Watch: Rita Ora Gives the Scoop on "Southpaw"

Jake Gyllenhaal is one big brick house in Southpaw, his upcoming drama about a boxer struggling with addiction.

The actor packed on 15 pounds of rock solid muscle for the role in the Antoine Fuqua-directed film.

"I have to say it's a pretty good body," Rita Ora, who plays an addict in the film, told me at the Weinstein Company's pre-Oscar party at the Montage in Beverly Hills. "I mean, Jake's got a pretty good body—that's all I'm saying on that before I get into trouble."

And before anyone tries to start any romance rumors between the two, Ora has been very happily dating Tommy Hilfiger's son, Richie Hilfiger. Not only was he at the Weinstein party, but he was Ora's Oscar date.

"It's all about the feeling and the connection and the energy," Ora said. "I'm learning a lot on these movie sets…I'm very honored to be a part of a piece of work that is truly something really real, a real-life interpretation of somebody."

Weinstein Company

If you didn't know, Ora has a bit part in Fifty Shades of Grey as Christian Grey's sister.

At the Heineken-sponsored Weinstein party, Ora performed Play from the upcoming Broadway musical Finding Neverland.

However, it doesn't sound like she's ready to hit the Great White Way anytime soon. "I went to theater school so for me, I was kind of surrounded by the loud kids who were always singing all sorts of Wicked songs, 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and all that," Ora said. "I personally was never that powerful…You have to be really powerful to sing musical theater. It's like being an opera singer…I was always the one who kind of was turning a musical theater song into a pop R&B song."

Finding Neverland, based on the 2004 movie of the same name starring Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, tells the story behind the creation of Peter Pan.

The Broadway show stars Glee's Matthew Morrison and Kelsey Grammer. It opens on April 15.

Morrison aslo performed at the Weinstein bash for an audience that included Oprah Winfrey, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jennifer Hudson, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Lopez, Marion Cotillard and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
