Actress Jennifer Lawrence says she was mortified when director Francis Lawrence urged her to keep the Russian accent she adopted for her role as ballerina-turned-spy in ‘Red Sparrow’ outside of filming because she knew her friends would not be impressed.
“For two weeks before the movie, Francis would say, ‘You should talk in the accent at home. Stay in the accent and talk to your friends in the accent’. I said, ‘Francis, I don’t have those kinds of friends. They would never call me again’,” Lawrence told a magazine.
According to reports, Lawrence spent several months working on the accent and though it was tough, it was an essential part of her preparations.
She said, “I had never done a foreign accent before so I spent four months before the movie figuring out what kind of dialect she would have.
