Jennifer Aniston had a bit of a wake-up call when she filmed her Morning Show sex scene.

"They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator. I'm from the olden days, so I was like, 'What does that mean?'" Aniston recalled in a jointVariety interview with castmate Reese Witherspoon published on Dec. 11. "They said, 'Where someone asks you if you're OK,' and I'm like, 'Please, this is awkward enough!'"
The actress, who broke into Hollywood during the early '90s, jokingly continued, "We're seasoned—we can figure this one out."
Aniston, 54, also credited the episode's directorMimi Leder and Hamm for making her feel "protected" on set, sharing that she "never felt uncomfortable" filming their intimate scene.
"Jon was such a gentleman, always—I mean every move, every cut, 'You OK?'" she said. "It was also very choreographed."
It also helped that Aniston and Hamm were already longtime friends prior to him joining the cast as her character Alex's new love interest. As the Cake star explained, "I've known the Hammanator for a long, long time."
In fact, the pair were introduced by mutual friend Paul Rudd , who made guest appearances on Friends as well as costarred with Aniston in the 1998 movie The Object of My Affection and 2012'sWanderlust.
But she isn't the only one who met the Mad Men actor through Rudd. As it turns out, that's also how Witherspoon became friends with Hamm.
"Paul Rudd is his agent," the Big Little Lies star quipped during the interview. "I did a movie with Paul Rudd in 1996, and that's when I met Jon Hamm."
