He continued: "Weirdly, love scenes are awkward because there are maybe 30, 50 people watching.“That doesn't turn me on."Jake went on: "Most of the time, it's oddly mechanical, right?“And also it's a dance, like, you choreograph it for a camera."It's one of those like a fight scene, you gotta choreograph those things and I always have tried."Jake also revealed that Jennifer suggested they use a pillow to make the sex scenes less awkward to film.He said: "That was just pre-emptive and used generally always when actually in a horizontal place in that movie."I think that was actually a Jennifer suggestion, she was very kind to suggest it before we began.”He recounted: "She was like, 'I'm putting a pillow here'."Earlier this year, Jennifer spoke candidly about her career following the breakdown of her marriages, as she sarcastically addressed the comments she’d heard over the years.

She said: “I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child.“And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. “It was absolute lies.

I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”The star also opened up about how “hard” it was to endure “years and years and years of speculation” over whether or not she was pregnant.

She said: “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ “You just don’t think it.So here I am today.The ship has sailed,” she reflected during a recent interview with Allure.com..
