Jennifer Lawrence on filming ‘annoying’ scene with DiCaprio and Chalamet: ‘It was hell’

On Monday, Jennifer Lawrence stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about her new star-studded film, “Don’t Look Up.” Apparently two of the film’s actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet, annoyed her immensely while filming a car scene near the beginning of principal photography.

“It was the most annoying day in my life,” Lawrence recalled. “They drove me crazy that day.”

While the actress couldn’t pinpoint exactly what she didn’t like about sharing the cozy car confines with the other actors, she tried.

“I don't know what it was,” Lawrence said. “Timothée was just excited to be out of the house. I think it was, like, his first scene. And Leo had picked the song that was playing in the car and was just, like, ‘You know, this song was about, you know, blah, blah, blah’”

This film marked Lawrence’s return to acting since she announced she was taking a break in 2018. She recently revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that she had originally left because,, “...everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me.”

Despite the long break, it sounds like when she returned to acting she found two other actors to make her sick.

“I just remember being in absolute misery that day,” Lawrence said. “It was hell.”
