Jennifer Lawrence has been all over the news recently as she’s done her worldwide press tour for upcoming blockbuster hit Red Sparrow.
Following all that’s gone on in Hollywood over the past few months, with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, it’s fair to say people have been wondering why such an outspoken critic of sexual exploitation would so soon star in a film along those lines.
Lawrence has also previously said she’d never do a nude scene in a movie but that was more down to her own insecurities than anything else. However, due to the very nature of Red Sparrow, J-Law was required to do the odd sex scene.
A lot of people have tried to point to the fact her nudes have been all over the internet anyway, so why would she care? But of course anyone with half a brain cell should realise that your private images being leaked completely out of your control and choosing to do a nude scene in a controlled environment of a movie set are two completely different things.
Choice being the operative word, folks.
Anyway, part of her tour saw Lawrence land on the world famous sofa of none other than Ellen DeGeneres. During that interview, the 27-year-old actress was asked about the nude scene and why she decided to do it.
You can watch her candid response, and her concerns about her nipples, in the video below:
J-Law joked with Ellen while sipping a rum cocktail:
I think I finally just got hot.
Before getting serious and revealing:
To me it was really just an amazing script and story.
I loved the character and I just didn’t want to miss out on it because of like my weird insecurities so I did it and it was really lovely
Lawrence also revealed she felt more comfortable with the crew of Red Sparrow as most of them had worked with her during filming of the three Hunger Games films she so brilliantly starred in.
However she was left a little hot under the collar when the crew, filming during a freezing winter in Hungary, decided to turn the heaters on at 3am to make sure the sex scene was done in a warm room. People were taking their clothes off after all, wouldn’t want anyone to catch a cold.
But it was exactly that which caused Jennifer’s outburst to the crew when she said:
What are you doing with this heat!? My nipples are going to be huge!!
Naturally and entirely expectedly, Jen is way more comfortable being nude in a scene she’s in total control of rather than private images being leaked which they so famously did a few years ago. She even went as far as to say she felt ’empowered’ by this scene.
Red Sparrow was officially released on March 2 and looks brilliant, as you can see in the trailer below:

Looks decent.
