Jennifer Lawrence revealed why first ever nude scene in film on Netflix was ‘no big deal’
Jennifer Lawrence has been famous for a very long time and has starred in numerous films in that time - however, she only did her first ever nude scene just a couple of years ago.
Lawrence is one of the most recognisable actors around, having amassed a whopping $6 billion from her films over the years.
Whether it be the Hunger Games franchise, the racy spy thriller Red Sparrow, or the bizarre drama Mother! - where she admitted that sleeping with the director didn’t aid her in understanding the script - she has never been afraid of starring in controversial movies.
Her first movie to feature her fully nude however, which is available to watch on Netflix, is a rom-com called No Hard Feelings.

The film she starred in alongside Andrew Barth Feldman, with a small pre-fame role for The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach, followed her as a woman on the brink of losing her home and having lost her car.
She agrees to a job dating a 19-year-old after being hired by his parents to help him gain the confidence before he goes off to college.
This marked her first fully nude scene in film, however she stated that it was ‘no big deal’ for her to do so at 32.
She called the R Rated film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly ‘really pushing the envelope and really inappropriate and raunchy’.
She joked in the interview that after she wrapped the film, she asked herself ‘are we gonna be okay?’
When asked about how her and Barth Feldman prepared for the nude scenes in the film, Lawrence responded saying: “I don’t know, it didn’t really feel like a big deal to me… you just kinda do it.”
Barth Feldman went on to clarify that they had an intimacy co-ordinator on set and that the nude scenes were filmed with a closed set.
He said it was ‘as safe and professional as it could possibly be’ on set for these scenes.
The commitment to safety clearly paid off as the movie was a success.
The film made nearly $100 million, an impressive haul for an R-Rated Romcom, and was given predominantly glowing reviews from viewers.
Though the Rotten Tomatoes critic score came in at a decent 70%, the fan score is a whopping 86%.
One 8/10 review claimed that films like No Hard Feelings are ‘not made anymore’, saying: “This film reminds me of the 2000s. This kind of genre which they hardly release in cinemas anymore.
“They both have great chemistry. Highly recommend this film if you want some laughs with a bit of a heartfelt story!”
No Hard Feelings is available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
