Jennifer Aniston refused to use intimacy coordinator for ‘awkward’ sex scene with Jon Hamm

Jennifer Aniston has spilled the beans on that infamous sex scene with Jon Hamm for the AppleTV+ series, The Morning Show.

Season three of the show came to AppleTV in September, but discussion around the series drastically picked up after episode six, titled The Stanford Student, was released in October.

The episode sees Jennifer Aniston - who plays the role of reporter Alex Levy - and Jon Hamm - tech billionaire Paul Marks - take part in a particularly steamy scene.

In the build-up to the scene, Marks is looking to buy the UBA Network for a hefty $40 billion.

Marks sits down for an interview with Levy for her segment Alex Unfiltered, and ends up apologising for some of his previous controversial behaviour as a tech giant.

Despite the serious nature of the conversation, it must've reignited the lurking flame between the duo as the pair later end up falling into bed with one another - the interview very much forgotten, and at the back of viewers' minds too.

Let's just say, you have to see it for yourself, and it certainly gives Fifty Shades a run for its money.

Many flocked to social media after watching the scene to provide their thoughts.

One X - formerly known as Twitter - user said: "Actually incredible how Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm are two very beautiful people and yet their sex scene in tonight’s Morning Show is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

"Their post coital cuddle is Jon Hamm lying fully on his stomach with Jennifer Aniston lying completely on top of his back. Both fully naked."

While another argued: "Okay, I gotta say the sex scene with Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm in the latest The Morning Show episode on AppleTV was, pretty pretty pretty hot..."

Now, in a new interview with Variety alongside co-star Reese Witherspoon, Aniston has opened up about the steamy moment that very much shocked a lot of the internet.

"Having Mimi [Leder] there, you’re protected. I never felt uncomfortable," Aniston said,

"Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, 'You OK?' It was also very choreographed. That’s the beauty of Mimi and our gorgeous editor, the music and lighting. So, you don’t prepare."

She then added: “They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator. I’m from the olden days, so I was like, ‘What does that mean?'

"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."

Elsewhere in the interview, Aniston addressed her relationship with Witherspoon - something that has certainly become a hot topic of conversation in recent times.

"We’ve been in each other’s lives for 20-something years. It’s just in our DNA that we are collaborators," she said.

"We’re partners. We’re friends. We’re girlfriends, we share all sorts of heartbreaks in life and love and everything."
