As Lawrence once revealed in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, the actress was very nervous about the filming of an intimate scene inPassengersas this was the first adult scene she had to do in her career as an actress. Talking about the experience of filming the scene, Lawrence said,
“I had my first real s*x scene a couple of weeks ago and it was really bizarre, it was really weird. Everything was done right, it wasn’t anybody’s fault, nobody did anything wrong, it’s just a bizarre experience.”
Jennifer Lawrence further revealed that she got hammered in order to deal with the awkwardness of filming the scene and even that did not help her. She even mentioned how she felt guilty of kissing Chris Pratt on screen as he is a married man. She said,
“I got really, really drunk, but then that led to more anxiety. When I got home I was like, ‘what have I done?’…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.
“It was just very vulnerable. You don’t know what’s too much. You want to do it real. You want everything to be real. That was the most vulnerable I’ve ever been.”

Chris Pratt describes how an actor should minimize the awkwardness in such intimate scenes
Unlike Jennifer Lawrence who was a complete wreck before feeling the intimate scene onPassengers,Chris Pratttried his best to stay professional and minimize the awkwardness for himself and Lawrence. In an interview withEntertainment Weekly’sThe Jess Cagle Interview, Pratt opened up about the filming of the intimate scene from passengers and said,
“I don’t want to make generalizations based on gender, but I feel the responsibility falls on me [to make my costar comfortable], and I’ve been in that situation a couple times. Essentially it’s your job to just minimize the discomfort by, you know, making sure there’s nobody else on set than is required, having a closed set, periodically checking in, and just doing everything you can to assure the person you’re with that they’re okay.”
Chris Pratt further added that despite what it looks like on screen, the filming of the scene is not sexy at all and it is just awkward a lot of times but the actors just have to realize that it is all a part of their job.
