The No Hard Feelings actress recalled the time when she met 3 Times Oscar Nominee Woody Harrelson. She has prepared herself to make a good first impression. As she felt nervous, she even practiced what would she say.
“I had been practicing what I was going to say in my trailer because I couldn’t decide if I was going to go with ‘Hey, how are ya, I’m Jen!’ or ‘Hi Woody, it’s such an honor to meet you, I’m Jennifer.’ I went over it and over it on the way walking to his bus, muttering to myself ‘Should I go with Jen or Jennifer? Should I say I’m Katniss. No he probably already knows that… ‘”
And when the moment came, the first thing she asked him was, “Is that a s*x swing?!”
“I walked into his bus to introduce myself and the first words that just fell out of my mouth were ‘Is that a s*x swing?’” she reminisced.
Harrelson added that Lawrence is a “very, very clever gal” with “incredible wit,” and that their interactions are always filled with laughter.
