Jake Gyllenhaal has confessed that he felt ‘awkward’ while filming intimate love scenes with Jennifer Aniston.

The Guilty actor, 42, starred alongside the Friends alum, 53, in the 2002 comedy The Good Girl and described the entire experience as ‘torture.’

Jake joked during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, "It was torture, yes it was, but it was also not torture. I mean, come on. It was like a mix of both.

The Brokeback Mountain star admitted that he had a huge crush on Jennifer, which made it difficult to film love scenes with her.

Explaining his embarrassment, Jake said, "Weirdly, love scenes are awkward because there are maybe 30, 50 people watching,” adding, "That doesn't turn me on."

Jake also recalled that Jennifer had suggested they use a pillow to help them feel more comfortable during the bedroom scenes.
