Jennifer Lawrence left Jimmy Fallon squirming as she repeatedly burst into tears during a car crash interview on The Tonight Show.
The 35-year-old actress appeared on the TV program on Thursday and became highly emotional several times.
At the beginning of their chat, Lawrence admitted she was ‘nervous’ and reflected on her recent New Yorker profile, where she discussed feeling like she was ‘annoying’ in interviews when she was younger.
After struggling to fight back tears, The Hunger Games star insisted that she ‘wasn’t gonna say a f***ing word’ during their talk.
To which the host replied, ‘No, you have to say something!’
But Lawrence was then lost for words, as she burst into loud, dramatic wails during her wide-ranging conversation with the visibly flustered host.

The actress then began to weep loudly in her seat over having to talk for her talk-show appearance
Her first cry came as she recounted a lengthy story about how she became attached to her new movie, Die My Love, which follows a young mother who descends into madness after moving to the countryside with her husband.
Jennifer explained: ‘Lynne Ramsay is someone I’ve always wanted to work with. So basically, she cracked it and she’s a genius and… I can’t believe I’m still talking!’
The actress then began to weep loudly in her seat over having to talk for her talk-show appearance.
Jimmy then exclaimed: ‘No, stop crying! Stop crying! No, this is fun! You’re having fun on a talk show! Stop crying. Just trust me, this is fun.’
In response, Jennifer stopped sobbing and told him: ‘Okay,’ as she began laughing.
But she got tearful again as she began sobbing after sharing a story about a comment that got lost in translation on the film’s Canadian set.
She said: ‘In Canada, they call the trailer “your room.” We call trailers “trailers,” because they’re trailers, and we call our room, like, the hotel room that we’re living in for months.’
She went on to explain that her producing partner ‘got a text from our line producer that was like, “These three background kids have nowhere to stay. Can they use your room?”‘

The request left her thinking she would suddenly be sharing a room with three children.
Jennifer recalled: ‘She’s like, “Well, geez, I don’t know. All my stuff’s in there.” And the line producer’s getting more and more flabbergasted. He’s like, “I’ll help you move your stuff!”‘
Jennifer added that the producer got so frustrated that he eventually just said he’d ask Lynne if they could stay in her trailer.
She concluded: ‘This whole back-and-forth where he thinks we’re crazy, we obviously think he’s crazy, and then it was just a misunderstanding.’
The star then promptly burst into another wave of mock tears.
But Jimmy’s response was different this time.
He said: ‘Oh my gosh. Unbelievable. You’re unbelievable.’

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed why she turned down the use of an intimacy coordinator while filming her new psychological drama Die My Love with Robert Pattinson; seen in May 2024
The interview comes after Jennifer revealed why she turned down the use of an intimacy coordinator while filming her new psychological drama Die My Love with Robert Pattinson.
While appearing on the Las Culturistas podcast, the Oscar winner, 34, opened up about feeling completely comfortable shooting explicit scenes with her co-star, 39.
‘We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really,’ Lawrence explained. ‘I felt really safe with Rob. He is not pervy and very in love with [his partner] Suki Waterhouse.’
The actress said the pair shared an easy trust on set, adding that they spent most of their time ‘talking about our kids and relationships.’
‘There was never any weird like, “Does he think I like him?”‘ she said. ‘If there was a little bit of that I would probably have an intimacy coordinator. A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to f*** them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that.’
Lawrence’s bold performance in Die My Love has already drawn widespread acclaim and early Oscar buzz, with critics praising her fearless portrayal of a woman unraveling under the weight of motherhood.
Elsewhere, Jennifer appeared on Lorraine (November 7) to discuss her new film.
The actress revealed she suffered from postpartum depression after having her son in April this year.
Speaking to Vogue Williams, she explained: ‘I was totally surprised, when I had my second I actually suffered really bad postpartum depression.’
Jennifer also shared how she was five months pregnant whilst filming, to which Vogue was incredibly moved by due to her amazing acting.
