Jennifer Aniston has received backlash for saying she did not want an intimacy coordinator for her sex scene with Jon Hamm on The Morning Show.
The actors are seen getting very frisky beneath the sheets in one episode of season three of the AppleTV+ series.
In an interview with Variety, Jennifer, 54, revealed she and Jon, 52, were asked if they wanted to work with an intimacy coordinator for the scene but she turned down the suggestion, saying she is 'from the old school'.
However, her remarks quickly drew ire on social media as many felt they were 'cringe' and an example of 'living in the past'.
Taking to X/Twitter, people wrote: 'Probably one of the celebs with the most public good will and she's just ruining it… I think she really lives in the past like it's bad, she's always going on about how things used to be…'

Jennifer revealed she and Jon were asked if they wanted to work with an intimacy coordinator for the scene but she turned down the suggestion, saying she is 'from the old school'
'Reese [Witherspoon] would say women's stories matter but everytime it's a Jennifer Aniston story…full cringe…. Why are all of her interviews so 'old man yells at the sky?''
'…Progress? No thanks. I'm old school. How about they stop asking and just make intimacy coordinators a standard practice for products that include sex scenes.'
However, others defended Jennifer's comments and said she is perfectly entitled to not want to work with an intimacy coordinator, something which has only become common practice in the film and TV industry in recent years.
Some users wrote: 'There's no problem with this I think. She's confident enough, I hope he [Jon] had the same opinion too.'
'People seem to be offended because the actress involved in a very intimate sex scene preferred not to have one or more strangers in the room. That's all she's saying, about HER experience. Sometimes I forget this is Twitter and everything an be a very sensitive topic.'
'She said shooting a sex scene is awkward enough can you let her be, God! And what's wrog with living in the past? People are so looking forward to the future they don't realise not everything new is good.'
In her interview, 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!'' she began.
'We're seasoned — we can figure this one out,' she told the Oscar-winning actress.

Speaking in the Issue 23 of CR Fashion Book, she said: 'I drink a lot of water, move my body daily, try to eat whole, fresh foods, and get as much sleep as I can.
'That last part is challenging for me, but it's so important. I feel it when I don't get enough rest. In addition to all of that, I try to be really mindful about what I let into my headspace.
'Our world is really going through some challenges, and I know we all care a lot, but sometimes I think it's imperative that we turn off the noise.'

'I encourage people to try it and see it for themselves. Whatever your fitness level, it's a workout where you can truly start where you are.'
She added: 'I've been motivated to work out in a way I haven't been in years. I look forward to the challenging classes and I feel stronger and more comfortable in my body when I'm doing it. It's different every time, I don't think I've had the same class twice.'
