Jennifer Lawrence's latest film Red Sparrow hit cinemas yesterday, and it continues to be a big talking point. It's the first movie in which the 27-year-old decided to bare all and do a nude scene, and everyone wants to know how the "relatable" actress feels about it.
Lawrence opened up about the insecurities she felt during filming, and like all of us, revealed that she's got certain parts of her body she feels most self-conscious about. She elaborated on this during a recent interview on Ellen, telling the television host what she was most nervous about when getting her kit off for the camera.
Ellen started off by saying that she and her wife Portia de Rossi loved the film, which is based on a Russian prima ballerina who becomes a secret service spy. Ellen recommended the audience see the thriller, before turning to Lawrence to ask her about her nude scene. After once claiming she would never be filmed naked in front of the camera, Ellen questioned the actress about what made her change her mind.
"I think I finally just got hot," Jennifer quipped, before answering the question more seriously. "To me, it was really just an amazing script and story," she explained. "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."
She said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair that because it was her choice to go nude, rather than someone else's, it actually made her feel incredibly "empowered". Lawrence told Ellen that most of the crew she worked with on the Hunger Games was there, which was comforting for the actress. However, there was one insecurity in particular that was stressing her out.
"All of the crew were all from Hunger Games, they were very nice - they went in at 3 in the morning to set up heaters because it was a very Hungarian winter and I was always complaining about being cold.
"Then I came in and it was so toasty and warm and I was like 'What are you doing with this heat? My nipples are going to be huge!"
This incited hysterical laughter from Ellen and the audience, with Lawrence going on to say that the crew started panicking and saying that they didn't know what she wanted. She laughed that the crew said, "Jen, you can't diet anymore."
The conversation then moved to the recent incident in which people pointed out how unfair it was that Lawrence wore a plunging black dress in freezing temperatures during a promotional event in London, while her male costars posing for the photo wore winter coats. Lawrence has since slammed criticisms, saying it was her choice not to wear a coat.
"It was a fabulous dress I wasn't going to cover it up in a f*****g coat," she told Ellen. "Also, I shoot in below freezing weather in record-breaking winters, I can stand outside for 90 seconds in a dress."
Well, large nipples or not, we still love you, Jen.
