Jennifer Aniston has a decade-spanning filmography full of cult classics and blockbuster smash-hits including the likes of Marley & Me, Bruce Almighty and Murder Mystery.

Not only does the Hollywood A-lister have an impressive repertoire of movies in her arsenal but she's also done her fair share of TV work after first rising to fame as Rachel Green on Friends.

Since then, Jennifer has starred as Alex Levy alongside Reece Witherspoon in The Morning Show.

The 54-year-old has since opened up about filming her 'awkward' sex scene with Jon Hamm the third season of the Apple TV series. Check it out:

Incase you haven't seen it, the scene in question sees the likes of Jen's character getting it on with billionaire Paul Marks (Hamm) which sparked a short-lived romance between the pair.

Speaking about the scene in a recent interview with Variety, Jennifer revealed that her Mad Men co-star couldn't have been nicer and was the perfect 'gentleman' during the whole thing.

She also sung director Mimi Leder's praises for her help working through it as a trio.

When asked how she prepared for the situation, the We're the Millers actor explained: "Having Mimi there, you’re protected. I never felt uncomfortable.

"Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, 'You OK?'"

Jennifer also noted that the sequence was 'very choreographed', adding: "That’s the beauty of Mimi and our gorgeous editor, the music and lighting. So, you don’t prepare."

Jennifer revealed why she didn't want an intimacy coordinator in her sex scene with Jon Hamm.

The scene seemed to go so seamless that the actors didn't even need an intimacy coordinator.

"They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator," Jennifer continued. "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. And we had Mimi there."

Elsewhere in the interview, Jennifer also spoke about her relationship with her Legally Blonde co-star, who also once had a cameo appearance as her younger sister, Jill Green, on an episode of Friends back in the day.

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

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

The Morning Show is currently available to watch on Apple TV.
