Jennifer Lawrence recently appeared on the YouTube show Hot Ones, where she was challenged to eat increasingly spicy chicken wings while answering questions about her career.
Lawrence was a good sport throughout the interview, even when the wings became too hot for her to handle. At one point, she began to sob in pain, but she quickly recovered and continued the interview. She also talked about her thoughts on method acting.
Jennifer Lawrence talks about acting and her love for hot sauce
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, and she has starred in several hit films that have been praised for their performances. However, Lawrence has also expressed her reservations about method acting. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said that she is “not a method actor” and that she prefers to “stay in character” while filming. She said that she has changed her perception of method acting since working with Christian Bale on the film American Hustle. Bale is a well-known method actor, and Lawrence said that she was impressed by his ability to “get into character” and then “snap out of it” when the cameras were not rolling.
Lawrence said that she now believes that there is “a middle ground” between being a method actor and not being a method actor. She said that she still prefers to stay in character while filming, but that she does not believe that she has to be in character all the time. She said that she would be “nervous” to work with a method actor because she would not know how to talk to them.
Lawrence said,
“I would be nervous to work with somebody who is Method, I would have no idea how to talk to them. Do I have to be in character? That would make me nervous. I haven’t seen another [acting] process that I’ve been curious about. You don’t know about them all the time.”
“I had always been very on-off, on-off until I did ‘American Hustle’ and worked with Christian Bale,” Lawrence said. “I noticed when the camera started rolling and the crew started preparing, like 10 seconds to action, he would start getting ready. I saw that and thought, ‘That seems like a really good idea.’ So I started doing that.”
She also talked about her upcoming film
In addition to her comments about method acting, Lawrence also discussed her upcoming film, No Hard Feelings. The film is a romantic comedy about two friends who start a business together. Lawrence said that she was drawn to the film because of its “funny and heartwarming” script. She also praised her co-star, saying that he is “one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with.”
The movie has also faced some backlash after the trailer dropped, due to the age gap between her and her co-star, Andrew Barth Feldman; as the movie offers a comedic take on an older woman trying to seduce a young boy because his parents hired her to do so.
No Hard Feelings is in theaters on June 23.
