Actress Jennifer Lawrence reveals ‘unauthorised crew members’ watched her unclad scenes while filming on set

 Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she challenged film bosses after discovering that unauthorised crew members had been allowed on set while she was filming an unclad scene.

The Oscar-winning actress, 36, said the incident prompted concerns about how younger, less established performers might be treated if they lacked the influence to object. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Lawrence said she had become increasingly aware of the responsibility attached to her position in Hollywood. “I speak up more because I’m also aware of the place that I have in the industry,” she said.

Recalling the incident, Lawrence said people who had not been approved to attend the filming were permitted onto the set. “I came down hard on it,” she said. The Hunger Games star explained that her reaction was motivated partly by concern about the precedent such behaviour could set for other actresses.
