Jennifer Lawrence Shocks Fans By Revealing Her True Opinion On Plastic Surgery

In the following, we will look at what Jennifer Lawrence said about the Lord of the Rings that upset Stephen Colbert. We will also reveal another one of Jennifer Lawrence’s embarrasing interview confessions and why she prides herself on being brutally honest.
What Jennifer Lawrence Said About The Lord Of The Rings That Hurt Stephen Colbert
Jennifer Lawrence stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2021 to promote her Netflix project, Don’t Look Up. She starred in the 2021 film, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett and Timothee Chalamet. The last time Lawrence was at the late-night show, she and Colbert took a few shots of rum to let loose, but this time, she couldn’t drink as she was pregnant with her first child with her husband, Cooke Maroney. The gallery art director and Lawrence started dating in 2018, before getting married in 2019.
“When you were last here when we were talking, we did six shots of rum. I’m going to assume that we’re not going to do that this time.” Jennifer Lawrence responded jokingly, “Please, No! I had to go to a premiere last time after that.”
After the question, the actress shed light on her hiatus. “You did it. A lot of people talk about it, but you actually did it [took a break from acting]. What did you do? Did you have fun? What did you do for the last three years?” The star replied, “Just had a ton of sex.” Colbert added, “Good for you!” before she said she spent most of her time at home learning to cook. “I make a mess, but I’m really good at cleaning it up.”
Why Do Jennifer Lawrence And These Celebrities Live On A Budget Despite Their Huge Net Worth?
Despite their A-list status, some celebrities choose a modest lifestyle and contribute a significant portion of their wealth to charitable causes.
When Colbert asked Lawrence if she and Maroney had started any of their own family traditions for the upcoming holidays, she spoke of what she likes doing. “I inhale all of the Harry Potters; the day after Thanksgiving, it’s Harry Potter time.”
The host joked, “That makes sense; I think the first was a Christmas movie.” Before asking, “What about the Lord of the Rings movies? Have you ever seen those?” Lawrence answered, “I like those, but they are all like the same movie in my mind.” Colbert was visibly offended by her statement as a Lord of the Rings fan, so he took off his glasses and dropped them on the table.
He couldn’t speak for a minute, “That’s fine. But what do you mean they are all the same movie?” She replied, “I love them, and I love watching them, but I couldn’t tell you what happened in which.” Colbert tried to explain the franchise’s plot to Lawrence but quickly realized it was a hopeless effort.
After seeing how hurt Colbert still was, Lawrence apologized. “I’m sorry.” He replied, “Don’t apologize to me. Thank you so much for caring at all.” Colbert later presented Lawrence with a baby onesie with the show’s name written on it to gift her child.
Jennifer Lawrence’s Lord of the Rings moment with Stephen Colbert can be seen below starting at 3:38.
Jennifer Lawrence Once Admitted To Nearly Soiling Her Pants During Press Interview Because Of A-List Co-Star
While promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Jennifer Lawrence didn’t hold back during her press interviews. One of them included an instance when co-star Woody Harrelson almost made her sh** her pants while they were doing press interviews. The A-lister who plays Haymitch Abernathy in the movies developed a great friendship with Lawrence, including pulling pranks on her and his other Hunger Games co-stars.
Jennifer Lawrence Had The Perfect Reaction To A Fan Telling Her Jennifer Aniston’s Movies Are Better
Jennifer Lawrence struggled to find fans that were aware of her films, and one of the fans made a harsh comparison to Jennifer Aniston.
Lawrence shared that once, Harrelson gave her a healthy smoothie that messed with her stomach so badly she almost soiled her pants. The Red Sparrow actress said, “He gave me some healthy drink that was so healthy, it shocked my system. I was like, ‘Woody, is there something in there that would make me cr*p my pants?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, there’s a lot of stuff.’ He started listing all the stuff, and I started sweating.”
One time the Zombieland actor pranked Jennifer Lawrence was when he shoved Vegan socks down her throat during a cast and crew party she hosted. “He chased me around my apartment. I flipped over the couch, trying to get away from him. He pinned me down and forced the socks so far down my throat that when he ripped it out, I like almost threw up. I gagged.”
Woody Harrelson also played a prank on another Hunger Games cast member where he pretended to be injured. While filming Mocking Jay Part 2, Harrelson admitted he got his makeup artist to make his face look like he had been in a bad bike accident and called Liam Hemsworth. “I told him to come to the hospital to pick me up, but I made the name up, and of course, there was no such place. There was a dark one; it played on people’s sympathies. Nothing good about it.”
Jennifer Lawrence Speaks On Why She Is Brutally Honest
Jennifer Lawrence is no stranger when speaking her mind and thinks more celebrities should emulate her behaviour, especially when it comes to what celebrities say about losing weight and what they are eating to achieve their gorgeous physiques. While talking to InStyle, she said, “I just like it when everyone’s honest. If you are 20 pounds underweight and talk about eating pizza and fried chicken all the time, that’s not going to make people feel good about themselves.”
Lawrence is also one of the few celebrities who is honest with her fans about the realities of being a Hollywood actress. She shocked everyone when she admitted she had no idea what her 2017 film, Mother, was about despite sleeping with the movie’s director, Darren Aronofsky. Andy Cohen asked her on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, “On a scale from one to totally confused, how much did you understand your film Mother !?”
Lawrence burst into laughter before answering, ‘I’m going to be honest. Well, I was sleeping with the director. So I had CliffsNotes. So, five? Or four?” Cohen replied in disbelief. “A four! Wow, OK. That’s not high.” Aronofsky and Lawrence split shortly after the movie’s release, as its reviews strained their romance.
