Jennifer Lawrence‘s bold choice to embrace method acting for this particular scene left everyone on set astounded. In an interview with Variety, she explained her rationale, saying, “Everyone in my life and my team is doing the right thing and going, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?’ I didn’t even have a second thought. It was hilarious to me.” Her commitment to the role and the film’s comedic essence ultimately delivered one of the most memorable moments of ‘No Hard Feelings.’
The film’s standout scene involves Lawrence’s character skinny dipping with Feldman’s character, which takes a hilarious twist when she has to fend off a group of drunken teenagers attempting to steal her clothes. Lawrence, fully committed to the role, decided to stay naked for the duration of the shoot to maintain the authenticity of the scene and alleviate any potential tension on set.
In ‘No Hard Feelings’, Lawrence portrays Maddie, an Uber driver in the Hamptons struggling with financial woes. The plot thickens when she answers a Craigslist ad from a wealthy couple, played by Laura Benanti and Matthew Broderick, looking to hire a woman to date their socially awkward 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), before he heads off to college. The story unfolds into one of the raunchiest comedies in recent times, with Lawrence delivering a performance full of laughter and unexpected turns.
