Wedding preparations are supposed to be joyous, but for Jennifer Lawrence, her rehearsal dinner took an unexpected turn. In a candid revelation during a red carpet interview with E! News on Jan. 7, the actress shared the behind-the-scenes stress of being a bride and the moment she politely asked Robert De Niro to leave.
The Stress of Bridal Duties
Lawrence opened up about the overwhelming stress of being a bride, expressing concern not just for herself but for the enjoyment of her guests. The unpredictable weather added an extra layer of anxiety. “It’s so stressful,” she confessed. “You’re not having fun. You’re just like, ‘Is that person having fun?'”
Spotting De Niro’s Discomfort
As the Oscar-winning actress scanned the room, she noticed her Joy costar, Robert De Niro, attempting to navigate the social setting. Feeling a wave of protectiveness, she decided his presence might not be ideal. “I looked over and I saw Bob, who doesn’t know anybody and he’s kind of wandering around, and I immediately was like, ‘No, this isn’t what he wants to be doing. I don’t want him here,'” she shared.
The Whispers
In a moment of candidness, Lawrence approached De Niro and whispered, “Go home.” The Hollywood legend complied, being courteous and engaging with her parents before making his exit. Lawrence admitted, “That just genuinely made me feel better.”
A Freezing Affair
Another source of stress emerged when Lawrence worried about her guests enduring the cold weather. While friends reassured her, claiming all was well, it was her mother who provided an honest assessment. “My mom was like, ‘It’s freezing out there, your grandmother almost died,'” Lawrence recalled.
The Unforgettable Wedding
