News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays, having an intimacy coordinator on film sets has become a common thing in Hollywood. These professionals ensure that while filming romantic or intimate scenes between two actors, both of them feel comfortable and there is no scope for any kind of discomfort or exploitation. But Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence believes that she did not feel the need for it while working with ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson.
Recently, during an interview, Jennifer talked openly about this and told why she was so comfortable doing intimate scenes with Robert. This incident happened after their film ‘Don’t Look Up’, when both were going to work together on another project.
“I had no fear working with Robert.”
When Jennifer Lawrence was asked whether she felt the need for an intimacy coordinator to film a romantic scene with Robert Pattinson, she replied laughing. She said, “No, I don’t think so. When it comes to Robert, I feel like, ‘He’s not a jerk’, so I didn’t feel the need for a coordinator. He’s a complete professional.”
Jennifer further said that she is a big fan of Robert and considers him a very good person. She said, “I can work with him anytime. He is a very polite and nice person.”
What is the job of an intimacy coordinator?
After the ‘#MeToo’ movement, the role of intimacy coordinator has become very important in Hollywood. They act as a bridge between the actor and the director on the set. They ensure that for any romantic scene the actor has consent, is comfortable doing the scene and that their boundaries are respected. Many big actors now refuse to do such scenes without an intimacy coordinator.
This statement by Jennifer Lawrence shows Robert Pattinson’s professional attitude and her confidence in his character. This shows that when there is mutual respect and trust between two actors, they can easily film even the scenes considered difficult. However, she also clarified that she is not against the concept of intimacy coordinator, but she does not feel the need for one while working with some co-stars.
