The Passengers star shared that everyone around her was concerned and asked her, “Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?” However, she wanted to do the scene as she found it hilarious. “I didn’t even have a second thought. It was hilarious to me,” she added.

Jennifer Lawrence Went Out of Her Comfort Zone

Talking about filming the rollerblading scenes, the Don’t Look Up actress said, “I mean, the rollerblading scenes were intense!” Although she shared that she was out of her comfort zone, she also said she was not “uncomfortable” working on the movie and had a great time.
While she shared that she wasn’t hesitant about the naked scenes in the movie, it was not the same for her 2018 film, Red Sparrow. The actress shared that she had to “really think about it” before she accepted the offer due to some of the scenes in the movie.
While she shared that she felt pretty comfortable filming the nude scene in her latest movie. It could also be due to the difference between the concept and plot of the movies.
