Jennifer Lawrence Gets Unexpectedly Candid on Working With DiCaprio and Chalamet
Sharing a set with A-list actors can be difficult at times.
Don't Look Up premiered in 2021 and became a hit on Netflix. By tackling a controversial topic, the film immediately generated enough buzz and received great ratings, such as a 7.2 on IMDb.
With a budget of $75 million, it grossed more than $791 million at the box office.
Another thing that made the movie a success was its brilliant cast. All the actors in Adam McKay's comedy (although the genre of the film is much more than that) were the best in Hollywood.
The leading role of a completely self-destructive scientist was offered to Leonardo DiCaprio. In fact, he was the first to be cast.
And then he was joined by Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Jennifer Lawrence, and some other great actors. But as it turned out, some of them were not so happy to be a part of one movie.
That goes for Lawrence, who once opened up in an interview with Stephen Colbert how she really felt about being on set with some of her co-stars. She specifically mentioned DiCaprio and Chalamet.
Lawrence said that it was one of the most annoying days of her life as those two really drove her mad. She said that they didn't let her have a moment of peace and she truly felt miserable.
But don't worry, there was nothing dreadful going on between them all.
For those who don't know, we have to reveal that the comedy was produced not long after the COVID lockdown, and, according to the actress, there was some unreleased energy in them that had to go somewhere.
So Timothée was just talking out of control with all his emotions. Lawrence remembers that it was probably his first scene that day, so he was really excited about it.
And Leo... Well, she remembers that he was just inappropriately scientific about some song and he wouldn't calm down about it and just tell some stories nonstop. The actress says that she felt miserable and just wanted the day to finally be over.
Later, Jennifer Lawrence gave a shout-out to the stars who were in the movie with her, admitting that she was actually very proud to share the moment with such prominent actors.
