Don't Look Up has been a massive hit on Netflix, and Jennifer Lawrence is a key reason why. Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio made millions for the flick, and given the conversation around the film, it was worth every penny.
Lawrence made the film on the heels of a lengthy break, and she's officially back and bigger than ever. During her career, Lawrence has done it all, including kissing and more intimate scenes, some of which required some liquid courage. Earlier on in her career, however, she was far less bothered with it all, and a few performers caught the brunt of Lawrence having some bad breath.
Let's hear what the actress has to say about kissing some co-stars.
Jennifer Lawrence Is An A-List Star
As one of the top actresses working today, Jennifer Lawrence is a performer who millions of movie fans are familiar with. The actress has seen and done it all already, and the fact that she is still so young just goes to show how much talent she has always had.
Lawrence was not an instant success in the business, but even at a young age, she was landing some solid roles. Eventually, she would get the chance to star in multiple franchises on the big screen, and this played a major part in global audiences seeing what she could do.
Over time, Lawrence would couple her exposure with critical acclaim, turning into one of Hollywood's biggest stars. She has won the most prestigious awards in the industry, has propelled films to box office success, and has even inspired other performers to up their own acting game.
It has been an amazing ride for Lawrence, and she still has plenty of time to continue making a splash with movie fans.
During her career, the actress has had a number of love interests that she has worked with on-screen.
Jennifer Lawrence Had Many On-Screen Love Interests
As is the case with many stars, Jennifer Lawrence has been paired up with a number of other performers who have served as love interests in her films. During this time, the actress has worked with the best of the best, while showing the world that she is in a class of her own.
Stars like Bradley Cooper, Liam Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, and Christian Bale have all played Lawrence's love interests on the big screen. Not only have they gotten the chance to work with the star, but some have raved about how talented she is.
"There is a subtle and spontaneous chemistry between us. We understand each other very well, despite our age difference, and I’ve always been impressed by her artistic maturity. She also has this incredible [quality] to be in the moment when she’s doing her scenes, and that is a tremendous gift when you’re working with an actress that good," says Bradley Cooper.
Thanks to having a number of love interests on screen, Lawrence has locked lips with plenty of them. Turns out, there have been a few who have felt the full force of some unfortunate breath.
She Ate Tuna Before Kissing Josh Hutcherson & Liam Hemsworth
So, who did Jennifer Lawrence give some serious stink breath to for kissing scenes? Turns out, it was her kissing partners from the Hunger Games movies that felt the wrath of tuna and mustard.
"When I had to kiss Josh and Liam in The Hunger Games, I was like, 'Who cares?' and I'd eat mustard and tuna," the actress said.
This, however, was in contrast to her time with Christian Bale on American Hustle.
And then I did American Hustle with Christian Bale and I was like, 'Oh damn,' and I was really clean and ate lots and lots of mints."
It's always interesting to hear about how performers approach kissing one another. Clearly, there are times when they are accommodating, but at other times, they don't care one bit about their breath.
A similar story emerged years back from the set of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
According to BuzzFeed, "Melissa Fumero and Andy Samberg had a competition to see who could have "the most stank breath" before filming Jake and Amy's first kiss — they ate wings and roasted garlic."
This isn't always the case, of course, but it's still funny to think about the lengths that those two went through to gross one another out.
The next time you give the Hunger Games franchise a watch, just remember that Jennifer Lawrence had some nasty breath during those kissing scenes. It might make them just a bit funnier.
