Jennifer Aniston dished about her sex scene with Jon Hamm

Jennifer Aniston admitted that her sex scene with Jon Hamm was rather choreographed.

According to the actress, she felt super comfortable going through the motions with her co-star in Morning Show. In the presence of their director, Mimi Leder, Jennifer said she felt plenty supported. When they were offered, the actors declined to have an intimacy coordinator on set with them.

In recent years, an intimacy coordinator has become more normal on set in Hollywood. Jennifer told Variety that when she asked to know more about their role, she was told: "Where someone asks you if you’re OK." She worried that the sex scene would get more awkward and felt both actors were "seasoned" enough to figure it out.

However, according to SAG-AFTRA, the role goes much further. They define the role as "an advocate, a liaison between actors and production…in regard to nudity and simulated sex and other intimate and hyper-exposed scenes". The union strongly recommends intimacy coordinators be present for scenes involving nudity and sex.

Nonetheless, Jennifer explained to Variety in their interview that she was from the "olden days" and trusted her director and editor for guidance. Reese Witherspoon, who was also present for the conversation, dismissed the notion that the scene itself was "explicit".

In terms of the more romantic side of relationships her character explores, Jennifer said she has a "bad picker" and radar when it comes to love interests. She elaborated: "Maybe we’ll find out why she has such a bad picker. It’s hard to be a really successful woman and make that part of your life — it’s sort of the last thing on your to-do list. You’re busy doing so many other things in the world, which is why I think I failed so terribly at marriage."

Topics like relationships and sex are integral to the show. After all, Reese emphasised that she wanted fans to take away some of the "adult conversations about issues that we’re dealing with every day in real time in our workplace environments and in our personal lives". For Reese, she thinks the show mirrors our real world, including that spicy scene Jennifer divulged fans about.
