Jennifer Lawrence's friends would never speak to her again if she adopted a method acting approach.
The 27-year-old actress 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 pals wouldn't be impressed.
She said: "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.' "
Jennifer spent several months working on the accent and though it was tough, it was an essential part of her preparations.
