Jennifer Lawrence nude scenes in her new movie Red Sparrow made her more secure when her personal nudes got leaked.

At the Red Sparrow premiere, Lawrence admitted that the challenging role helped her overcome insecurities, which included those that came from her 2014 photo hack. “The insecurity and fear of being judged for getting nude, what I went through, should that dictate decisions I make for the rest of my life? This movie changed that and I didn’t even realize how important changing that mentality was until it was done,” she said at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall.
