Jennifer Aniston was worried she'd get into serious trouble for kissing Will Poulter when he was a teenager.
Aniston and Poulter starred alongside the likes of Emma Roberts and Jason Sudeikis in comedy classic We're the Millers.
The 2013 film followed drug dealer David Clark (Sudeikis) who was forced to smuggle weed into Mexico from the US.

To make sure he gets through border control, he gets together a fake family - Aniston as his wife with Roberts and Poulter playing his two kids.
In one memorable scene, which won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, Aniston and Roberts teach Poulter how to - indeed - kiss as his character has never been with a girl before.
But Poulter told The Independent that the Friends star was 'very supportive'.
“She took care of me, and was aware that, being a 19-year-old kid in that scenario, I was very nervous,” he said.
“This was before intimacy coordinators, which I really would have appreciated, and I’m sure Emma and Jen would have, too.”
He added: “It’s one of those things – any scene where there’s some level of intimacy in the context of a broad comedy, where it’s very much a joke and it’s not played with romantic sincerity, is always really awkward.
“Obviously my main concern in that moment was for Jen and Emma, who I felt very sorry for.”
However, it seems that Aniston - who was 45 at the time - was concerned about Poulter being so young.
"It’s so disturbing. He’s very young. He was underage. I thought, this is kind of illegal,” she said in an interview on Conan.
"It was just a kiss. That’s not illegal," the veteran actor clarified.
"I think it was Jen who thought it would be funny if Rose joined in, which made all the difference in the sequence," Poulter later told Collider.
"It was kind of a bizarre scene to film, we kind of just laughed our way through it. It was a very awkward day for all involved."
Now, back when Aniston was promoting her and Adam Sandler's Netflix film Murder Mystery - she was asked about potential film sequels.
“Yes, We’re The Millers,” Aniston revealed. “There was talk about that. But that one didn’t happen.”
Sad,
If you're an Aniston fan that still hasn't watched the 2013 flick, it'd definitely recommend adding it to your list.
