Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most popular actresses in the Hollywood industry. The stunning beauty is a top name in fantasy-based movies like the X-men franchise. The actress is highly appreciated for her versatility in roles including, action, romance, comedy, sci-fi, and others. Lawrence was one of the highest-paid actresses, owing to her performance in the blockbuster hit series, The Hunger Games.
In the movies, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth played the lead. The kiss scene between the two had become quite popular among the fans. However, Liam Hemsworth was less than impressed by Lawrence for the kiss. When she heard of Hemsworth’s comment, the actress seemed quite upset with him.
Liam Hemsworth was uncomfortable kissing Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games
Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence played the leads as Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne, respectively in The Hunger Games. And the couple was seen sharing a beautiful kiss on the screen. The scene was romantic and received well by the audience, however, Hemsworth shared in an interview about feeling uncomfortable while doing the kiss.
The Independence Day 2 star recalled in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,
“When you look at it on the outside, it looks like a great picture. She’s one of my best friends, I love her. But, if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was so disgusting. Right before the scene, she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I ate tuna’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’”
Hemsworth shared that Lawrence purposely did things to make the scene in the movie difficult for him.
Jennifer Lawrence was upset with Liam Hemsworth’s comment
The Passengers fame came to know about Hemsworth’s remarks on their kiss in The Hunger Games after the episode went viral. In Access’s interview with Lawrence, she shared about being quite upset with the remark by Hemsworth. She said,
“Thank you for reminding me that I’m mad at Liam. It made news everywhere. Where is he?”
Liam Hemsworth‘s statement sounded like the actress intentionally ate strong-smelling meals before their kiss, however, the Silver Linings Playbook actress asserted it was just a coincidence. She said,
“I was never like, ‘Hey Liam, I just ate tuna and garlic on purpose.’ I just would happen to eat something. I didn’t change the way I was eating for the kissing, which is different than doing something on purpose. Is it worse?!”
The actor also joked that she would make sure her breath smelled fresh for only a few prominent celebrities.
“I do that when I’m kissing like Christian Bale or like a real [star] – not when it’s like Josh and Liam,” she said. “For Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, yeah, I’ll brush my teeth. I’ll pop a mint.”
Hemsworth later pretended to be offended by the comment of Jennifer Lawrence. He said, “That’s one of the most awful things I’ve ever heard.”
The Hunger Games is streaming on Amazon Prime.
