Jennifer Aniston reveals ‘Morning Show’ set aftermath from getting doused in fake oil: ‘I love New York’
Jennifer Aniston is embracing the mess.
The actress, 55, posted an Instagram on Sunday with behind-the-scenes photos of her doused in fake oil from filming her hit Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show.”
Aniston had the sticky liquid thrown at her while playing her character, Alex Levy, in New York City last weekend.
In the first photo, Aniston posed on a chair with the fake oil all over her white shirt and beige pants.
The Emmy Award winner kicked one of her feet in the air as she smiled at the camera.
In two more pictures, Aniston was covered in the oil while laughing at something on her phone with some of the show’s crew, including director and executive producer Mimi Leder.
Another behind-the-scenes photo showed Aniston, now in a long black dress, talking to Leder, 72, while shooting a scene where her character bursts into tears on a phone call.
The “Friends” alum also took a video of two people, seemingly a mother and her son, standing next to a window holding a sign that read, “We love The Morning Show.”
Aniston captioned her post, “I
NY.”
The moment where Aniston got doused in fake oil was captured by cameras in Manhattan on July 28.
In the scene, Aniston’s character was surrounded by protesters who flung the oil at her, ruining her outfit.
The following day, Aniston was pictured crying on the phone at the New York Public Library as part of the show.
Now onto the filming of Season 4, “The Morning Show” follows rival news anchors Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) through the cutthroat and chaotic world of morning TV.
Both Aniston and Witherspoon, 48, earned nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the upcoming Emmy Awards, which take place Sept. 15.
Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman and Holland Taylor also scored Emmy nominations for their supporting roles in the series.
“The Morning Show” Season 4 started filming in July.
William Jackson Harper, Jeremy Irons and Marion Cotillard have been announced as new cast members.
Back in April, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt teased the current news story that the show will cover in its upcoming season.
“We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,” she said at Deadline’s Contenders TV event. “So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like?”
Stoudt continued: “We get into the world of DeepFakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we’re seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. We’re looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you’re seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?”
Apple has not yet announced a premiere date for Season 4 of “The Morning Show.”
