“It is nerve-wracking. There is just no way around it. It is awkward. There is nothing sexy. But we had fun. We were really proud of ourselves at the end of that day that we made it through somewhat.”
Ben Stiller added,
“It’s just a weird experience. I think this scene in particular, it is a comedic scene, so it makes it easier. But I have been involved with scenes that aren’t like that, and it is a whole other sort of vibe going on.”
The Greenberg film star was further asked if he had a b-tt double in the movie, to which the actor replied,
“I wish I had. I wish I had.”
Jennifer Aniston’s statement may have embarrassed her co-star Ben Stiller, who also opened up about his ordeal in the interview and stated that those romantic sequences with the actress were uncomfortable to film.

Jennifer Aniston revealed that playing Polly Prince in her 2004 film Along Came Polly was a bit difficult, as while filming the movie, she was also working on the beloved television sitcom FRIENDS, in which she played Rachel Green. Aniston shared:
“Oddly enough, it was trying to create a character. There’s always that thought in the back of my mind: This can’t be Rachel. This can’t be Rachel! But this came easily. I based her on a girlfriend of mine, actually. So I pretty much-made fun of my girlfriend. She’s adorable – I just imitated her. She didn’t mind. She loved it.”
