Perhaps "painful" wasn't exactly the word everyone was hoping to hear, but that's how Alec Baldwin described his on-screen kiss with Jennifer Aniston on "30 Rock." The actor revealed what it was like locking lips with the "Friends" star when cornered by New York Magazine on the sidelines of the Tisch on Stage gala in 2008. "It was painful," he signed. "I mean, every man who's had to make out with her in TV and movies — I don't know how they do it."
He was kidding, of course! Because just about a week later, Baldwin gushed to People about how much he enjoyed sharing the screen with Aniston and kissing her. "It was the greatest day of my life," he said, noting that kissing scenes, in general, are usually not so great. "Whenever you do that with someone, it's so fake. They're getting paid to kiss you and I'm getting paid to kiss her. But she's a doll."
At the time, Baldwin also expressed his utmost gratitude to Aniston for agreeing to guest-star on "30 Rock." Per IMDb, her one-time appearance on the show earned Aniston a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2008. "Jennifer is obviously someone who has a lot of things she could be doing with her time," said Baldwin. "Jennifer Aniston could be making films, she could be shopping, she could be buying a private island somewhere — she could be doing virtually anything she wants to do. And for her to take time to come be with us, I'm very, very grateful."
