In an old conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Jennifer opened up about filming difficult scenes in Mother. She further shared how the Kardashians helped her to move forward and give the shots. Scroll ahead to learn what she said about them.
Did Jennifer Lawrence seek help from the Kardashians?
In 2017, after her movie Mother directed by Darren Aronofsky was released in theatres, she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the conversation, he appreciated JLaw for her outstanding performance in the film and said that he was “still shaken” after watching it. While discussing it, he asked her, “How did you act in this? Did you take a long vacation after this role? This is insane.”
Jennifer Lawrence very calmly said, “I’ve said this before I don’t people know this or not. I got to such a low point in the film, emotionally, like I was going to such a dark place that eventually I had to bring in the Kardashians,” and quickly added, “Not in person.”
Jimmy then chimed in saying that they do that to people and that the Kardashians are like a party bus, showing up to cheer you up while introducing like this is Khloe, Kendall, and the whole family. Later, Jennifer Lawrence further continued, “No, I had to this one scene that, I had never gone that “dark” before and I don’t want to sound like my “craft” but I had never done anything like that horrifying.”
She explained, “So I started getting scared a couple of days before and I was like I needed a tent just to be away from all the extras because I didn’t know what I would do. And then eventually one Kardashian came then another Kardashian came. It was just a computer that was playing The Kardashians and had headshots it also had little notes (to me from them that I had written). However, I can’t share any of them ’cause I don’t wanna offend anyone, it was my own personal thoughts.”
