Jennifer Lawrence Says Sex Scenes Are Easier With Strangers, Cites First-Day Nude ‘Tiger’ Scene With Pattinson

She said interpretive-dance rehearsals helped before filming the first-day nude “tiger” scene with Robert Pattinson.

Overview

  • Speaking at a Jan. 7 92NY Happy Sad Confused event, Lawrence said intimate scenes feel less awkward with co-stars she doesn’t know, contrasting that with kissing longtime friend Josh Hutcherson in The Hunger Games.
  • Lawrence described feeling pre-production anxiety and said she prefers to tackle the most awkward material early when working with a new partner.
  • She revealed that Die My Love began with a nude “tiger” sequence opposite Pattinson on day one of shooting.
  • To prepare, Lawrence and Pattinson spent weeks in Calgary doing interpretive-dance exercises that she said made the eventual nude work less embarrassing.
  • Coverage differs on whether an intimacy coordinator was used: Variety reports one was employed, while Lawrence has said they “didn’t really” have one but that she felt safe with Pattinson; the Lynne Ramsay film is now streaming on Mubi.
