Jennifer Lawrence Had to Get ‘Really Drunk’ to Film Her First Sex Scene

Wait — Jennifer Lawrence hasn’t shot a sex scene before?

Jennifer Lawrence may not be getting much action IRL, but she recently shot her first sex scene with Chris Pratt for the upcoming sci-fi drama Passengers — and she nearly lost her damn mind.

“I got really really drunk,” Lawrence said during a recent roundtable discussion for the Hollywood Reporter. “But then that led to more anxiety when I got home because I was like, ‘What have I done? I don’t know’ … It was just very vulnerable. And you don’t know what’s too much. You want to do it real, you want everything to be real, but then … That was the most vulnerable I’ve ever been.”

A big issue for Lawrence is that fact that Pratt is a married man (to funny lady Anna Faris.) 

“…it was going to be my first time kissing a married man, and guilt is the worst feeling in your stomach. And I knew it was my job, but I couldn’t tell my stomach that. So I called my mom, and I was like, ‘Will you just tell me it’s OK?’ It was just very vulnerable. And you don’t know what’s too much. You want to do it real, you want everything to be real, but then … That was the most vulnerable I’ve ever been.”

It sounds like J-Law eventually got over it — and we can see her between the sheets with Pratt when Passengers opens in 2016. We’ll bet Bradley Cooper will be jealous!
