Is Jennifer Lawrence's fight scene in No Hard Feelings authentic?

Netflix fans were completely stunned by Jennifer Lawrence's intense action sequence in the film No Hard Feelings. Their curiosity has led them to question whether or not the scene was real. Well, fear not, as we finally have the answer. No Hard Feelings is a romantic comedy with an R-rating that revolves around Jennifer Lawrence portraying a woman in her thirties. In order to resolve her financial difficulties, she agrees to enter into a relationship with the socially uncomfortable 19-year-old son of a wealthy couple.

The movie didn't perform exceptionally well at the box office upon its initial release this year. However, it has experienced a resurgence on Netflix and has quickly climbed to the top position in the US film charts.

Apart from the significant age difference between the two characters, one particular scene has generated considerable buzz and speculation among viewers. Fans are now eager to determine whether the scene is authentic or if Lawrence employed a body double.

Is Jennifer Lawrence’s fight scene in No Hard Feelings real?

Indeed, the confrontation on the beach where Jennifer Lawrence's character Maddie engages in a physical altercation with a gang of youths while completely unclothed is indeed genuine. Naturally, it is crucial to note that the actual combat was not real, but it is worth mentioning that the actress herself did not employ the services of a body double.

The scene in question, which occurs approximately 36 minutes into the film, involves Maddie successfully persuading Percy (played by Andrew Barth Feldman) to engage in a spontaneous skinny dipping adventure in the ocean. However, their daring escapade takes an unexpected turn when a mischievous group of teenagers conspires to play a prank on them by snatching their attire.

Refusing to drive home without clothes, Maddie emerges from the ocean completely nude and successfully fights off all her opponents. This viral scene has sparked speculation online, with some doubting if Lawrence employed a stand-in.

Contrary to these doubts, Lawrence unequivocally dedicated herself to the scene, without any body double. In an interview with Variety in June, she expressed, "Everyone in my life and my team kept asking, 'Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?' But I had no doubt whatsoever. I found it hilarious."

Although she admitted that it took approximately a day to film, mentioning the presence of "a significant amount of rehearsal." This aspect adds to Lawrence's image as one of the most relaxed celebrities in Hollywood.
