Jake
Gyllenhaal
recently
opened
up
about
working
with
Jennifer
Aniston
during
the
filming
of
the
2002
release
The
Good
Girl.
The
actor
also
revealed
that
having
a
crush
on
his
co-star
made
it
awkward
for
him
to
shoot
a
sex
scene
with
her.
During
his
appearance
on
Howard
Stern's
Sirius
XM
show,
Jake
recalls
working
with
Aniston
and
said,
"[Filming
the
sex
scenes]
was
torture,
yes
it
was.
But
it
was
also
not
torture.
I
mean,
come
on,
it
was
like
a
mix
of
both."
Recalling
the
process
being
oddly
mechanical
he
said,
"Weirdly,
love
scenes
are
awkward,
because
there
are
maybe
30,
50
people
watching
it?
That
doesn't
turn
me
on.
It's
oddly
mechanical.
And
also
it's
a
dance,
you're
choreographing
for
a
camera.
You
can
get
in
it,
but
it's
like
a
fight
scene,
you
have
to
choreograph
those
scenes.
"I
do
remember
a
pillow,"
Gyllenhaal
revealed
that
it
was
"was
actually
a
Jennifer
suggestion.
I
think
she
was
actually
very
kind
to
suggest
it
before
we
began...
She
was
like,
'I'm
putting
a
pillow
here.'
That
was
it,
that
was
all
she
said."
He
told
the
host,
"Yeah,
the
pillow
technique
was
used.
That
was
just
preemptive,
and
used
-
generally,
always
-
when
actually
in
a
horizontal
place
in
that
movie.
Everything
else
is
whatever
it
was.
I
remember
those
two
characters
did
a
lot
of
making
out
on
like,
boxes
in
the
back
room."
For
the
unversed,
The
Good
Girl
starred
Aniston
and
Gyllenhaal
as
two
disaffected
retail
workers
who
cross
paths
in
a
small
Texas
town.
It
was
back
in
2016
that
Jake
opened
up
about
his
crush
on
Aniston.
He
had
told
People,
"She's
a
rough
one,
you
know,
not
likable.
So
hard
to
compliment.
I
will
say,
I
had
a
crush
on
her
for
years.
And
working
with
her
was
not
easy
.
.
.
I
was
-
um,
yeah.
That's
all
I'm
going
to
say.
It
was
lovely.
It
wasn't
hard,
that's
what
I
would
say."
Jake
currently
is
busy
promoting
his
recent
Netflix
film
The
Guilty.
The
film
sees
him
playing
a
police
detective
demoted
to
911
operator
duty
as
he
awaits
the
outcome
of
a
shooting
incident
he
was
involved
in
months
earlier.
