Jennifer Lawrence admits to ‘flashing’ camera crew on 2018 thriller with Hunger Games director
Jennifer Lawrence has never shied away from being open about embarrassing moments experienced throughout her impressive acting career.
Now, the X-Men star has opened up about one of her past awkward moments while working on Francis Lawrence‘s 2018 thriller Red Sparrow, in which she plays the lead character.
Lawrence is also known for directing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and both parts of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
In the 2018 movie, Lawrence plays former ballerina turned Russian spy Dominika Egorova, who uses her body as a weapon when forced into certain situations.
Lawrence’s character Dominika is ordered to strip in front of a room full of people in order to show how powerful her body is.
While discussing the topic of getting her clothes off in front of her Red Sparrow cast and crew, Lawrence told a press conference: “The reality of shooting them is so different from watching.”
“With Francis, he’s almost a paternal figure to me and the camera guys I’ve known since I was little,” she added.
“It was almost like being in a nude house,” she continued.
“Like those families who get naked in front of each other.”
Lawrence further explained, “It felt like that. Like, I accidentally flashed the camera guys and they were like, ‘Oh my god!’”
“You create a sense of privacy,” she added.
“You only have the people that need to be there and that footage only goes to me and the editor — it doesn’t go to the studio, it doesn’t go to the producers.”
“So they feel protected in that way.”
