One of the best things to come out of #MeToo and the larger movement for accountability within Hollywood is that nowadays, there\u2019s an intimacy coordinator on every set where there are sex scenes or nudity. It\u2019s no longer just a scantily-clad woman surrounded by an all-male crew, trying to navigate the situation by herself. In recent years, so many actors (male and female) have praised the use of intimacy coordinators and talked about how much safer it feels for everyone, to have someone acting as a neutral third party, helping actors talk about what they will and won\u2019t do on screen and helping to choreograph what happens on-screen. Well, Jennifer Aniston is not one of those actors praising the use of intimacy coordinators. Aniston had a chance to film sex scenes with Jon Hamm in The Morning Show<\/em> and she was like \u201cI can do this myself!\u201d <\/p>\n Variety: Alex and Paul\u2019s love scene was more explicit than we\u2019re used to seeing on the show. How did you guys prepare for that with director Mimi Leder?<\/strong><\/p>\n Aniston:<\/strong> Having Mimi there, you\u2019re protected. I never felt uncomfortable. Jon was such a gentleman, always \u2014 I mean every move, every cut, \u201cYou OK?\u201d It was also very choreographed. That\u2019s the beauty of Mimi and our gorgeous editor, the music and lighting. So, you don\u2019t prepare. They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator. I\u2019m from the olden days, so I was like, \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d They said, \u201cWhere someone asks you if you\u2019re OK,\u201d and I\u2019m like, \u201cPlease, this is awkward enough!\u201d We\u2019re seasoned \u2014 we can figure this one out. And we had Mimi there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Variety] <\/p>\n The intimacy coordinator should have been there, I don\u2019t care if Aniston is \u201cfrom the olden days.\u201d Harvey Weinstein was from the olden days too. Yes, it\u2019s probably a lot different when you\u2019re working with a female director and you\u2019ve known your costar for many years (as Aniston has known Hamm for decades). But still: it should be a given, at this point, that any f–king time any actor takes off their clothes or has to do a love scene, there\u2019s a coordinator on set. Aniston is so antiquated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Backgrid.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
