Jennifer Lawrence seems to be a person who can take any challenge, but this time might not be what she expected. During the press tour for No Hard Feelings, her latest raunchy comedy project, the Oscar winner “violently” threw up after the interview.
Lawrence was ready to join the popular online show called Hot Ones. This YouTube series invite celebrities to be interrogated while eating spicy chicken wings. The video already amassed more than six million views in just five days.
Jennifer Lawrence Takes On Hot Ones Challenge And Ends Up Making A Mess
During her interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence shared her traumatic experience while appearing in Hot Ones (via Variety):
“I passionately threw up after. Violently. I made it upstairs to my suite. My holding suite. We shot at the Four Seasons downstairs [during the ‘No Hard Feelings’ press junket]. My stomach gave me, like, eight minutes to get upstairs and then she… She…[vomited].”
Lawrence seemed to manage the hot sensation throughout the interview, but things took a different turn when she finally tried the Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce, which boasts a rating of 135,600 Scoville Heat Units. She gulped cold water and milk, complaining that nothing helps to alleviate the pain. The actress soon found herself sobbing while trying to answer the questions.
“Nothing helps! I’m drooling so much. Is my face okay? How do I look? I feel like I’m gonna die. Have you ever had anybody act like this?”
The 32-year-old actress once thought the show was a joke. After finally experiencing it, she remarked:
“At the beginning, I was like, ‘Is this show real?’ And I don’t think that anymore.”
The intense sensation brought out the candidness in Lawrence as she revealed her innermost thoughts and honest answers during the interview. In between the tears and snot, she managed to finish the show successfully, although it left her in a tormented state.
No Hard Feelings Receives Mixed Reviews For Being “Offensive”
Jennifer Lawrence plays a broke Uber driver who answered a Craigslist advertisement to seduce a geeky 19-year-old guy at the behest of his parents. The film earned mixed reviews for being “offensive”, to which Lawrence previously remarked (via Sky News):
“I think it’s time for just a good old-fashioned laugh, and it really is hard to make a comedy where you’re not offending people. Everybody in some sense will be offended by this film.”
Andrew Barth Feldman, who plays Percy, agreed with his co-star and defended the film, claiming it did a great job at pushing the limits while successfully keeping the essence of the story. “We need to be able to engage with being offended,” he asserted.
Because of the movie’s theme, No Hard Feelings has been rated 15 in the UK and R in the US and is now showing in theaters worldwide.
