Jennifer Lawrence has established her legacy with several outstanding performances in movies across genres. She has been one of the most sought-after actors of the generation. However, she did not always enjoy the movies she appeared in, at least some of them anyway.
Lawrence shared her utter disappointment appearing in Adam McKay’s Netflix apocalyptic political satire black comedy, Don’t Look Up. The 2021 movie has a stellar cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, and Jonah Hill. However, two actors in the mix drove her nuts.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet Drove Jennifer Lawrence Insane
Jennifer Lawrence was closer to “hell” when she hopped on the car with Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet for a scene in Don’t Look Up. For the actor, it was absolutely insane. “It was the most annoying day in my life,” Lawrence said appearing on an episode of Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“They drove me crazy that day. I don’t know what it was. Timothy was just excited to be out of the house. I think it was, like, his first scene. and Leo picked the song that was playing in the car and was just, like, you know, this song was about, you know, blah, blah, blah.”
Stephen Colbert then asked if being with those two actors was awful, “It was hell,” Lawrence admitted. Speaking of Chalamet, the 33-year-old said that she was excited to work with him. “Timothy, I was so excited. he’s such a talented actor. But in a two-shot, I’m, like, I’m 31, I mean, I wasn’t this fat, but I’m fatter than Timotheée Chalamet,” she added. That was definitely harrowing for the actor.
Jennifer Lawrence Had a Hard Time Working With Jonah Hill
Lawrence, one of the two leads in the movie dominated most of the screen time with DiCaprio but the movie has an astounding list of stars even in minor roles. Among them, Jonah Hill was the hardest person to work with, Lawrence candidly admitted while speaking with Vanity Fair.
“He is um the worst. It was really really hard filming with Jonah and just not ruining take after take laughing. We one time dedicated an entire day to him just improving insults at me. It was amazing, he and Meryl are the only ones who like really should do that kind of improv but um, yeah, I mean he’s just, he’s a master. He’s a comedic master, so,” Lawrence said.
However, she admitted, “Uh but no I mean we all did like some stuff not as well as Jonah.” Fortunately, there is no bad blood between the actors, it was just the workspace fun Hill was pretty keen on upholding for a good laugh.
