It was “awkward,” the Hollywood actor said of filming personal sequences with the beauty for the 2002 comedy The Good Girl.
Shooting s*x sequences with Jennifer Aniston was “torture,” according to Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake made the following joke when appearing on The Howard Stern Show: “It was torture, yes it was, but it was also not torture. I mean, come on. It was like a mix of both.”
He confessed to the show’s host that his obsession on Friends’ actress Jennifer Aniston made filming awkward.
Then he continued: “Weirdly, love scenes are awkward because there are maybe 30, 50 people watching.”
“That doesn’t turn me on.”
“Most of the time, it’s oddly mechanical, right? And also it’s a dance, like, you choreograph it for a camera.
“It’s one of those like a fight scene, you gotta choreograph those things and I always have tried.”
Jake claims that Jennifer suggested they use a cushion so that they would be more at ease during the intimate encounters.
In the actor’s opinion: “That was just pre-emptive and used generally always when actually in a horizontal place in that movie.”
“I think that was actually a Jennifer suggestion, she was very kind to suggest it before we began.
“She was like, ‘I’m putting a pillow here,” she said.
The Donnie Darko star also addressed his future plans, including those for marriage and a family with fiancée Jeanne Cadieu.
Oscar-nominated actor/actress continues: “Now that I have fulfilled a lot of things in my career that I feel comfortable with, I can safely say that. I don’t know if I could have said that before.”
The couple began dating in 2018, and since then Jake has shown a desire to “be a good husband and a father.”
