In her hit series 'The Morning Show', she and fellow actor Jon Hamm appear in a few steamy scenes together with Jennifer appearing completely naked at one point.
In the latest issue of Variety, the Friends star was paired up with Reese Witherspoon and opened up about what it was like filming those scenes.
Speaking about how things play out Jennifer said: "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," Jennifer joked.
The 54-year-old also credited the episode's director Mimi Leder and Jon for making her feel "protected" on set, sharing that she "never felt uncomfortable" filming their intimate scene.
"Jon was such a gentleman, always—I mean every move, every cut, 'You OK?'" she said. "It was also very choreographed."
Jennifer stars in the show as news anchor Alex Levy, while Jon plays Paul Marks, a tech billionaire. During an episode which aired in October, Alex was interviewing Paul at his Hamptons mansion.
The tense and hard-hitting interview caused sparks to fly between the two and after it was over they ended up in bed together.
Jennifer said that it helped that she and Jon had been friends for a long time before he signed up to play her love interest on 'The Morning Show'.
The pair were introduced by mutual friend Paul Rudd, who made guest appearances on Friends as well as costarred with the actress in the 1998 movie 'The Object of My Affection' and 2012's 'Wanderlust'.
It seems that Paul likes to help people make new connections as Reese said he introduced her to Jon as well.
