Jennifer Lawrence Shares Rare Insight Into Her Motherhood Journey
Jennifer Lawrence can see the silver lining when it comes to the more revealing parts of her job.
The Hunger Games alum shared why she isn’t bothered by filming nude scenes in movies, like the ones she had in her new project Die My Love, explaining that she is “not sensitive” about baring all.
“I don’t care about nudity,” Jennifer told a crowd during a screening of the new movie, as seen in a video captured by Vulture and uploaded to TikTok Nov. 3. “I wanted [director] Lynne [Ramsay] to have total freedom artistically.”
The 35-year-old—who shares son Cy, 3, and a baby born earlier this year with husband Cooke Maroney—added that being pregnant while filming took her “vanity anxiety” away. And that mindset proved to provide a different experience than when she filmed a nude scene in the 2023 comedy No Hard Feelings.
“I remember before No Hard Feelings, I was dieting and not eating carbs and working out,” Jennifer continued, but noted that, this time, “I was pregnant. What was I gonna do? Like, not eat? I was working 15 hours a day. I was just tired.”
Indeed, the Oscar winner explained that it “felt really freeing” to not be concerned about her appearance while making the movie with costar Robert Pattinson.
“I remember them sending over a close-up of cellulite being like, ‘Do you want us to touch this up?'” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘No. That’s an ass.'”
But while Jennifer is clearly comfortable with nudity these days, her mindset was vastly different ahead of filming her 2018 thriller Red Sparrow, which featured her first-ever nude scene.

“Red Sparrow really scared the hell out of me because I get nude,” the American Hustle actress told Vanity Fair at the time. “I tried to do the movie without nudity but realized it just wouldn’t be right to put the character through something that I, myself, am not willing to go through.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer—whose personal nude photos were hacked and shared online in 2014—saw the moment as an empowering decision that was “my choice,” adding, “I got something back that was taken from me.”
Plus, her Red Sparrow director Francis Lawrence helped make the process feel “normal.”
“He looked me right in the eyes like I had clothes on and then all of a sudden I was like, ‘Oh, OK, it’s just like I have clothes on,’” she explained. “Everybody here is professional. You’re still at work. One look just made me comfortable. It didn’t make me feel naked.”
