Jennifer Aniston has one boundary she won’t cross when it comes to the audition process.

During the Hollywood Reporter’s drama actress roundtable, Aniston and several other A-list actors were asked if they could “relate” to Anne Hathaway’s experience of having to make out with multiple men during “gross” chemistry tests in the 2000s.

While some of the women dealt with similar experiences, the “Friends” star said she was never forced “to lay down” and “simulate” intimacy.

“And if asked, I would never,” the 55-year-old said in the interview published Wednesday.

In fact, the “Morning Show” star believes chemistry tests are slightly unnecessary to begin with.

“Also, when you’re in an audition room, you’re already at a disadvantage,” she explained. “Maybe you’d have chemistry with this person if you were in a different environment and not, like, ‘Create chemistry. Ready? Go!'”

Aniston explained that she has “always” been “a terrible auditioner” and the stress of chemistry tests didn’t help.

“So, if you’re a nervous auditioner to begin with, to then say, ‘Now let’s have you make out with a complete stranger,’ it’s very uncomfortable,” the former sitcom star said.

Aniston was joined by Nicole Kidman, Brie Larson, Anna Sawai, Naomi Watts, Sofía Vergara and Jodie Foster for the expansive interview.

Most of the women agreed with Aniston’s take on chemistry reads, with Watts recalling a “very awkward” audition in which she had to kiss “a very well-known actor,” whom she didn’t name.

“It was mortifying because we didn’t hear a ‘cut,’ and it just kept going,” Watts, 55, explained. “Then they were like, ‘OK, OK.’ And we both were like, ‘Oh, sorry, we didn’t hear …’ I did feel a bit rattled.”

“I was auditioning and I didn’t get the job, so clearly I did not do a good make-out,” she joked.

Last month, Hathaway told V magazine she made drastic changes to the auditioning process of her film “The Idea of You” after having a few unsavory experiences when she was a young actress.

“Back in the 2000s — and this did happen to me — it was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors to test for chemistry, which is actually the worst way to do it,” the Oscar winner, 41, said.

“I was told, ‘We have 10 guys coming today and you’re cast. Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’” she recalled. “And I thought, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded gross.”

Despite her discomfort, Hathaway agreed to do it out of fear of being labeled “difficult” and ousted from the industry.

When it came time for the “Devils Wear Prada” star to cast the lead male in “The Idea of You”, she asked each actor to sing a song for the chemistry test rather than subject them to awkward, forced intimacy.

“[A song] that they would put on to get my character to dance, and then we’d do a short little improv,” she explained. “I was sitting in a chair like we had come in from dinner or a walk or something, we pressed play, and we just started dancing together.”
