Whether or not you’ve seen No Hard Feelings, you’ve certainly heard of it by now, likely due to a much-talked-about beach-set birthday suit-wearing fight scene with none other than Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.
During a recent interview, Lawrence revealed that while people in and around her personal and professional life weren’t sure about her doing the scene, the 32-year-0ld former Oscar winner for Best Actress said that she never had any reservations about the scene — which has been hilariously compared to the one in the shower from David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises — because of how funny she thought it was.
“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,” Lawrence said about the already-infamous scene, which she said required “a lot of rehearsal,” during a recent interview with Variety.
During its opening weekend at the box office, No Hard Feelings racked up $15 million at the domestic box office and $9.5 million at the international box office, which is a solid start for the $45M-budgeted R-rated rom-com. The film has also been heralded as a showcase of Lawrence’s unique talents and a reminder of why she became such a massive movie star in the first place.
In addition to Lawrence, No Hard Feelings, which was written and directed by Good Boys director Gene Stupnitsky, stars Andrew Barth Feldman — who also told a hilarious story about having to tell Lawrence “let’s f***” basically as soon as he met here — Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, and Matthew Broderick.
Here’s the official synopsis for No Hard Feelings, via Sony Pictures:
Maddie Barker (Lawrence) thinks she’s found the answer to her financial troubles when she discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to “date” their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, and bring him out of his shell before he leaves for college. But awkward Percy proves to be more of a challenge than she expected, and time is running out. She has one summer to make him a man or lose it all.
