Jennifer Lopez says her nude scene with Jason Statham in ‘Parker’ was ‘awful’
During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Lopez spoke about her experience making the 2013 movie Parker with Jason Statham. The former American Idol judge told Kimmel she didn’t have to take off all her clothes, but she took off enough to make her feel uncomfortable.
“My heart was beating out of my chest,” said Lopez, per Daily Mail. “It was awful.”
Lopez said she was uncomfortable because of all the cameras and people who were around watching her scene. “You can hear a pin drop,” she continued. “And everybody knows [the scene is] coming. It was really nerve-wracking.”
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Statham said he was perfectly fine during the nude scene. “I was very comfortable, believe me,” joked Statham.
What Jason Statham thought about working with Jennifer Lopez
Statham told Young Hollywood he enjoyed working alongside Lopez. “It was a great couple of weeks that we had together,” said Statham.
He played the title character, Parker, and Lopez played Leslie Rodgers, whom she described as a real estate agent who was down on her luck.
Statham said he tried to ensure he had no expectations about what Lopez would be like. He wanted to meet her first and then form his opinion.
“I try not to come in with expectations on what someone is going to be like because she’s so famous,” continued Statham. “The idea is just to meet someone at face value and go from there. I think it’s always the most honest way.”
