Jennifer Lawrence is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses and a household name thanks to her impressive resume and unique persona. Lawrence is known for her self-assurance, but even she got nervous filming an intimate scene for the movie.
For their space adventure film Passengers, Lawrence and Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chris Pratt opened up about their on-set s*x experience during a recent Seth Meyers show appearance.
Jennifer Lawrence Nervously Shot A S*x Scene
Jennifer Lawrence said she was scared she would come off as a predator while filming the s*x scene with Pratt. An actress must strike the right note when filming a passionate scene, but it can be challenging. Lawrence said she felt unprepared for the scene and worried she would overact or underact.

Lawrence felt out of place despite Pratt’s reputation for amiability. She explained to Meyers that she and Pratt had not planned any moves ahead of time because doing so would have only made things more awkward for everyone involved. Jennifer Lawrence joked that she would apologize profusely if she did something wrong.
“I was so nervous,’cause I was, like, paranoid, about coming across as a predator, for one. … With s*x scenes, you don’t know what to do. You’re like, ‘Is it too — is it enough?’ Is it — or your worst nightmare, is it too much? Are they gonna be like, ‘Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!’ … You don’t know that to do! I’d be like, ‘Oh my God, I’m sorry!’ I just, I don’t know, acting?'”
Jennifer Lawrence showed her sense of humor and ability to make light of uncomfortable situations by laughing off her nerves and awkwardness. The actress further expressed that even s*x scenes with someone as relaxed as Pratt was uncomfortable.
“It’s so uncomfortable. Am I gonna [ask], ‘You gonna hump me once? You gonna get on top?’ You don’t talk about it at all, and that makes it so much more uncomfortable.”
Despite both actors being comfortable with each other, JLaw’s admission to be nervous is intriguing because of how the Marvel star wanted his co-star to be comfortable during these s*x scenes.
Chris Pratt Wanted Jennifer Lawrence To Be Comfortable
In an interview with E! News at the 2016 Comic Con, Chris Pratt explains how he tried to calm Lawrence’s nerves down. According to him, the “job as a leading man is to make the actress feel comfortable.”
“We’re actors and it’s a big a part of the job. Your job as a leading man is to make the actress feel comfortable, and you do that by minimizing the amount of people that are there and … having a sense of whether or not they’re feeling okay.”
However, the actress drank a little to help her nerves before filming the scene. Lawrence admitted that she was extremely inebriated during the filming of the scene. She felt even more uneasy after admitting that her first kiss was with a married man.
