Jennifer Lawrence and co-star Andrew Barth Feldman have opened up about filming ‘weird’ and ‘uncomfortable’ naked scenes in their movie No Hard Feelings.
The R-rated comedy is centred on Maddie (played by Lawrence) who, on the brink of losing her home, finds an intriguing job offer - a couple asking for someone to 'date' their introverted 19-year-old son Percy (played by Feldman) to get him out of his shell before he leaves for college.
And by ‘date’ the couple really mean… well, I’m sure you can work that out by the title. You can check out the trailer here:

No Hard Feelings' hilarious trailer shows Maddie desperately trying to seduce an incredibly awkward Percy who refuses to respond positively to her advances.
At one point, we see Maddie defeatedly telling her pals that Percy is just plain 'unf**kable'. Ouch.
As you can probably guess, the movie has some pretty steamy scenes - the filming of which could get a little bit ‘uncomfortable’ at times, according to Feldman, 21.
Opening up about a scene in which the duo strip off for a spot of skinny dipping, Lawrence, 32, told People: “I took a deep breath and then I disrobed.”
While Feldman, who recently revealed he put off attending Harvard to star in the flick, admitted that it was ‘definitely a weird and uncomfortable thing to do for any human being on the planet Earth’.
However, he added: “But it was so incredibly safe. Everyone was so kind, constantly checking in that we were okay.”
Another scene in the movie sees poor Percy clinging to the hood of a car in the nude.
“I never second guessed it,” Feldman said of the scene.
“Much like everything in this movie, you just have to do it, and then it will be done.”
He added: “The car [scene] was so exciting. “The sort of crucial part of my junk was up against the hood, so I didn't really have to worry about that... It was a big fun ride.”
I guess that’s one way to describe it.
Lawrence has previously revealed that plot the movie is actually based upon a real Craigslist ad that director and co-writer Gene Stupnitsky spotted.
She told Entertainment Weekly: "Gene read the Craigslist ad to me, and I died laughing.
"I thought it was hilarious, but there wasn't a script or anything. I just thought he had a funny idea. And then a couple years later, he handed me the funniest script I've ever read in my life.”
