Jennifer Aniston felt "uncomfortable" filming scenes for 'Horrible Bosses 2'.
The 45-year-old actress has admitted to feeling a little uncomfortable as she filmed some sexually provocative scenes with some extras for the sequel to 'Horrible Bosses'.
When Jennifer's co-star Jason Sudeikis reminded her of a particular scene where her character Doctor Julia Harris watches some sexy security footage with two other girls, Jennifer said: "That was one of the most uncomfortable days, I have to say. We were just talking about it like it was the funniest TV show you've ever seen."
She also revealed that some hilarious scenes featuring Charlie Day were omitted from the final cut. The 'Friends' actress said: "Charlie and I also had a wonderful surveillance camera moment that ended up not being in the movie. I had to do it on top of him in a coma, and he broke, half-way through the take, when I grabbed him."
Speaking of her character Julia's sex addiction, Jennifer told the website Collider: "I find it extremely entertaining, the way she speaks, because I don't really think that she thinks that she's saying anything inappropriate."
Despite being known for her comedic roles, Jennifer has starred in several serious films, including the up-coming drama 'Cake' - which is due out in 2015 - and she noted that she enjoys exploring both genres.
She said: "I love doing both.
"There's comedy in drama. There's drama in comedy. I don't find the two exclusive of one another."

Reese Witherspoon didn't want to shoot the emotionally raw sex scenes in her new film 'Wild'.
The 38-year-old actress portrays Cheryl Strayed in the movie adaptation of her memoir, 'Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail', and she admits it was tough recreating the drug-fuelled lovemaking detailed in the book - which is about Cheryl's 1,100-mile hike of self-discovery along the Pacific Crest Trail.
Reese said: "I remember thinking, 'I just don't want to do it.' But I had to make a choice as an artist. And Cheryl was brave enough to tell all the parts of her story in her book - the parts that probably made her feel incredibly uncomfortable and would be hard to tell her children and would be difficult to relive. I couldn't honour and do justice to her story by just picking the parts that I was comfortable with."
The Oscar winner secured the film rights to the memoir in 2012 and was totally committed to bringing Cheryl's story to the big screen, describing the tome as "one of the most important books I've ever read in my life".
Cheryl decided to go backpacking at the age of 26 to re-evaluate her life after a succession of devastating events which began with the death of her mother died when she was 22, her becoming estranged from her stepfather, developing a strained relationship with her siblings, taking heroin and getting divorced from her husband.
During filming on location in Oregon and California, Reese admits she phoned her husband Jim Toth in tears, fearing she had taken on too big a task.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she recalled: "I call my husband crying. I said, 'I ain't taking this. It's so cold.' I mean, it's really just freezing cold and windy. He said, 'When you optioned this book and decided to make a movie called 'Wild', what did you think it was going to be like?' I was like, 'F**k you!'
Referring to the emotional challenges of Cheryl's story, she added: "Like one day on set I was getting divorced, and the next day my mother died. And the next day I was having sex with a stranger and shooting heroin."

Robert Downey Jr's father is more proud of him for beating his drug addiction rather than his acting success.
Robert Downey Sr's achievements are to be celebrated by his 'Iron Man' star son and 'Inherent Vice' director Paul Thomas Anderson at a fundraiser this weekend but he's revealed his proudest moment was seeing his son overcome his addictions.
He told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix column his ultimate career "highlight" was "when my son turned his life around [from drug problems], that's my highlight moment".
The 'Hugo Pool' filmmaker is being honoured at the Friends of Cinefamily weekend fundraiser and retrospective in Los Angeles that will include a Q&A session with his son, which he admits will likely be "embarrassing" because they joke around so much.
Downey Sr. recalled: "Right after 'Iron Man', he was voted on of the Time Magazine 100. He called me up and asked me to get in a tuxedo. So I rented a tuxedo, [but] he didn't like the way I had the tuxedo."
Explaining how he got his own back on his son after he thanked him for being "his mentor" on stage, he continued: "'What do you have to say dad?' - I said, 'I'm not your father.' "
And Downey Sr. also confessed he's looking forward to seeing his new granddaughter, Avri Roel Downey - whom Downey Jr. and wife Susan welcomed into the world earlier this month.
He added: "The most exciting part of going to LA (is) I get to see my two-week-old granddaughter."

James Corden thought Meryl Streep was going to "die" when they filmed 'Into the Woods'.
The 36-year-old actor admits he couldn't help but worry about his own future when his veteran co-star caught her shoe on her dress as she jumped on a table during a rehearsal.
He recalled: "[She] starts to fall back, head first. Time slowed down and I thought, 'I'm about to watch Meryl Streep die. It's happening.'
"I wish I could say I didn't consider my own career in this and think, 'This film's gonna go down the ****.'"
While James and director Rob Marshall "froze", Emily Blunt - who was pregnant with her daughter Hazel, now 10 months - leapt in to save her co-star.
James added: "Rob Marshall freezes . . . The person who stepped in to save her life that day was not the two men in the room, but the pregnant woman leaps forward, catches Meryl Streep, and Rob and I were just like [gasp]."
The British star also admitted he was initially in awe of being around the 65-year-old acting legend.
Speaking during a special screening of the movie for Yahoo! Movies, he said: "All of a sudden, you're in a room talking to Meryl Streep, like this is just something that you do."

Dan Aykroyd is very selective with the roles he accepts now.
The 62-year-old star has become more picky when deciding what movies he acts in because he wants to spend more time with his wife, Donna Dixon, and three daughters Danielle, Stella and Belle.
He said: "I am much more picky about the movies I do. In the 80s and 90s I was away from my family a lot, so I am trying to make up for that by spending time with them now."
Aykroyd is famed for writing and appearing in 'Ghostbusters' and 'Ghostbusters II', and was believed to be working on the reboot of the franchise featuring female protagonists, but said he doesn't write any more because of his wish to withdraw from life as a celebrity.
He added: "As I've grown older I've become less focused on showbusiness. I am no longer writing and pitching scripts."
However, 'The Blues Brothers' writer said he is a huge fan of Melissa McCarthy - who has been attached to the 'Ghostbusters' sequel on numerous occasions due to her close working relationship with the film's director, Paul Feig - which suggests the actress may indeed star in the movie.
He explained: "Comedians today are more thoughtful than we were, and more grounded in real life.
"But I love the younger guys - Jonah Hill, Will Ferrell, Melissa McCarthy. The torch has been passed."

Brenton Thwaites will star in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'.
The star will play the role of British soldier Henry, beating fellow actors such as Ansel Elgort of 'The Fault In Our Stars' and George MacKay from 'Pride', who are also said to have auditioned for the part.
The 25-year-old actor previously appeared in Australian soap 'Home & Away', but made his break into Hollywood blockbusters with the dark fantasy 'Maleficent' in which he starred as Prince Phillip.
Brenton will join Johnny Depp - who will once again reprise his swashbuckling character Captain Jack Sparrow for the fifth movie - and will be directed by duo Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg who worked together on 2012 adventure 'Kon-Tiki'.
The young actor will be hitting screens sooner than the July 2017 release date when he appears alongside Ewan McGregor in 'Son of a Gun' and in thriller 'The Signal', both due next year.
Meanwhile, Javier Bardem and Christopher Waltz are said to be in talks with the 'Pirates' producers to appear in the film - which has received scripting support from Jeff Nathanson - with the filmmakers also keen to bring back stars from the first film, 2003's 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'.
However, Keira Knightley who featured in the movie as Elizabeth Swann has ruled out a return to the franchise.
She told Digital Spy: "No, I don't think so.
"It was an amazing point in my life, but it was a good five-year chunk. It was incredible, but I can't really imagine going back to it."

Josh Hutcherson wants to "move on" from young adult films like 'The Hunger Games'.
The 22-year-old actor - who has starred in four films based on the dystopian 'Hunger Games' novels since 2011 - plans to explore other movie genres since filming has wrapped on the final installment of the franchise, which also stars Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth.
When asked if he'd had enough of films marketed towards teenagers, Josh said: "I think I've done my fair share of that. It's been great, but it's time to move on."
The blonde actor -who has just finished filming for the drug themed 'Escobar: Paradise Lost', which is due to be released in cinemas from January 2015 - admitted that the Andrea Di Stefano directed film had subconsciously pushed him in another direction.
He told Empire magazine: "It wasn't like I was looking for anything specific to break away from Hunger Games, it just kind of happened. This film came along at the right time. I'm getting older so the roles are starting to skew older. It was never a conscious decision - time to play older! I did want to do something heavier, something more intense and when I read the script, this was it."
Josh - who has already executive produced two films - revealed that he isn't worried about his acting roles drying up because he would love to do more directing and producing.
He said: "I'm being patient, just reading a lot of scripts. I'm meeting with directors and producers, trying to build a foundation for my own directing and producing in the future."
