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.
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.”
Frozen Anna star reveals slipping dirty joke ‘under the radar’ into final cut of the movie
Disney has a history of occasionally sneaking such humour into their films, and Frozen is no exception.
Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in Disney’s 2013 blockbuster Frozen, recently revealed that a cheeky joke slipped into one of the film’s musical numbers – and it nearly didn’t make it to the final cut.
The scene in question comes early in the movie during the song “For the First Time in Forever,” as Anna sings about her excitement for the castle’s grand reopening and the chance to meet new people, especially potential suitors.But one particular line, which now seems more suggestive than Disney’s typical humour, managed to sneak by.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Bell revisited her role and expressed her surprise that the joke made it into the film.
As Anna excitedly prepares for the event, she sings the line, “Why have a ballroom with no balls?” Bell, reflecting on the moment, seemed just as amused and astonished as fans have been since noticing the double entendre.
“We slid it in under the radar,” she said, laughing about how the line almost didn’t make it through Disney’s notoriously strict content guidelines.
She explained that while some were hesitant about including the joke, they were able to defend it: “We were like, ‘What are you talking about? That’s not what it means. Don’t be a perv.’”
