Jennifer Lawrence bursts into tears - leaving Jimmy Fallon squirming
The actress, 35, appeared on The Tonight Show on Thursday and became emotional multiple times, leaving host Jimmy Fallon visibly uncomfortable during the interview.
At the start of the conversation, Jennifer Lawrence confessed she felt nervous and reflected on her recent profile in The New Yorker, where she talked about worrying that she had seemed “annoying” in earlier interviews.
“I was nervous,” she admitted, trying to hold back tears. “I wasn’t gonna say a f***ing word.”
Fallon urged her to respond, saying, “No, you have to say something!”, but Lawrence soon broke into dramatic sobs, momentarily halting the interview.
Her first emotional outburst came as she described her new film, Die My Love, which follows a young mother spiraling into madness after moving to the countryside with her husband.
“[Director] Lynne Ramsay is someone I’ve always wanted to work with,” she said. “So basically, she cracked it—she’s a genius—and… I can’t believe I’m still talking!”
Throughout the broadcast, Lawrence swung between laughter and tears, sparking both awkwardness and sympathy from the audience.
