Zoey Deutch described filming alongside Jennifer Aniston in Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass as one of the most surreal and inspiring experiences of her career. The 31‑year‑old actress told PEOPLE that although she had met Aniston before and found her warm and funny, actually sharing a scene with her felt like watching “the greatest of all time” at work.
Deutch admitted she was so captivated by Aniston’s performance that she felt more like an audience member than a co‑star.
The screwball comedy follows Deutch as Gail, a hairdresser whose fiancé cashes in on their celebrity hall pass by sleeping with Aniston’s character. Gail, blindsided by the betrayal, sets out to find her own pass in Hollywood, targeting Jon Hamm.
Deutch recalled the shoot as both hilarious and humbling, saying every take with Aniston was brilliant and that the moment was “one of the coolest” of her life.
The film, directed by Wet Hot American Summer alums David Wain and Ken Marino, is packed with A‑list cameos. For Deutch, it marks another chapter in her growing romcom résumé, following projects like Voicemails for Isabelle, Set It Up, and Something from Tiffany’s.
Aniston, meanwhile, continues her reign as a romcom icon with classics such as Along Came Polly and Just Go With It.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Deutch said she had “a blast” and praised Wain’s singular comedic vision, calling the project perfectly timed and uniquely his.
