Apparently, according to Liam Hemsworth, the actress often appeared on set, for kissing scenes, after eating smelly food like garlic and tuna. “She’s one of my best friends, I love her.

Although the actor initially hated kissing Lawrence while collaborating on the movie, he eventually matched her weirdness and played along. 

Right before the scene, she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I ate tuna’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’” Liam Hemsworth shared.
