19 years ago Jake Gyllenhaal and Jennifer Aniston made a film together. Now the Hollywood star is chatting that he experienced the sex scenes with her as “torture”.
Jake Gyllenhaal, 40, and Jennifer Aniston, 52, played two supermarket coworkers who started an affair in the quirky and weird indiependent drama “Good Girl”. That was 19 years ago. But the US actor still sometimes has to think of the sex scenes with the “Friends” series star.
Jake Gyllenhaal describes spicy scenes with Jennifer Aniston as “torture”
In the current issue of the American radio show “The Howard Stern Show”, Jake Gyllenhaal remembers, still laughing in embarrassment, spicy scenes with Jennifer – who was married to Brad Pitt, 57, at the time. She played a married woman who was dissatisfied and bored with her life. He lived with his parents in the film and started to work in a supermarket, where he met Jennifer’s role. They started a wild affair that ended miserably.
The intimate torques were particularly difficult for Jake, he admits on the radio show. The reason: Gyllenhaal had a crush on Jennifer Aniston at the time. This is also evidenced by a joint interview between the two of them at the time with “The Insider” in 2002, which is still available on the video platform “YouTube”. In it he languishes at his beloved several times and blushed when asked about intimate scenes with her.
Jennifer Aniston helped him with his nervousness
In retrospect, Jake found the sex scenes “torture”. “Somehow it wasn’t torture either. I mean, it was like a mixture of both,” he rowed back in the current interview. It was also nice to shoot with his former crush. But this nervousness! But Aniston, the professional she is, had a trick ready to relax the situation a little during the sex scenes. She just placed a pillow between both bodies.
“Jennifer was very nice and suggested it before we started. That was just a precaution and was generally used whenever you were in a horizontal position in the film,” explains Gyllenhaal, recalling another turn off: the Set employees.

“Strangely enough, it’s always the love scenes that are funny because around 30 to 50 people are watching. That doesn’t exactly turn me on. Everything is more of a choreography and rehearsed. It’s like a dance.”
Now, 19 years later, Jake is happily dating the model Jeanne Cadieu, 25. Jennifer Aniston is currently single.
