Behind the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, actors have to endure the distress of embarrassing themselves.
They often find themselves the task of filming scenes inherently awkward or uncomfortable.
There is just a sense of balance between professionalism and personal boundaries when it comes to filming these scenes.
As long as there’s this understanding between actors filming them, there’s really nothing to worry about.
That’s exactly what happened to Jake Gyllenhaal while he was filming an intimate scene withJennifer Aniston.
To Gyllenhaal’s horror, this was the first time he met Pitt .
During Gyllenhaal’s interview withW Magazine, he recalls meeting Pitt.
He originated the [title] role and basically created the role."
He added, “I remember putting my hand out to shake his, and accidentally hitting the door.
He said, so confidently and kindly, ‘Well, you have another one.
It’s all right.’
He was very, very, very sweet to me, and it was actually a really lovely exchange.
But, yeah I was starstruck.”
As Hollywood’s sweetheart, several actors do wish to work with Aniston.
Gyllenhaal was lucky enough to be paired with her in the 2002 film “The Good Girl.”
Gyllenhaal detailswhy filming a love scene with Aniston was torture.
He answered, “It was torture, yes it was, but it was also not torture.
I mean, come on.
It was like a mix of both.”
That doesn’t turn me on, so most of the time it’s oddly mechanical.
And also it’s a dance, you’re choreographing for a camera."
Thankfully, Aniston had a trick to help them do the scene in a more comfortable manner.
Gyllenhaal added, “I do remember a pillow .
the pillow technique was used.
That was just preemptive and used generally always when actually in a horizontal place in that movie.”
I think she was actually very kind to suggest it before we begin."
