Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal says it was "torture" filming `The Good Girl` with Jennifer Aniston because of his real life crush on her. Speaking during an interview with `The Howard Stern Show`, Gyllenhaal was asked by the host if it was "torture" to film love scenes with somebody he fancied in real life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Gyllenhaal said: "Oh yeah, it was torture, yes it was. But it was also not torture. I mean, come on, it was like a mix of both." He said that such is the "mechanical nature" of love scenes he thankfully managed to keep his true feelings towards Aniston well-hidden. He added: "Weirdly, love scenes are awkward, because there are maybe 30, 50 people watching it? That doesn`t turn me on. It`s oddly mechanical.
