Jennifer Aniston revealed getting hurt during an intimate scene with Clive Owen for her film Derailed. Aniston told a TV show at the time that she had suffered some good bruises on her legs. However, the FRIENDS star shared that she didn’t even feel it due to the adrenaline rush during the scene. According to Daily Star, the Marley & Me actress stated:

“I got some good bruises on my legs. It wasn’t pretty. But your adrenaline is running, so you don’t even feel it!”

While it wasn’t pretty for Aniston, Owen felt that they were comfortable. He revealed that there were a lot of things going on between the two characters in those scenes rather than two people just having s*x. It made the scene more comfortable for the two actors. Clive Owen shared with Daily Mail:

“There’s a lot going on in those scenes which makes it a lot easier to play then if it’s just two people having sex. There’s all sorts of things going on between them, and so it made filming those scenes as comfortable as it could be.”

The Closer actor also showered praise on his co-star and shared that Aniston excelled in any role, be it a straight part or comedy. Aniston was going through a struggling phase in her personal life, as her marriage with Brad Pitt was falling apart. Owen shared about The Break-Up actress, “She’s lovely, incredibly level-headed considering the spotlight that is on her.”

The film’s director, Mikael Håfström also mentioned that Aniston was very professional and didn’t bring her emotional turmoil to the set. The crew of the film created a private zone for her where she could feel safe.

“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! We’re seasoned – we can figure this one out.’”
