Why Jennifer Lawrence hated her sex scene in 'Passengers' (Far Out Magazine)

As a film, Passengers seemed to be eternally stuck in the terminal, but for Jennifer Lawrence sex scenes with Chris Pratt made the sci-fi hard to forget.

Thus, while Chris Pratt was not to blame, she told The Hollywood Reporter that she had to get “really, really drunk” to cope with the scenes. This discussion recently came to the fore when Sean Bean said that they “spoil the spontaneity” of the scene. She found the experience to be “really awkward” and although it was merely fiction, she found that kissing a married man was very uncomfortable.

Jennifer Lawrence Admits She Never Should Have Accepted The ... (TheThings)

While the role paid well, Passengers ranks as THE film in all of her repertoire that Jennifer Lawrence wishes she had not done.

The goal of Lawrence's management team was to make her a Hollywood star. The market was just becoming so flooded with them that it got to the point it did not matter what the storyline was. It is just a good script with a good actress who appears to have found a love for acting once again. But because it ended up being a film that the X-Men: First Class star learned a lot about herself on and the type of actress she wanted to be, participating in Passengers was not all for naught. And while those folks were sending scripts to her management team, Lawrence contends that none of them ever "reached her." And her reasoning behind why she thought it was a film to pass on was quite simple. One of the celebrity friends who warned Lawrence not to do Passengers was none other than Adele. And while Passengers made hundreds of millions of dollars, there were so many missteps in the film that it was a critical failure. There is no reason that those who developed the spacecraft would not have accounted for needing to dodge things, like asteroids, in space (Misstep). And that warning is one that the American Hustle star wishes she would have heeded. Had Passengers been a thriller, more fans and critics may have been able to get behind the movie. That success could be directly attributed to Lawrence starring in the film, shortly after her success with The Hunger Games trilogy.
