The 36-year-old star has insisted being "malleable" is "part of the job", including her dramatic hairstyle change for Die My Love, but there comes a time when she is ready to put her foot down to protect herself and others in the film industry.
"There was an instance on set where crew members who were not approved when I was doing nudity were on set," she told the Call Her Daddy podcast.
"I came down hard on it, purely because if we are not setting that principle, then what on earth is going to happen to an 18-year-old unknown when she shows up and there's people on set who are not approved (to be there)?
"She's going to be in a position of: 'Do I say something and get a reputation for being difficult, or do I let these people that I'm not comfortable seeing me naked see me naked?'
"It was important to me to explain that to the people why that was not OK."
Lawrence previously explained that she wanted to give director Lynne Ramsay "total freedom artistically" for Die My Love.
"I don't care about nudity. I'm not sensitive about it," she told Vulture.
Lawrence noted that "being pregnant" with her second child during filming took a lot of her "vanity anxiety away".
"I remember them sending over a close-up of, like, cellulite being like, 'Do you want us to touch this up?' And I was like, "No. That's an ass.'"
Lawrence has revealed she has undergone a breast lift as she discussed her cosmetic procedures and beauty ambitions in a new cover interview with The Cut.
The Hunger Games star did not specify the procedure she had to The Cut, but the outlet noted she had undergone a "boob job" in their feature on the actor.
Lawrence admitted about her beauty goals: "I want to be a sexy mom."
