If honesty was a person, it would be Jennifer Lawrence. The actress does not believe in censoring herself to fit into any kind of Hollywood standards. If there is something that needs to be spoken out, Jennifer Lawrence will speak it out loud. Well, if there is one thing we love more than her skills is her absolutely unapologetic personality.
Time and again, Jennifer Lawrence has proved through her interviews why she is one of the most entertaining celebrities in the industry. From watching her hilariously eat hot sauce on chicken wings to pranking her own pranksters, the actress has had some unforgettable interview moments in her career. One such moment is when she revealed how awkward it was to watch her film, Mother!, with her family.
Jennifer Lawrence Recalls an Awkward Moment with Her Dad
Back in 2017, Jennifer Lawrence was seen playing ‘Mother’ in Darren Aronofsky’s psychological horror, of the same name. With a 69% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film received generally positive reviews from critics who were a fan of the unsettling film.
However, what was more unsettling for Lawrence than the film was probably what happened during its premiere. During her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the actress, and the host can be seen with a glass of red wine in their hands as they discuss the premiere of Mother! Lawrence revealed that her entire family joined her for the film’s premiere, which turned out to be a questionable choice.
She recalled how she was not wearing a bra for most of the film, which caused the outline of her n**ples to be visible on camera. Lawrence continued that her father would audibly gasp every time a shot included the outline of her n**ples.
“ It was an odd choice to have my entire family for this particular movie. It was a weird choice…I warned them and anytime -I wasn’t really wearing a bra a lot ‘cause, you know, I’m like Mother Earth, and my dad was sitting next to me, and every time there would be a shot my father would go [gasp!].”
When asked by Seth Meyers what the scariest part of the horror film for Lawrence’s family, the actress quipped, “The outline of my n**ple.” We cannot begin to imagine how awkward it must have been for her!
Jennifer Lawrence Lost Herself in Mother!
According to Deadline, Lawrence stated how she would never completely lose herself to a film until she played the lead role in Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! She said,
“I never lose myself in a movie. This is the only time I’ve lost myself. I couldn’t tell my body that none of it was real. I kept on hyperventilating.”
Despite this, the Passengers actress revealed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she never really understood the film entirely. Cohen asked, “On a scale of one to totally confused, how much did you understand your film, ‘Mother!’?” Lawrence, who was dating the director at the time stated,
“I’m going to be honest. Well, I was sleeping with the director so I had CliffsNotes. So…five? Or a four? But if anybody needs any tips on understanding their films, you know what to do.”
When Cohen tried to confirm what she meant by asking, “F*ck the director?” The actress simply replied, “Yeah!” Lawrence was obviously kidding, adhering to her playful persona.
