Jennifer Lawrence possesses a unique perspective on the more revealing aspects of her profession, espousing a silver lining that she finds in the often-challenging tasks of her film work. The "Hunger Games" alum recently shared her unapologetic stance on filming nude scenes, as seen in her latest project, "Die My Love," explaining that she is "not sensitive" about baring all.
During a screening of the new movie, Jennifer told a captive audience, as captured by Vulture and shared on TikTok on November 3rd, "I don't care about nudity. I wanted [director] Lynne [Ramsay] to have total artistic freedom." Her perspective was further underscored by her experience while pregnant during filming, which she described as a time when her "vanity anxiety" disappeared. This mindset provided a contrast to her experience filming a nude scene in the 2023 comedy "No Hard Feelings," where she recalled being "tired" after working 15-hour days.
The Oscar winner explained that it "felt really freeing" to not be concerned about her appearance while making the movie with costar Robert Pattinson. She recounted a moment during production where they sent over a close-up of cellulite, asking if they should touch it up. Her response was unequivocal: "No. That's an ass."
However, Jennifer's mindset was vastly different before filming her 2018 thriller "Red Sparrow," which featured her first-ever nude scene. The "American Hustle" actress admitted to Vanity Fair at the time that the film "really scared the hell out of me because I get nude." She recounted trying to do the movie without nudity but ultimately realizing it wouldn't be right for the character without it. Despite the initial apprehension, she saw the decision as empowering and "my choice," adding, "I got something back that was taken from me."
Furthermore, her director on "Red Sparrow," Francis Lawrence, helped make the process feel more normal. She explained, "He looked me right in the eyes like I had clothes on and then all of a sudden I was like, 'Oh, OK, it’s just like I have clothes on.'" She continued, "Everybody here is professional. You’re still at work. One look just made me comfortable. It didn’t make me feel naked."
