Jennifer Lawrence exploded onto the scene 15 years ago with an Oscar nomination for WINTER'S BONE. An Oscar win for SILVER'S LINING PLAYBOOK and an iconic role in THE HUNGER GAMES soon came after and there's been no looking back since. She joins Josh to reflect on it all and talk about her acclaimed new film DIE MY LOVE, now available on MUBI. Recorded at the 92nd Street Y. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #jenniferlawrence
How do you silence the part of your brain that says what I'm doing is really embarrassing and silly on set?
I can't believe you just said that because that is something that I've had to get over for years.
I think acting is very embarrassing and that's why I don't
like rehearse and stuff because I'm afraid the camera guys are gonna be like nerd. Could you believe that?
Yeah, and now you just put it back in my head.
This is like when a friend visited me one time and she was like I like finished doing a take and she was like
How do you know what to do with your hands? And I was like
Prepare your ears humans happy sad confused begins now

I certainly spent a lot of time interviewing Jennifer Lawrence over the years, but we never had this kind of deep dive conversation
She is one of a kind as an actor
But also just as a person to talk to if you've seen her on talk shows, etc
You know how lively and fun and spontaneous and irreverent she can be and she is all of those things in this conversation
I couldn't be more pleased with it. I know you guys are gonna take it her new film. I should say
An extraordinary piece of work. This comes from the great director Lynn Ramsey. It is
Jennifer it is Robert Pattinson
This is the portrait of a couple coming undone in the wake of having a child. It is
It features remarkable performances
But truly led by by Jennifer at the forefront as a woman really just coming undone falling apart
and she
Gives everything of herself as a performer and it is all up there on the screen and it really is one of her best
Performances and that's saying a lot for a four-time Oscar nominee. So check out die my love. It's on movie right now

Thank you for coming out tonight. Um, I am so thrilled you're with us because this is a very special night
We have the one and only Jennifer Lawrence here, you know that right? Okay
Just checking. Um, I've been privileged enough to chat with Jennifer Lawrence a lot over the years
But she's never done the podcast before so we figured we'd have this conversation in front of 600 of our closest friends
So thank you for being here again. I don't really need to give much of an introduction to Jennifer Lawrence
Obviously, I think it was exactly 15 years ago where she received her first Oscar nomination for winter's bone
And I think I speak for all of us when we saw that film we saw that performance
We we literally saw a star being born on screen and since then whether it's the Hunger Games films
Causeway
So much. I mean don't look don't look up so many amazing performances
She can truly truly do it all and now with this collaboration with the great Robert Pattinson the great filmmaker Lynn Ramsey
She's getting some of the best reviews of her career time
My love is an exceptional piece of work and we are so thrilled
It has brought her to the 92nd Street Y for the very first time tonight
So without any further ado give it up for Jennifer Lawrence everybody. Here she is
We already got the awkward non hug out of the way. Yeah, I you've been interviewing me for like 30 years
I know you were you were minus three. So I'm like, is it a hug or is it I guess it's just like a
Sup, yeah
Sup, Jennifer. Sup, Josh
Congratulations on this film. Thank you. You killed it. Um
First of all, do you get nervous about these kinds of things at this point in your career?
You've been on the Oscar stage many times. You've done all the award shows the talk shows
Does this kind of thing freak you out or no? Um, I'm I'm really tired which is helping
but I
Know I do have a I hate speaking in front of people. Oh gosh, it really gets gets my ticker going. Here we go
Well, this hopefully will put you at ease
Kim Caramelli sent in a question for you. Oh my god
Yes, Kim is a very close friend of Jennifer's and one of my best friends in the world
She's Amy Schumer's little sister and an amazing writer. I think you guys are cooking up something. Perhaps you're working on some stuff
She would like to know which of your children is your favorite
God
You can think about it through the hour and get yeah, I will I'll tell them when they're 18
Have you thought about at what age you will show die my love to your children?
No, I all my all my friends are all all actors that are parents
They all say that their kids like don't right. They never see your movie, right? You're like, yeah
They're gonna be the only non Hunger Games children
So, are you I'm curious actually what you were exposed to as a kid growing up in terms of film like were you
Were you watching like r-rated films or were your parents strict about that kind of a thing? I was a third kid
I was a mistake. So I they didn't pay attention to what I was watching at all
I mean, I I was in I was born in the 90s. So John Hughes was a huge
Guy
And yeah, I've always liked scary movies I was super into nip-tuck
Yeah, I was like it was yeah are and John Hughes were there were there films that you feel like you saw way too early
That made an imprint on you for good or for bad
I think nip-tuck should not be watched by an 11 year old and that was just on normal TV
It wasn't even like on HBO or anything, right?
So it was like I had the DVDs and I yeah
I I watched it on DVD and I remember like a girl is naked and has a saddle on her back
and I was like, huh, I
Didn't know that that was how sex is me
You tack her up. Yeah
Now, you know, that's the only way sex is made. Yeah
Yeah, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna see John Schaefer at this party, but I don't have my saddle
There's no good segue, but let's do it. I am I love here we go
It's like I'm go between being nervous and being too comfortable
Perfect. I'm gonna try to strike the right balance. We got this. We got the meds are gonna kick in any minute now
Did you take propanolol? I took it all I took everything backstage. I could find. Oh, no. No nice of you to offer me
Okay, so this film
Begins in some ways with a phrase. I never thought I would utter
Martin Scorsese's book club. Mm-hmm. Did you guys know Martin Scorsese as part of a book club? He has a book club. Mm-hmm
Tell me more. What do I need to know? Um, well, I did end up asking him who's in the book club and
So
Someone named Fran
anyway, he emailed me and
Said I guess he like set up a zoom and and so I got on the zoom obviously, you know, it was like and
He said that he had read this book and his book club and he thought that it would be a great movie
That I should be in it
And so I read it immediately my son. My firstborn was six weeks old
So I was in postpartum. I wasn't having like a terrible time, but
And I and I read it and then I didn't quite if you've read the book it's not clear
How it would be a movie because it's all kind of internal dialogue and it's changing landscapes a lot. It's not very linear
So I was kind of like what is he talking about?
But I didn't want to go back and say that so I sat with it for a while and then you know
I it was just like it's poetry. And so
The the only filmmaker, I mean the director that I think up when I think poetry is Lynne Ramsey
She's just I've been a huge fan of her work for such a long time. And that's
That's her wheelhouse. So we went out to her and she hadn't made a movie in like eight years
And and she and she said yes
I like that in some ways this began is just not wanting to disappoint Martin Scorsese
Like I had now I have to make the film I have to figure out
Yeah, cuz I can't call back and be like, I don't get it. I don't yeah, maybe you should try someone else
Yeah, do you have any other ideas?
Talk to me a little bit about I mean
Are you the kind of actor that keeps like a secret or not?
So secret list of filmmakers that you want to work with? Yeah for sure. She was on that list for a while
Yeah, big-time and are you chasing like a certain kind of experience? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Let's go down
No, I can't Lou
Christopher Nolan
PTA have you had you've must have had the Nolan meeting the PTA meeting those things
rude
Wow
Tarantino's been chasing you he wants you. Um, I don't know about that. That's true
No, he said that hatefully the Jennifer Jason Lee part was originally written for you. I believe it down
Which I should not have done
And I think once upon a time in Hollywood too didn't he want you
well
He did and then everybody was like she's not pretty enough to play Sharon Tate and then they didn't I know
And then
I'm pretty sure it is true or it's that thing where I've been telling this story this way for so long
But I believe it no
but I I'm pretty sure that happened or
He just never was considering me for the part and the internet just like went out of their way to call me ugly
The internet I know the internet it would never do that. No
They should rename the internet just
So the Lynn Ramsey experience now that you've had it, yeah, how would you define it?
What does she what does she do on set that elicits what we what we've seen in all her work including this one?
I mean, you know, it's not like that. It's it's not really, you know, it's not like it's this big
show I she she really kind of slowly builds the world and
You know for years like sending scenes and us talking about the character and this kind of like in the music
She plays music on set which is I've never had a director do that
And then she kind of steps back and she's really not she's it's not like an over
Manager at all. It's more about just setting the mood. Yeah, the actors. Yeah, and then I think in editing
I think that's probably where she
Really comes alive, right?
for you
In addition to Lynn it's also about obviously the cast and as I understand you basically got all your first choices in this
I love what what Rob Pattinson has done with his career having
Covered him right from the beginning in Twilight and to see what he did post Twilight and where he's at now is just remarkable
Yeah, um really cool choices. Totally. I mean from the beginning right after he was doing Cronenberg work, right?
Yeah with all the great filmmakers
Yeah
So talk to me like what did you did you know Rob at all because famously you you've said before you auditioned for Twilight
But I assume that wasn't with Rob in the room or was it it was not
Yeah, I auditioned and and didn't get that because I guess I was too ugly no
Making that the that's what you said. Oh, that's I sweetie pies said that
And so I didn't know Rob, I mean I've like met him just from you know, like hi, how are you?
but but I didn't know him, but I love him as an actor and
Have been wanting to work with him. And
Yeah, I think he makes really cool choices and and just has a very cool
career and
He said yes, and he was just he he he brought so much, you know
he like in the book and kind of in the script that the husband was just so
Pathetic that there was like she just bowled over him and it wasn't really interesting
he really like kind of added this spine to his character and would push back which was great for my
Performance gave me something to push back against but also you could see
Why they were together? Yeah, do you approach the actual work in the same way?
Do you need to approach work in a similar way to your co-star on screen? Do you find that helpful or necessary or no?
I don't normally
Yeah, no, I don't normally share
Process whatever process. Yeah, and I mean
Rob was like had to like cry and I kept I kept being like, oh my god
Do you remember and I kept saying like it was like I was sabotaging him on set like right before and I kept being like stop
doing that
But no, I don't know. Well you you do famous really bad memorization skill. So he has to prepare
And you on the flip side
so this is famously for those who don't know your process is very
Unique and I've talked to like Francis Lawrence about this and many people that have worked with you
It works for you not to have the lines drilled in until yeah, this is just like something
I've I've like a lie. I've been developing for a long time, which is just like it's my process
That's a nice way to play. Yeah, it's it's it's just
not
being prepared
I mean the proofs in the pudding it works for you clearly so I can memorize quite fast
And so I it's not necessary for me to like, you know
No, my lines like, you know, like a week before has it ever bit you in the ass where it's like a yes
Yes, silver linings. Oh, yeah. I know what you're gonna say. Yeah, it's the
Recitation of all the stats, right? Yeah
Stats because normally you're following a train of thought right but in silver linings
I had this long line that was like, you know
sports teams and ten to two and like numbers and
I just didn't look at the call sheet for the next day
Didn't know that we were shooting that scene and then that day comes up. It's with Robert De Niro
which is like
You know, what a little ---- like oh, I'm gonna take time out of Robert De Niro's day
So I memorized it and I I did it on the first take perfectly and then fucked up every other take after that
He's worked with you since he obviously forgave and you know what I
Got away with it. And that's why I continue this process
I mean, it really taught me that I can get away with a lot more than I thought
Yeah, you got an Oscar for that. So we get worked. Yeah
I mean you also like and you kind of alluded to this with Rob as you can switch on and off very
Quickly as I as I understand it on set. Yeah, I have to my attention span
But I'm at the whim of it
Does that always does that ever?
Freak out an actor you're working with. I mean, yeah, a lot of people don't like that
or like they are
focused and don't wish to
Hang yeah
Yeah, or like afterwards they're kind of coming out of this
state and
I'm you know down to hang again
So I work on it, but I read I bring my Kindle and so when I'm working with those kind of people I just kind of
I
Read, right? I'm like
Unless you're mocking the co-star about yeah, it's a cry
Well, it was like there was something that had happened. I don't know. It was one of the it was church giggles
you know, he was like crying because his dad and the movie had died and
And it was really serious and I just kept thinking of this really funny thing
And I couldn't not share
You know
Is this as you approach like the first day of work on something like this? Do you get nervous?
Do you get like imposter syndrome as yeah every time I work like I'm working in February
And I'm I'm just I'm more familiar with the feeling but it's
Every time before I do a movie, I believe that I cannot do this one
Like I've been able to do those other movies
But I don't know how I'm gonna do this and I'm not gonna be able to do it
And it's just that's just my anxiety
No, I
Guess the good thing this one is day one. You literally dove right in
What did you shoot on day one of this the the naked?
sex kind of tiger
Tiger stuff. So you're committed. You're all in. Yeah, there's no going back. Yeah
But it was actually easier that way because Rob and I did not know each other which is kind of
Better, you know like in Hunger Games like me and Josh Hutcherson would have to like kiss and that's like imagine, you know
Imagine it. Okay a second
Weirder and so yeah, I was doing it with a strangers
There's your PSA of the night, um, I
Asked Harrison Ford this once like how do you silence the part of your brain drop? Well
It's my job
Like how do you silence the part of your brain that says what I'm doing is really embarrassing. Oh, it's silly on set
How do you believe you just said that because that is something that I've had to get over for years
I think acting is very embarrassing and that's why I don't
Like rehearse and stuff because I'm afraid the camera guys are gonna be like nerd. Could you believe that?
Yeah, and now you just put it back in my this is like when a friend visited me one time and she was like
I like finished doing a take and she was like, how do you know what to do with your hands? Right? And I was like
****
The Talladega Knights thing, yeah, that's the whole yeah, that's right. Yeah
Yeah, so how do you silence that part of your brain when you're on set and you have to like
There's a lot of like stuff in this film that I would imagine in other contexts. You would feel totally embarrassed to do
What you're kind of being rude
Like what is so embarrassing I mean like you're in front of strangers you're naked you're crawling around you're like, yeah
Oh god. Yeah, the tiger thing. That wasn't embarrassing. Well Lynn had us do
Interpretive dance lessons together
Before we started shooting we got to Calgary like three weeks before we started shooting Rob and I both embarrassed very easily
And that was mortifying. It was I mean, I'm not like a dance good dancer Rob's a worse dancer and
And it was like, you know, like now blow like a tree and now
Like it was just so embarrassing
And so I think by the time she was like, yeah get naked we were just kind of like
Okay, I don't at least it's not interpretive dance
Truly like it was a choreographed dance that we had both learned, you know
Does this Rob hate dancing more than you hate singing? I bet it's I bet it's equal
Yeah, you do you sing a bit in this in this film. I can't get away from it
I know it's what I'm saying. Yeah, the world wants you to sing
No, they don't
Have you ever auditioned for a musical have you ever
You would never
I'm not like lying about it that I hate there's auto-tune. They can do wonders in post. Yeah, they they can they did
So what does that say on the page like what's what's not in the script for that it was actually we were flipping burgers and
I
Like he was like grilling or something and I think actually I proposed to him and then we were
You know, I don't know
not shooting yet and
Lynn had like looked out at the field and looked at the light and the light was really beautiful and she was like
Crawl in the grass. I mean it was incredible. She was very
Free like that, this is like Terrence Malick territory. That's totally right. Let's chase that butterfly for a few hours
Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, was there was there a Kardashian tent on this one or something comparable?
No, I didn't have a Kardashian tent on this one
Was that just on mother famously Jennifer had a Kardashian tent where she went to kind of like decompress
Yeah, I had my like baby died in that movie and I had never done something that like dark like had
to
imagine feeling something that
Dark, so I had this
Ten, I mean I would have a tent anyway because there was like hundreds of extras or whatever
so just like in between for me to like go sit and like eat and peace whatever but I
Had Kardashians playing on the laptop and like gumballs and it just kind of turned into
Like a happy place. What would be in your your happy place? We'll be playing now. Are you?
Watching heated rivalry yet. Everyone's talking about it. What are you watching? What you know about this heated rival? Oh heat of rivalry
I thought you said diarrhea
Are you watching the diarrhea show? I'm behind on heated rivalry, but probably mom's secret lives of Mormon tiktokers
Okay, I think that's just like
creme de la creme
Perfection and the way it ended
Really good. Yeah, it would probably be that I don't have as much time
Family
Do you you're so self-deprecating to an insane degree about all of your work
Are you able to look at this and take some pride? Like I mean, how are you watching yourself watching this film watching this performance?
Can you take a moment to be like, this is new territory. This is
Yeah, I'm if I'm not like go like cringing then that like that means a plus that means like she approves
You know, and I don't I don't I don't cringe. I'm like
What percentage of your films would you be able to sit down and watch?
Like Tom Hanks famously said like I've made four good movies in my career and the world was like for no
The Duchess of Dorchester
So many great films not for
Pieces of this one. I don't know. Okay. I don't know silver linings certainly
In this
Okay, can we yeah answer that? I don't know. I mean, whatever
I'm just not thinking of the others. That's so rude to everybody else. I've ever every movie I've worked on
I love yeah, there it is
rewrites
like can we reminisce for a second because we first did get to know each other when
It was all happening at the beginning and it was such an insane. It must have been such an insane time for you
I think I met you
Before you shot Hunger Games. It was probably in that period right around it was for silver linings, right?
Well, probably even before then I remember the first time I remember meeting
It was for the MTV Movie Awards like we did a silly bit where you were training me to be a red carpet host
Thank you for that Wow, I know and you would you had shot x-men, but you hadn't shot. Okay Hunger Games
Yeah, just to orient you but my question is
You you knew you were very aware when you signed on for Hunger Games that your your life was going to change
And in fact, you took a minute. Mm-hmm, right?
You took a few days to decide like did you come up with like a list of pros and cons?
Like how close did you come to not?
accepting that role at the time
I don't know. I mean I didn't I didn't make like a list a
Physical one, but yeah in my mind because I had reached this point in my career. That was like really lovely
It was like I was doing Indies, which was what I wanted to do
And I had just finished doing a sitcom where I had a steady paycheck and I
You know got this it was basically like I could act but I wasn't like very very famous
Normal, I could have a normal life and like my I've just always wanted to be a mom
that's just ever since I was little I just always wanted to be a mom and so
that was kind of always what I was going towards and like manifesting if you will and so when I
This just getting off at the Hunger Games
It just it it just looked so different than the original future that I had pictured for myself
right, which was like
you know a soccer mom and like the in and I in twilight was happening and you could see
How intense it was it was like helicopters going over?
It was just it was so different that you know as much as I wanted to do it and I'm you know
And and yeah, I really wanted to do it, but I wanted to be very
thoughtful and make sure that I had really taken the time to consider before I make this huge
Change to my life and it was I'm really happy that I did
I mean, I'm so happy I did it and I have no regrets at all
But I mean I got famous just from signing on to those movies
Like I would get recognized as the girl who is going to play Katniss
About a year or so ago. I caught up with Josh Hutcherson on the stage. Actually. It was great to catch up with him a gem
I can't believe it's been 10 years since you guys I cannot believe it. It time has no meaning
Yeah, since Mockingjay part 2 when I spoke to you guys back then you were like Joshua first gonna be strong
It's never gonna die. It died. It might be in a coma. What's going on? What happened? I
Don't know. I mean I have you guys ever work together
Did you have you ever discussed anything or no, it's I mean, obviously I'm sure are in touch
Yeah, no, we're in touch. I don't think we've ever
Maybe a couple things we've like passed back and forth like would you want to do this?
Would you want to do this? But there hasn't really been like a role. I think it would be in I don't know
I mean it should happen. Yeah, I think some people would be interested in that potentially potentially
Around that time I guess that was probably the last period of time when you were
Auditioning for a film. Thankfully, you probably haven't had to audition for quite a while
Were you a good auditioner back in the day? Did you I was not no
I
Didn't I didn't do like classes or lessons. So when I started auditioning I was just you know
learning
Myself and and teaching myself with no real feedback
So like I remember one of my first auditions I was going like this
Which I thought was like brilliant because it's so realistic right and they were like they were like cut cut
What are you doing? And I was like, well the scene is outside
So I'm shielding
You see I read that part
and
They were like move your hand away from your face. So stuff like that, right? Yeah
No, I wasn't a good auditioner, but then every once in a while, you know
You get a call back or something and then you get something true that you and your buddy. I'm a stone
We're going up for a lot of oh, yeah
everything everything and we and we're on a group chat and she got nominated for a SAG today and I
did not and
And I wrote like what
And all of our friends were like congratulations Emma and then I would just do like a sad face emoji
I'm right here. Shut up. Yeah, and then every time she's tried to like talk today. I've just been like
Why are you talking and not saying sorry?
If you can talk, why are you not saying sorry?
But yeah, no, she's been beating me
for
for decades and it's an honor
Was one of them. Did you did you go up for Gwen Stacy and spider-man? Did you audition for that one? No
They probably didn't even like let me audition
No, the one that I wanted that she that she got was easy a I was nuts for easy a and I really I know
Should have gotten it right. That was what that the movie could have turned out real it would have been great
Who's a bigger housewives fan you or me
Me she's recently come on to it. It's nice because now I can like talk to her about it, right?
But she doesn't follow nearly as many franchises as I do
But what about this she just talked about this that came out
I think today that she like went to the courthouse when Jen Shaw was being yeah, she did that's commitment
Would you do that for a real housewife? Would you go to a courthouse and I wouldn't but she's weird
Yeah, I wouldn't but I don't you know, she she I won't tell you where she lives but
It was closer for her than it is for me
It just occurs to me like I don't know how any of you guys stay sane given the amount of attention and everything you guys
Go through. I mean
Leonardo has famously said like the two rules or supposedly said this to shallow May were
No hard drugs and no superheroes in managing a career. What would be Jennifer Lawrence's to?
Two rules for a young actor coming
And it worked out really gonna have to think of some
To
Nudes did that to
I don't know do whatever you want. Um, you've been very frank and talked over the years about like how I mean
You know how the nature of the media and the Internet what do we call the Internet again?
The little sweetie those sweetie pies how the sweetie pies like to build you up and then tear you down
And it happens with everybody or happens with everybody that in your profession. It seems. Um, what was like the apex moment?
Where you were like, oh my god, I'm like, I'm too high. This is too. Oh too much
Yeah, like when I was winning for silver linings and kind of that period because silver linings in Hunger Games
I think they came out like in the same year. Yeah, and there was one of the award
shows
Where I had won
like something for the Hunger Games for like best upcoming star or something and then was like backstage and then one
Perform this sounds so
Like trying to be like demure and I make and then I won again
For like for something for silver linings and then I was like backstage and then silver linings won
For picture and it was just like I mean, thank God my parents were there because it was just you know
I remember my daddy said if I was a bubble you could pop me
But anyway around that time was when I was like this is gonna get bad
Well, I can't even imagine also the surreality of like you're sitting at home
I don't know what the context was when you saw like
Ariana Grande doing you on SNL you're like, yeah
I'm now at that stage where I am. Someone is going to spoof me on. Yeah, so on late-night TV
Yeah, no, it got to it's like a balloon that just keeps getting like to do do do do and then you know inevitably
Do you feel more in control of?
No, I mean you don't
No, I feel more in control of like what I can say. Yes and no

I mean, yeah, it's a lot but that's exciting. Yeah, just so embarrassing if it doesn't go well like
You got this we have a couple movie comes out and like people don't like it
But like I just acted in it, you know, it's like not but like if I directed it and it doesn't do

They didn't see that coming. Oh
She's always surprising and every yeah, and we're gonna end with this this is the happy sag-confused profoundly random questionnaire
Are you a dog or a cat person? I'm really uncomfortable answering this question
Isn't it dogs? You have a dog
Not anymore. Oh my god. No, I'm sorry. Oh, no
She's with my parents I
You know, never mind I take back my sympathy you got rid of your dog I
Soon as I got a boyfriend. I was like, whoa
Well, she did not like New York and I lived on 1st and 67th just to be near the park like for her right
anyway after I had a kid I
I dogs became so scary, you know, like if my dog my son's like going up to it
You know and I'm like and like it's almost like I don't recognize dogs right now. Like I just see them as a threat
and
one of them bit
My son and that made me just want to obliterate every dog
That's ever I'm just like I'm gonna take out you and your whole ******* family and your ******* friends
I'm gonna go to China and take care of your friends over there like anybody that looks like you is dead
And so I'm gonna say
And I like I have a cat and I feel like they're so misunderstood with like they are assholes and
People who don't like that about cats aren't getting that that is what is so funny
you know like he like comes into the room like when my husband and I are watching TV and he always makes it look like a
Coincidence like oh, I didn't know you guys were here
You guys still live here too. Cool. Yes, I'll stay
Your next project the dog assassin Jennifer Laura's just mowing them down
I know and you just can't say that publicly, but you just did I just did. Yeah
What do you collect?
The tiny little wrenches that come with like
In case yeah, yeah tiny little wrenches

Would you rather have a mouthful of bees or one bee in your butt?
One bee in my butt. Yeah, we got to the butt questions. Yeah after all we got there
What's the wallpaper on your phone?
My one of my sons
Well, it's both one is one is lock screen one is one to open up. Yeah, who's the last actor you were mistaken for
Never happened
What I
Don't I don't recall that happening. What's there's only one Jennifer Lawrence guys. Come on. Thank you
I mean, they just think I'm like her mom or something, but
Like I love your daughter's work
You're turning off that microphone in a second, what's the what's the worst note a director has ever given you
What don't you respond well to is there a general note or
I didn't respond
well
I was doing something like very subtle once and then the director saw that I was doing it and then asked me to like
Like I was basically like leaning kind of towards this person and he was like, that's great
Now reach out and like put he basically just wanted to like explore the subtle
Thing and that just made me want to just kill his dog
And in the spirit of happy second fuse who's an actor who always makes you happy you see them on screen Steve Martin
Look the jerk. Where do you go? What's the Steve Martin?
Well, there was a DVD that we had at our house
I mean all of them like planes trains and automobiles
Obviously in the jerk, but it was called bringing down the house and it was with Queen Latifah. Sure
yeah, I had that DVD and I
Which I wasn't you're literally the only person that thought that just for
Moving on movie that makes you sad
Movie that makes me sad. I mean driving this Daisy makes me sad. Oh god
Not Marley of me. You don't care about that. You're fine with that terms of it. That's one of mine terms of endearment
My god screaming give her the medication
What and finally a food that makes you confused you don't get it why do people eat that Jennifer
A food
That confuses me
You know what? I'm not a big fan of like big thick meat like
really
Like I mean, I'll eat I like a steak fine, but like a filet mignon. That's so yeah, you don't like the height
You don't like the whole I need the seasoning to be almost equal parts to the middle and when it's so thick right
You know, like I'm not a lion. I'm not here right taste them
I want the seasoning right? Like I don't like I don't love the way that the French do their steaks. Yeah, I don't
You've lost I'm losing I was gonna say you've lost the dog community like so I know French
The entire French, you know who doesn't say things like this Emma Stone. She would know she really really wouldn't
So, yeah, I think big thick meats, yeah, I think that's the best phrase to end tonight on don't you
In all seriousness to bring it back full circle
I
Think we talked about the I my love for a portion of this and we should have because it's a fantastic piece of work
Truly if you guys have not checked it out, please do spread the good word
It's a remarkable performance by one of our best. I'll give it up for the one and only Jennifer Lawrence. Thank you
