Guess Who's Jennifer Lawrence's Dance Double in Red Sparrow?

January 18, 2017

If you’re a devoted Jennifer Lawrence fan—and if you’re not, really, we’re not friends—you’ve probably noticed that J. Law has been in Budapest recently, filming her new ballet spy movie Red Sparrow. If you’re also a devoted Isabella Boylston fan—and if you’re not already, you need to be—you’ve probably noticed that the American Ballet Theatre principal has also been hanging out in Budapest for the past few days. And she posted an Insta shot of her partnering with ballet bad boy Sergei Polunin, one of Lawrence’s Red Sparrow co-stars.

Surprisingly difficult to get a good picture with Sergei 😂

Sooooo what does that all mean? It means that, as IMDB confirms, Boylston is Lawrence’s dance double for the film. Which is, obviously, FABULOUS news. With Polunin and Boylston on board, it’s pretty much inevitable that Red Sparrow will include some spectacular dancing.

Here’s another tantalizing tidbit: Last week, one Mr. Justin Peck posted some gorg shots of— yup—Budapest. Sure, it could just be a coincidence. But Sergei Polunin and Isabella Boylston doing Justin Peck choreo in a major motion picture? YES. YES PLEASE.
