Jennifer Lopez recalls embarassing s-x with with Ryan Guzman
Jennifer Lopez has had her fair share of steamy movie scenes, but according to the singer and actress her s** scene with co-star Ryan Guzman in the 2015 thriller The Boy Next Door was one of the most uncomfortable and embarrassing she’s ever done.
Lopez’s character, Claire Peterson, is a divorced woman who begins an affair with Guzman’s character, Noah Sandborn, a younger man who moves in next door.
Despite the uncomfortable nature of their on-screen intimacy, Lopez says she could relate to the character and the film as a whole.
Speaking to the Build Series, Lopez said, “For me, Claire Peterson was a very relatable character…a lot of people understand what it is to be in a relationship that’s falling apart.”
Guzman, who played two different sides of his character, found the role equally challenging.

“Some days, I would be happy and crazy at the same time.
And I would go home and wonder, ‘Who the hell am I?’” he told the Build Series.
However, he tried to keep things light on set, particularly after filming intense scenes.
During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lopez revealed the s** scene wasn’t fun, describing it as “awkward and a little uncomfortable.” She also admitted the scenes were “embarrassing” at times due to the intensity of the emotions they had to convey.
“It was intense,” Lopez says.
“Those scenes are embarrassing.
They are uncomfortable, but your job as an actress and an actor is to make it believable.
And this movie in particular, with these two characters, the whole movie hinges on if that scene was believable.”
Despite having used body doubles in the past for certain scenes, Lopez decided to do the s** scene herself without a double.
“It was all me,” she told E!
News.
“And all Ryan, by the way.”
This isn’t the first time Lopez has discussed feeling uncomfortable during a s** scene.
In a 2013 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she called the racy scene in her film Parker “awful” because of the number of people on set.
According to Lopez, the room was so quiet you could “hear a pin drop” when it was time for her big scene.
Despite the discomfort and embarrassment, Lopez says the scene was necessary to the plot and had to be believable in order for the rest of the movie to work.
It seems that she and Guzman succeeded in making it just that.
