Jennifer Lawrence Confesses She Drugged for a Scene

Actress Jennifer Lawrence confessed at a press conference in Los Angeles that she had actually drugged herself to record a scene from her latest film, the comedy “Don’t Look Up,” which she stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, and which will premiere on Netflix on Dec. 24. In the film, directed by Adam McKay (“The Big Bet”), Lawrence and DiCaprio play two astronomers who travel the United States to warn the population that a meteorite is hurtling toward Earth, but no one takes them seriously. In one scene, Lawrence’s character, after seeing the meteorite and learning of its danger, smokes a marijuana cigar to relax. This interpretation is real, since the actress thought it would be more credible and original to shoot also under the influence of drugs, as published by the Yahoo! Movies portal.The director of the film explained that the actress asked him for permission to smoke marijuana in that scene, in which he appears next to Meryl Streep and makes a monologue of several minutes, and McKay said yes. The Oscar-winning actress for “The Good Side of Things” anticipated potential criticism and immediately clarified that she was “not pregnant at the time,” as she is now. Just two months ago Lawrence announced that she is expecting her first child with Cooke Maroney, whom she married in 2019.In a recent interview, the actress revealed that for this film she charged almost US $ 5 million less than DiCaprio, although she assured that the actor attracts more viewers than her.
