THE LOVE SCENES BETWEEN JENNIFER ANISTON AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL WERE "TORTURE" FOR THE ACTOR
The American interpreter recounts how the most lovr scenes were in 'The Good Girl' with the famous Rachel from Friends
Jake Gyllenhaal, unforgettable co-star of Brokeback Mountain and now in the Marvel franchise with Spiderman, has just confessed how complicated it was to shoot love scenes with Jennifer Aniston. So much so, that he has described that experience as "torture".
Three years before embarking on the aforementioned film in which he shared the lead role with Heath Ledger, he was the lover of the Friends actress in the romantic comedy The Good Girl. It was 2002 and there was something that prevented him from developing his work in the best possible way, especially in the most love moments of the film.
He thus he has confessed in a recent interview on the radio program The Howard Stern Show on the Sirius XM station. The shooting days for Jake were really complicated for a reason that went beyond the mere fact of acting: he was in love with his partner.
"Oh yeah, it was torture, yes it was," he laughed to Howard Stern. “But on the other hand it wasn't, of course. That is to say, it was a mixture of sensations”. This is how the artist described those moments with which he was his crush for a while.
“Interestingly, the love scenes are an awkward thing, because there were 30, 50 people? around looking. That doesn't add much. It's quite a mechanical thing. And it's also like a dance, you're following a choreography for the camera. You can go deep into it, but it's like a fight scene, you have to learn it, "acknowledged the actor.
The pillow trick in bed scenes
In addition, he also talked about the pillow trick, which is very popular in bed scenes: “I remember a pillow, yes, we used it. It was a preventative thing and is always used when holding a horizontal position on film. Everything else was authentic."
In fact, it was Aniston herself who had the idea: “I think it was very kind of her to suggest it before we started. It was like: 'Let's put a pillow over here...'. It was just that," the 2005 Oscar nominee said.
