Jennifer Lawrence causes controversy for “winning an Oscar but… doing a nude scene”
“No Hard Feelings” is the only film featuring actress Jennifer Lawrence that was released this year. Her role in the film caused controversy because the nude scene was not expensive.
The movie No Hard Feelings was released in June this year. But it was only now, when the film was shown on an online entertainment platform, that the public was abuzz with discussion about the shocking nude scene performed by American actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Before that, when No Hard Feelings was released, the film received mixed reviews from critics. This is an 18+ comedy revolving around a woman hired by a wealthy couple to… seduce their son. The young man has a closed personality, behaves awkwardly and has no experience in love.
The wealthy couple wanted their son to have his first romantic experience before he left home to go to college. The comedy has some shockingly bold scenes, but it was not highly rated because of its predictable script.
The film cost around $45 million to produce. It grossed $87 million at the box office. At the time of its release, there was not much discussion about the film. It was only recently that Jennifer Lawrence’s nude scene began to stir up discussion when the public watched the film on online entertainment platforms.
Many viewers expressed their disbelief at the fact that an Oscar-winning actress like Jennifer Lawrence agreed to do such an inexpensive nude scene. The scene was purely intended for humor. The entire content of the film was also just comedic and entertaining.

In the controversial scene, Lawrence’s character takes action against a group of people who steal her clothes while she is on a date on the beach.
Some people find this nude scene interesting, showing Lawrence’s boldness and dedication to filming, even though it is a film project that is only for entertainment purposes.
However, there are also more critical audiences who think that this scene is unnecessary, an Oscar-winning actress like Lawrence should not easily agree to do such an inexpensive nude scene.
Regarding this nude scene, Jennifer Lawrence shared during the film’s promotion: “My colleagues at work, my relatives and the members of the film crew were all surprised when I agreed to do this nude scene. But I didn’t think too much about it. This is a comedy, that scene was also very funny to me.”

Previously, many Hollywood actresses who are considered to have acting talent have spoken out saying that they limit performing nude scenes and “hot” scenes. If the sensitive scene is not valuable, does not effectively serve the character and the overall story of the film, they will refuse to perform it. This is considered a move to reduce the sexualization of the actress’s image on screen.
In her acting career, Jennifer Lawrence has received 4 nominations at the Oscars. She won the golden statue for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook (Love Found Again – 2012).
A talented actress like Lawrence agreed to perform a shocking nude scene in a comedy project purely for entertainment purposes, which makes many audiences feel confused.
Some film critics even said that with her role in No Hard Feelings, Lawrence herself felt “unstable”, to the point that she agreed to perform this shocking scene in… “despair”, hoping that the film would have something worth talking about and something that would remain in the minds of viewers.
