Because, that’s just like ridiculous.

… I was like, ‘No, I need three bras!

I need three bras because God forbid that one, if it’s gonna escape!’”
