Oscar winning actor Jennifer Lawrence has explained why she prefers filming intimate scenes with strangers, rather than friends or long-time colleagues.

During an appearance at 92NY, Lawrence, who recently starred alongside Robert Pattinson in Die, My Love (2025), explained, “It was actually easier that way because Rob and I did not know each other, which is kind of better. Like in Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson and I would have to kiss and that’s weirder. So, doing it with a stranger is preferable.”
