Jennifer Aniston has faced criticism after admitting that she declined the offer of an intimacy coordinator for her sex scene with Jon Hamm in The Morning Show. The scene, which appears in season three of the AppleTV+ series, features the two actors engaging in sexually explicit activity beneath the sheets. In a recent interview with Variety, Jennifer, aged 54, stated that she refused to work with an intimacy coordinator, citing her adherence to traditional methods of performing such scenes. Her comments have sparked an online backlash, with many people branding them as out-of-touch and indicative of outdated attitudes. Some social media users have expressed disappointment at what they see as Jennifer’s failure to embrace more contemporary approaches to on-screen intimacy.
Jennifer Aniston faced criticism after expressing her reluctance to have an intimacy coordinator present during her on-screen sex scene with Jon Hamm in The Morning Show.
In a particular episode of season three of the AppleTV+ series, the performers were spotted engaging in some steamy activities while tucked beneath the bed covers.
Jennifer shared that they were offered the option of working with an intimacy coordinator for the scene, but she declined, stating that she prefers the traditional approach.
Some Twitter users criticized Jennifer Aniston’s recent comments about intimacy coordinators, claiming that she comes across as resistant to progress and out of touch. They suggested that her interviews are cringe-inducing and reminiscent of an old man yelling at the sky. However, some defended her right to choose not to work with an intimacy coordinator during intimate scenes. They argued that Jennifer was simply expressing her own experience and preferences. They also pointed out that not everything new is necessarily good and that people should be allowed to stick to their own methods and traditions. In her interview, Jennifer expressed uncertainty about what an intimacy coordinator does, but ultimately decided that she and her fellow actors could handle the scene themselves.
Social media users quickly expressed their displeasure with her comments, finding them ‘cringe-worthy’. Jennifer Aniston stars as news anchor Alex Levy in the show, while Jon plays tech mogul Paul Marks. One of the episodes in the show’s third season, titled “The Stanford Student,” features an intense interview between Alex and Paul at his lavish Hamptons house. The confrontation between the two characters led to a passionate encounter, during which they both appeared completely naked. Jennifer looked stunning in this scene, just like she did in her previous nude scene in The Break-Up in 2006. In a recent interview, the Friends star openly talked about how she maintains her impressive physique.
Some people came to Jennifer’s defense regarding her comments on working with an intimacy coordinator, stating that it is her prerogative to make that decision. In an interview with CR Fashion Book (Issue 23), she discussed her top four rules for staying fit and healthy in her 50s. These include drinking plenty of water, engaging in daily physical activity, consuming fresh and whole foods, and getting adequate sleep, which can be difficult for her at times. She emphasized the importance of being mindful about what one allows into their headspace, particularly during challenging times when it may be necessary to tune out the noise of the world.
Jennifer’s steamy scene with the Mad Men actor caused quite a stir as she was completely bare while rolling around.
Aniston recently revealed to her co-star Reese Witherspoon in Variety magazine that she was questioned about her well-being while locking lips with a famous male actor.
During the production, the crew asked us if we were interested in having an intimacy coordinator. As someone from a different era, I had no idea what it was all about and asked for clarification.
She started by sharing how someone once asked her if she was okay and it made her feel uncomfortable. She added that the situation was already awkward for her and she didn’t appreciate the question.
Jennifer confidently stated that they are experienced and capable enough to solve the current situation.
In a recent interview, Jennifer discussed her love for Pvolve as part of her fitness routine. She praised the unique approach to working out, which leaves her feeling energized and strong without feeling beat up. Jennifer encourages others to try it out for themselves, regardless of their fitness level. The Morning Show, in which she stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and Billy Crudup, has already been renewed for a fourth season. Jennifer teased that the upcoming third season will be a juicy one, with all characters walking the line and keeping secrets. The season’s synopsis suggests that the future of the network is uncertain, with loyalties being tested when a tech titan takes an interest in UBA.
During their interview with Variety, Jennifer and Reese were questioned about whether The Morning Show can be considered as camp. In response to the question, Reese admitted that she was not sure about the perspective on that matter and believed that they were not the right people to answer such a question. However, she did express her love for the popular show Dynasty, which features powerful women engaging in verbal battles while dressed in stylish outfits. On the other hand, Jennifer preferred a different type of show, specifically Below Deck: Down Under, which she claimed was all she could handle at times. The Morning Show explores unexpected alliances, the weaponization of private truths, and the challenge of confronting one’s core values, both in and out of the newsroom.
