<p><strong>Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal</strong> have formed a special friendship in the past decades. The duo always had that natural chemistry and looked like this well-suited couple whenever they stepped on screen together. It is quite astounding considering both of them have never dated each other. And this question might have crossed their fans&#8217; minds about how they managed to showcase that chemistry when they had no entanglements. Well, the <strong>American actor once spilled beans about his intimate scenes with his costar and friend.</strong></p>
<p>Back in 2021, Jake Gyllenhaal did a virtual interview with the host of <em>The Howard Stern Show</em>. During the interview, the actor also talked about shooting love scenes with Aniston in <em>The Good Girl</em>. He revealed it was difficult for him to film it since he already had a crush on the actress. The <strong>42-year-old first saw the Emmy winner on the 90s sitcom <em>Friends</em> and was left fascinated by her charms.</strong></p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Jake Gyllenhaal on Filming Love Scenes With Jennifer Aniston" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2A_eRglvKvk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>He continued these intimate scenes are nothing like what people get to watch because the people in the room make the experience far less personal. <em>&#8220;Most of the time, it&#8217;s oddly mechanical, right? And also, it&#8217;s a dance, like, you choreograph it for a camera,&#8221;</em> stated the 42-year-old. So for him, these scenes are just like one of these fight scenes where he tries his best to present something powerful.</p>

<p>Not to mention, <strong>Gyllenhaal&#8217;s Emmy-winning costar also made things look graceful</strong> when they played two lovers in the comedy-drama. The actress brought this perfect technique that added a little separation and discretion between them.</p>
<h2><strong>Jennifer Aniston introduced the pillow technique to make things less awkward</strong></h2>
<p>While talking to Howard Stern, <strong>Jake Gyllenhaal also recalled how Jennifer Aniston came up with an amazing idea</strong> to buffer love scenes. He praised the <em>Murder Mystery</em> star for putting a pillow between them before they started shooting the scenes. The 54-year-old knew that both of them might feel uncomfortable. So she introduced the &#8220;pillow technique&#8221; to ensure nothing disturbed them while they played their parts.</p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Good Girl - Trailer" width="1170" height="878" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/55u2eXwbkM4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Well, this was certainly not the first time Aniston dealt with a crush that might have affected her work life. She and her costar David Schwimmer had a crush on each other in the initial days of <em>Friends</em>. So <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-jennifer-aniston-once-spilled-the-truth-behind-the-iconic-chemistry-rachel-green-and-ross-geller-had-on-friends/">the duo channeled those feelings into the roles</a> instead of taking them forward in their personal lives.</p>
