Jennifer Lawrence Said Her Nudity Made People Uncomfortable On Red Sparrow Set

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jennifer Lawrence revealed that she spent quite a bit of time on the set of Red Sparrow naked, to the point that it made people uncomfortable. Here are highlights:

On her accent in the film: “I’ve never done a foreign accent before. It was daunting and scary but I hope we pulled it off. I don’t want to talk about the accent until the movie comes out because I don’t want to say, ‘I did this and I did that, and it was really quite easy for me,’ and then just get annihilated.”

On ballerina training: “The idea of me being a ballerina was, before four months of training, laughable. Now I can move my arms a little bit. I couldn’t get on pointe or anything like that, but it was more helpful for just kind of learning the mental and physical discipline that goes [into ballet]. It was more of a character study.”

On appearing fully nude in the movie: “There’s one particular scene in the movie where your nightmare comes true from grade school, where you’re standing naked in front of a classroom full of people. So that became a reality, but it actually wasn’t that bad. Everybody made me feel so comfortable that I probably at a certain point started making everybody else uncomfortable. Because I’d be like, ‘I don’t want the robe. I’m hot. I’m eating.’ Everybody’s like, ‘She needs to cover up.'”
