Jennifer Aniston’s super steamy ‘The Morning Show’ scene sets internet on fire

Defying the aging tropes, Jennifer Aniston bared it all in the latest episode of the AppleTv+ The Morning Show—to the surprise of many. 

The director, Mimi Leder, breaks down the artful yet unexpected intimate scene.

Explaining to Variety about the steamy scene that involves billionaire Paul Marks (John Hamm) and Alex Levy instantly getting under the sheets after a terse encounter, the filmmaker said, “This is a mutual, genuine affection. And that’s why we chose not to do the rip-your-clothes-off sex scene,” she continued.

“It was looking into each other’s eyes, finding the tender centre of the scene. That first, deep emotional connection. Two people caught up in just caught up in each other, taken away by the moment,” the director added.

Meanwhile, the executive producer Kristin Hahn shared with The Hollywood Reporter that the duo wanted to work together for quite some time: “Jen and Jon have been friendly for years and have wanted to work together, I think for a while.”

She continued,“So when Paul Marks became a part of the conversation, it was a list of one,” adding, “And so it was a little scary because if he had said no, I don’t know what we would have done. It was this or bust. Thankfully, he said yes.”

Jennifer-starrer The Morning Show season 3 is dropping weekly episodes on Wednesday on Apple TV+.
