She’s been especially covert on her developing romance with Darren Aronofsky.
So Jennifer Lawrence may have eased seamlessly into her sexy Russian spy role this week, as she was seen filming the first scenes of 2018 thriller Red Sparrow.
The 32-year-old arrived on the set after lunch in Slovakia looking like a natural beauty, but quickly transformed into Dominika Egorova with a striking blonde wig.

Jennifer plays a young intelligence officer, whose dreams of becoming a prima ballerina are shattered when she breaks her leg.
Dominika is recruited for a secretive Russian spy agency where she is assigned to seduce a first-tour CIA agent who handles the CIA’s most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence.
The Cold War thriller is charged by trade-craft, deception and inevitably forbidden passion with Joel Edgerton’s character Nathaniel Nash.

As filming commenced in Bratislava on Tuesday, actress Jennifer quickly shrugged off her lovable, girl-next-door demeanor.
She meant business in a long camel coat, worn with black shoes and her platinum, fringed wig.
The American Hustle star was captured between takes on a housing estate as she let her character slip to make conversation with her burly bodyguard.
Jennifer was also later seen zipped up and cosy in a black hoodie as she blended in with the camera crew.

A trailer for the forthcoming spy thriller was teased at ComicCon last month, by 20th Century Fox.
Jennifer is once again working with Francis Lawrence, who directed the Hunger Games franchise, in which Jennifer took the lead as Katniss Everdeen.
Off-screen, Jennifer has remained schtum about her tryst with film director Darren, who is known for projects including Black Swan and Requiem For A Dream.
Though rarely seen together in public, reports last month suggested that things were getting more serious between the 48-year-old and 26-year-old Jen.

The source continued: ‘Jen has been mesmerized by his talent and brains since she started working with him.’
They are very sweet together and seem happy,’ another source told the magazine. ‘They hold hands. They Keep to themselves and don’t seem to want a lot of attention.’
