“Having [director Mimi Leder] there, you’re protected. I never felt uncomfortable,” Jennifer told Variety. “Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, ‘You OK?’ 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 added, “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.”

The interviewer noted hat the love scene “was more explicit than we’re used to seeing on the show.”

Co-star and executive producer Reese Witherspoon responded, “I didn’t think it was explicit.”

In the same interview, Jennifer also talked about her late friend Matthew Perry.
