At just 25 years old, Jennifer Lawrence is practically Hollywood royalty. With her impressive roles in blockbuster films and even an Academy Award under her belt, she has certainly made a name for herself. However, it appears that not everyone in the glitzy world of Hollywood knows who she is. In a recent interview on The Graham Norton show, Lawrence shared a rather embarrassing encounter she had with fellow A-Listers, Harrison Ford and J.J. Abrams. Despite her fame, they completely ignored her while she was out on the town. Lawrence admitted that she was mortified by the situation and described herself dancing foolishly in front of them in a desperate attempt to grab their attention. It seems that even someone as successful as Lawrence can still be overlooked in the chaotic world of showbiz.
Jennifer Lawrence, who won an Oscar, recently shared an embarrassing incident involving Harrison Ford and J.J. Abrams on a night out. While promoting her new movie, X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Jennifer recounted how she was left feeling humiliated after approaching Ford and Abrams during a night out with Jack Whitehall. Despite thinking that they would recognize her as a colleague, the A-Listers had no idea who she was. Jennifer described the awkward silence that followed her unsuccessful attempt at dancing and confessed that she walked back to Jack feeling utterly embarrassed.
No idea: Discussing her experience on The Graham Norton show, the X-Men actress revealed that she was extremely embarrassed when the cast failed to recognize her while she danced in front of them like a fool. However, she mentioned that Harrison eventually reached out to her, stating: “Later on, he wrote to me because someone with a 12-year-old must have informed him of my identity!” Nevertheless, it appears that the iconic star, known for his role as Han Solo in Star Wars, had no trouble identifying the comedian Jack. The 27-year-old funnyman joined in on Jennifer’s story and shared: “What’s amusing is that I had just worked with Harrison on a show, and he was the only A-list Hollywood star I had met. Jen had just been ignored, and I thought, ‘Hey, it’s okay, I’ll go and greet Harrison.’ But everyone warned me, saying, ‘Jack, don’t do it. It will be embarrassing.'”
“She recounted how, in the midst of twirling on the dance floor, a sudden realization struck her: they had no clue about her identity. Overwhelmed by acute embarrassment, she abruptly halted her dancing and shamefully retraced her steps back to Jack. According to her, the entire encounter left her feeling uncomfortably awkward.”
‘He got up and yelled, “Hey, Jack!”‘ But it seems that the famous actor, known for his role as Han Solo in Star Wars, had no trouble recognizing the comedian Jack, who was in the company of Jennifer at that time.
‘And so I stood up and approached, thinking to myself, “Oh no, maybe he won’t remember me and it’ll be embarrassing.” And just as I was walking over, he stood up and shouted, “Hey, Jack!” It was so hilarious. It was probably the most enjoyable moment of my life, but Jennifer’s most embarrassing!’
Unfortunately for Jennifer, this isn’t the only time she has found herself in an awkward situation with another A-Lister. She also shared a story about an uncomfortable encounter with Sandra Bullock.
‘I still feel guilty,’ she admitted about the incident. ‘I should have sent her an email to explain, but I didn’t know what to say.
‘We were backstage together at the Oscars, where she was presenting, and I told her, “I love all your work except for All About Steve; it was really bad.” She was gracious about it, but as she walked on stage, I shouted after her, “Don’t mess up, Sandy!” I still have no clue why I did that!’
Currently, the actress is busy promoting Bryan Singer’s second installment of the X-Men series, in which she portrays the villainous mutant Mystique.
Jennifer will be joining Jack, her co-star James McAvoy, Johnny Depp, and Will.i.am on The Graham Norton Show, scheduled to air on BBC One on May 13 at 10.35 p.m.
