Jennifer Aniston experienced quite a dramatic day on set. The 55-year-old actress was spotted in Manhattan on Sunday, July 28, filming a scene for Season 4 of her Apple TV+ hit, The Morning Show. In the scene, her character, Alex, gets drenched in fake oil during a chaotic protest.
Photos captured Aniston visibly upset as the sticky, tar-like substance covered her white shirt and slacks. The scene depicted her character being targeted by protesters, with background actors playing police officers rushing to control the riot.
Despite the intensity of the moment, Aniston kept things light-hearted behind the scenes. After the director called “cut,” she was seen joking around with the cast and crew, pointing a finger and raising her brows in a playful, mock-warning gesture, as per reports to The Daily Guardian.
For the scene, Aniston sported a business-chic look, wearing a white sleeveless button-down blouse tucked into khaki-colored, flared dress pants. The juxtaposition of her professional attire with the messy oil added to the scene’s dramatic effect.
The Morning Show recently received multiple Emmy nominations, including “Outstanding Drama Series” and “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series” for both Aniston and her co-star Reese Witherspoon, 48. These accolades highlight the show’s critical acclaim and the compelling performances of its lead actors.
The series dives into the behind-the-scenes world of a fictional morning news program, following rival anchors Alex and Bradley (Witherspoon) as they navigate timely topics like the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The show has been praised for its insightful commentary on current events and the complexities of the media industry.
Aniston’s dedication to her role is evident in her willingness to endure uncomfortable scenes like the one filmed on Sunday. Her ability to balance intense dramatic moments with off-screen camaraderie showcases her professionalism and versatility as an actress.
As Season 4 of The Morning Show continues production, fans eagerly anticipate more twists and turns in the storyline, bolstered by the dynamic performances of Aniston and the ensemble cast. With its blend of drama, timely issues, and strong character development, the upcoming season promises to deliver another compelling chapter in the lives of Alex and Bradley.
