The Morning Show turned up the heat in Season 3 with the introduction of Jon Hamm’s character, billionaire Paul Marks, who is meant to be Jennifer Aniston‘s love interest.
During a recent interview with Variety, Aniston noted that they didn’t use an intimacy coordinator when they filmed their sex scenes together, even if the scenes appeared “more explicit” this season, as the outlet noted.
Aniston said that she felt “protected” while working with director Mimi Leder present. “I never felt uncomfortable. Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, ‘You OK?’” she recalled. “It was also very choreographed. That’s the beauty of Mimi and our gorgeous editor, the music and lighting. So, you don’t prepare.”
She continued, “They asked us if we wanted an intimacy coordinator. 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.”
She and Hamm have known each other for “a long, long time” since actor Paul Rudd introduced them to each other about 12 years ago.

“That was fun. I’ve known the Hammanator for a long, long time,” she said.
Aniston also spoke on her character’s poor track record of romantic interests.
“It’s hard to be a really successful woman and make that part of your life — it’s sort of the last thing on your to-do list. You’re busy doing so many other things in the world, which is why I think I failed so terribly at marriage —,” she said, before her Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon interjected to clarify that Aniston was talking about her marriage “in the show.”
Aniston continued, “Everything I’ve gone through in my life, there’s not one thing I would do over, at all. It’s all our journey.”
The Morning Show has already been renewed for a fourth season, though a release date has not been announced yet.
