In her most daring role yet, the Oscar-winning actress spent an entire day filming a scene completely nude, a decision she found more amusing than nerve-wracking.
Best known for her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise, the actress took on a much more risqué role.
The film, now streaming on Netflix, features Lawrence as Maddie, a struggling woman who agrees to help a socially awkward 19-year-old gain confidence – and lose his virginity – before he heads off to college.
The film’s comedic and unfiltered approach sets it apart from her past work, but one scene, in particular, had audiences talking.
For Jennifer Lawrence, stepping outside her comfort zone took on a bold new meaning when she went fully nude for a physically intense scene.
Unlike the usual film tactics that rely on strategic camera angles or props to preserve modesty, this scene was unapologetically raw—leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination.
In an interview with Variety, Lawrence opened up about the experience: “Everyone in my life and on my team kept asking, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?’ But I didn’t even hesitate. I thought it was hilarious.”
The scene in question features her character, Maddie, caught off guard by a group of drunk teenagers trying to make off with her clothes. Rather than retreat, Maddie retaliates—completely nude.
Blending physical comedy with intricate fight choreography, the scene proved to be a distinctive challenge for Lawrence.
Audiences quickly applauded her fearless commitment, with many hailing it as one of the most unforgettable—and entertaining—fight scenes in recent memory.
Though it only lasts a few minutes on screen, the shoot demanded a full day of filming to get it just right.
Andrew Barth Feldman, who plays the socially awkward teen Percy in No Hard Feelings, recalled how comfortable and professional the environment was on set.
“We became so close instantly that nothing ever felt weird or unsafe. It was entirely professional,” he said.
In a humorous exchange, Lawrence jokingly responded: “Even when I put my T-shirt over your head and motor-boated you? You felt safe?”
To which Feldman playfully replied: “I felt it was an exclusively sterile and professional environment.”
The film has received a strong response from audiences, boasting an 86 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
With its mix of raunchy humor, heartfelt moments, and Lawrence’s boldest on-screen performance yet, No Hard Feelings has become a must-watch on Netflix.
