Jennifer Lawrence says she won’t shy away from roles if they require her to disrobe, according to Entertainment Tonight.

Nearly four years after intimate pictures of the actress were stolen and posted online, Lawrence says that her latest role in “Red Sparrow” — in which she’s required to do one scene fully nude — is empowering and confidence-boosting.

“Doing Red Sparrow,” she told W Magazine, “felt like I was getting something back that had been taken from me.”

She also joked with ET that she got comfortable on-set while filming — maybe too comfortable.

“Everybody made me feel so comfortable that I probably at a certain point started making everybody else uncomfortable,” she said. “Because I’d be like, ‘I don’t want the robe. I’m hot. I’m eating.’ Everybody’s like, ‘She needs to cover up.’”
