Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. Very excited about our guest today, Jennifer Lawrence. Jan and I, we have a good time, man. We laugh a lot in this episode, and we talk about a lot of great things, her incredible career, the surprising parts of parenthood, her long torso, my short legs.

And we do what we always like to do here in Good Hang. We sing along to Shania Twain. But before we get started, we want to talk to somebody who knows our guest. You can speak well behind her back and give me a question to ask this guest. And we are joined by Justine Shiraki.

Justine is a producer. She runs Excellent Cadaver, the production company that's produced films like Causeway and Dime My Love and her and Jennifer and friends forever. So Justine, are you there? Let's get started. This episode is brought to you by Zoom.

Many of us have been there. The calls were you zone out for one second and miss six key points. The quick check-ins that are anything but quick. Because here's the thing. Every conversation creates work.

Zoom is now a full system of action that can actually complete work from the context of your existing meetings, calls and chats. No more post call panic, no more inbox avalanche. You talked about it, Zoom got it done. Visit zoomahead.com to learn more.

Hey girl. Hi, I'm really happy to talk to you today. Because I think the stuff that you guys have done together is really, really special. But also you just shared a long history together as people in the world and friends. Well, that's very generous of you to say.

And obviously we've been enormous fans for 100 years. So it's such an honor to talk to you. And I'm like pinching myself. And she is too, that she's coming on the podcast. Oh yeah, she's so good at podcasts.

I mean, she's so good at talking. That's her shit. Totally. Now, before we start talking about Jennifer, I do want to talk about you. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. I actually think we have Aubrey Plaza in common. I grew up with Aubrey and a community theater with her. You did? Her childhood, yes, yes.

You guys went to the same school. Like, are you in the same town? Yeah, we went to the same elementary school. And we both were in community theater at the Wilmington Dromelig and esteemed venue for like most of our, most of our time. Oh my gosh, what was baby Plaza like?

Exactly the same as adult Plaza. Yeah. It hasn't changed a bit. The greatest, the greatest. That's what a small world.

And so the two of you are like, they're doing shows and performing. And then where does that take you after you graduate? I didn't really know where I would fit in film. And so I, you know, took a bunch of odd jobs and explored. And during that period, I met Jen.

And what was your first impression of her when you met? My first impression of Jen was that she was a wild beast. And also that she had, because Jen didn't have like a traditional education, she also served a lot of the like social anxiety that I think a lot of people our age had been plagued with. So Jen had this like abandon and lack of self-consciousness that was really unfamiliar to all of our friends. So we were sort of like, wide-eyed by her.

And I think that that's something that she still possesses all these years later. It's something that she hasn't outgrown her. She's never, yeah, she's not become jaded by her totally still real lifestyle. So how do you go from two young women like sitting on a couch in a small LA apartment to running this big company and making these big movies? Like how does that work?

Oh man, I mean, it's a loaded question. I think that we met as young women and obviously developed our taste together. We were discovering film together. Everything from one car Y to sex in the city, you know, like it ran the gamut. And I also think that we became best friends.

And so what we care about similar things, we're moved by similar things. We have similar reactions to life and what's happening in the world. And that really is the basis for our decision-making or around what we take on as producers. So I think the obviously like extraordinary happens to Jen's young success and her being in this incredible position to get things made. And then Jen and I continuing to like care for our relationship and continuing to grow together.

And so I think the Odyssey has involved a ton of hard work and care and all the things you would imagine. And also us continuing to grow and being excited to elevate each other. And also I loved Causeway. Well, thank you. Such a beautiful movie.

I want to talk to Jen about it. It's just a great, great movie, beautiful director Lila. I love Lila. Brian is so, Brian, Tyree Henry is so good. Jen is so convincing as the character that she plays like a physically and kind of spiritually wounded vet who is returning home.

It's so good, such a good movie. It's always so nice to see Jen in those roles where the kind of like stripped back quieter performances where it's so much of it is just happening in her eyes, you know? I don't, I mean, I don't know how to act like that. Like, I mean, we were kind of talking about, we were talking about interviewing, and we were like, and you know, it's hard not to be like, you're so good at acting. But she is so good at acting.

She's good. She's fucking good. Other times when you're watching her and you're like, damn, she's really good at acting. Every time, every time. Like I just sat on probably 11 sets of Jen.

And every time my mind just is like blowing out of my face. I'm like, still, like it does not get old. She just levels up every time. You know her really well. You know, sometimes we ask people to talk well behind our guests back and they've worked with them or they kind of know them, but you know her really, really well.

You've known her for a really long time and you're deep partners in work and you're loving friends in life. And what do you think I should ask her today? What do you want to know about, hear about, or what do you think she'd want to talk about or a story she'd want to tell? Man, I mean, with Jen, it's funny because she is so like transparent in the spaces. Like I don't think that she's somebody who, or there are like a ton of subjects that are off limits.

Well, it's okay. That's really helpful because I've been prepping for the interview and I don't want to put her in an uncomfortable position ever to ask her something. She doesn't want to talk about but she also feels really well aware of what she feels comfortable talking about, I guess. I think she is. And I think she'll also like tell you.

Like I think that she, I think like she'll pivot if she needs to. You never have to answer a question if you don't want to answer. And it is, and it's a magic trick to not answer it. And people often forget that what question they asked. I mean, this is a good thing to tell a guest.

Probably. This is probably not a good thing to get. But anyway, it doesn't have to be a happy question. It can be something small, anything that you think we should ask her today. I mean, gosh, like maybe because she's in a position of constantly being asked questions and she is never in charge of what is being asked.

Like maybe it's asking her, like, what would you like to talk more about that you don't feel? Whoa, that's a good friend. It's an opportunity to declare, you know? Maybe she's a big announcement. Or just something that she'd like to reflect on.

You know what, that's a really good friend because what you're basically saying is just check in with her and see if there's anything else she wants to talk about. Yeah, it's so true. But she like is tired of talking about, you know? Not too. Yeah.

What are you, what do you want? It's basically like you're at the TSA. It's like, what do you want to declare? Yeah, it's a big talk. And what perishable would you like to get rid of?

Totally. Yeah. Well, no, but thank you so much. And I will give your best to Aubrey Plaza. I like picturing you guys being weird together in Wilmington.

Yeah, that's the right picture. Justine, thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate it. Thank you for having me have a question. All right, nice talking to you.

I can watch. See you later. Okay, take care. Bye. This episode is brought to you by Allstate.

Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking that your car is in park before getting out. Let's just say you won't be making that mistake twice. Yeah, checking first is smart.

Jen. Hi. Oh, my voice was so sweet. Hi. Hi.

I'm very excited. I'm so excited to be here. I am a really, really huge fan. Oh, come on. I am.

Same one. Obviously being sarcastic. I was worried about what to wear today because your style is so dope. Thank you. You have a great style.

Oh, my God. That's the only thing you need to say to me. And what is your I want to know? How do you pick clothes? What is your relationship to clothes?

Thank you so much. We'll talk about this. I'll just because I'm struggling with mine. I have a very opinionated friends. One in particular, very opinionated friends.

And we do a lot of closet cleanouts. I think living in New York helps with that. Yeah. I don't have a lot of excess stuff that confuses me. I have things that I really like.

Do you think about do you plan your outfits for the? I mean, obviously with press it's loosely. I mean, I do it mentally. I like start kind of planning something and I take it to school. And I know that I'm going to get photographed.

So I do kind of do like a mental like like what do I want to present today? No, no. Because the answer is always the same. Today I want to present as like effortless, but you know, like girl. How should I put on?

And you know what else is really important. Remember? Tell me. You can write it down. I'm ready.

Big goes with big. OK, this is a tall girl. It's going to be if it's going to be if it's going to be tight. If you're going to have a bag in a tight, you cannot ever have tight on the bottom bag on the top. Or you look like a lamp.

You can have bagging on the bottom and tight on the top. But you cannot do the other way. I'll tell you something about bagging on the bottom. I wore a bagging on the bottom for you today. You did?

Yeah, I'll show you later. I baggy pants. I'm I'm so sure it's like it's tough. Yeah. It's tough.

It's tough to go baggy on the bottom. But I have shot a really long torso. Yeah. And big, sick meat arms. So OK, it's a long torso.

I see then that silhouette. You know your silhouette. I guess. Yeah. And it's I mean, you got great.

Knowing is not loving. You got great style. I mean, I and I and like you like I'm always just looking to see how women are dressing, like not like just truly like how do we not just the style of the pencil notes. Yeah. When I see something and when I actually feel comfortable, it feels like such a win.

Yeah. To wear something that you feel good in and you also feel good in. It's like hard. Yeah. You feel like you're like representing yourself accurately.

Yeah. Yeah. Or the worst thing is like when you're like, I think I nailed it. A picture years later. I'm not even years later.

Oh my god. You're like, I remember feeling really good. Yeah. I had that recently because I was part of him, but I was like, but I had like in my with my second I had like bad postpartum. So I wasn't eating.

So I felt really skinny. Right. But I wasn't. But inside. Yeah.

I was like strapless. Let's do this. I don't know. Maybe it was like three weeks off. I mean, you like a lot of people like we're working through a lot of your pregnancies.

And that's also a weird thing too, because you're like your body is kind of you're like bringing your body along for the ride. Well, I was surprised more people haven't talked about how skinny I am and I love because I'm pregnant. And I've been waiting in the weeks. Nobody's like, wow, you were pregnant. You looked so skinny.

Like I've never had a no zen pick rumor. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet.

After this. No, but I love what you've been talking about. We've so many things to talk about today. And I just want to start by saying this is what I've gleaned from meeting you briefly and feeling like I and I know people who know you really well and just like who I don't want to talk about them. Oh, my mom.

They ask you to come up with friends with your mom. But you seem and I know it's going to sound cheesy, but you like women. Oh, yeah, I know. But I do. I do.

And it shows what you think I like love white men. Oh my God. They're just be their champion. There's so many stuff. You're always like, wait, think about the other side.

Not all men. I have that tattoo. You know, you and the reason why to me, it's not what you say. It's not what one says is what they do. But what you do all the time that I think women do for each other is you like, you tell the real, real behind something like you, you talk about like this was difficult or I'm thinking about this or like you basically, I think when people stay mysterious, it's like a disservice to women.

It's just like, OK, you know, and you do this thing that I really appreciate that comes through, which is you're trying to be honest in real time and trying to connect. And I think that's I think that's what women do for other women when they like women. It's the best way to say things. And so like today, when I was thinking about our interview, I was like, I've been really hearing you talk about how you're trying to figure out the balance between who do I want to be and what parts of me do I want to give out to the rest of the world and what parts do I want to keep for myself, which feels like very like 30s. Totally.

Where are you at right now with the balance of that? Because you are so famous and so real. Oh, thank you. And those two things are not always the case. Right.

I think that I when I do press, I should do half than what normal people do because I see my quotes and they like they're insane. Like Jennifer Lawrence, well, it's according to the story, you know, it's just two, you know, yeah, you're right. It's it's but it carries. It carries, but it's well, first of all, honestly, it's funny because it's you're so funny. Thank you.

And the third piece of the puzzle will say is that you're very you feel like a real product. You're very, you're going to say your product. You've had your hand on my knee this entire area. And it's a long stretch. You really long.

These pants are baggy. No, you're you're you're famous and erotic and real and deeply funny. Like genuinely funny. Oh, my God. That's like coming from you.

You're my hero. Dude, but I don't say that everybody. And you know, God is fair. Like usually you don't have all those things going at once. Usually you have like a very like important, interesting actor who's like really good at acting, but maybe like, you know, maybe not the funniest or you have a deeply funny person who you wouldn't maybe believe in a scene, but you can do both.

Oh, thank you. I could do this all day. Well, I'm glad I was the kids like to say. What's is that what they say? No, you don't know.

You don't know. You don't know. Well, you've got teenagers. What do you want to know about teens? I know everything.

You have two boys. I have two boys. I'm, you know, I missed my window to really ask about six, seven. And I know that it's like, it's over now. I know.

I know. I've missed the window. So I don't even care. Actually, actually anything that we know is over. Right.

By the time it's like your mom. Yeah, like it's in your times is writing about it. It's it's it's over. Okay. Like no one's saying it anymore.

But to explain really like boots. Like like instead of period boots, but that's from drivers. I'm deceased boots. Like like like period end of boots. Right.

I feel like period is still around here. I feel like you're supposed to replace it with boots. I think or that's just a gay culture thing. I don't actually know. Yeah.

Um, we could I have a laptop. We could look it up. We could spend a stretchy. Hello, is this a boot culture or just gay monoculture? But asking for a friend.

But what is it for that? You're in your mid 30s now. You are I bet you're starting to feel just just what you just expressed. Which is like old old. Oh, yeah.

But it's weird, right? Because you're you do not feel one does not really feel old in their choice. My assistant is 23. Okay. And so like I was doing like a closet clean out yesterday and she was like, Oh my God, these are like real skinny jeans.

Like they look like it was like an art of talk. She was like, wow, they really do go in at the bottom. And I'm like, we were talking about baby mama. I'm like, so funny. So funny.

She was like, that was probably like the first comedy I ever saw. And I was like, how old were you seven? You're a millennial. Yeah. Like mid millennial.

Like, I don't know when it begins or ends. I was born in 90. You know, there's this I feel like you would like this bull probably cut it. But there's this book that I'm obsessed with called The Fourth Turning. And it's all about how 80 years of history, just keep repeating itself.

And we're getting at the end of the chaos era, which makes sense, right? For the past like 20, whatever years. But it's like each generation throughout the years have come forward to save. Like, you know, different eras from peril. And the millennials are going to be the heroes in the next, the next.

Good luck. I'm so hard. I believe in you and I wish you the best of life. I was hoping that these kids would save us. No, it's you guys.

And I feel like that makes sense because we've really, you know, I'm Gen X. We everybody like really gave it to millennials and like roll their eyes at how well parented they were, how blah, blah. We just like thought that they were. And I think they're going to really show us they're going to save things. So chop chop.

Okay. All right. All right. I'll try. It is funny when you see like what gentle parenting is going to do.

Yeah. Yeah. But okay, speaking of gentle parenting, this is a good segue. I want to get to you go from I'm blown away by the story and I'm sure you've told it before, but I just need to know the details, which is Louisville. You're on a trip to New York with your mom.

Yeah. And a guy comes up on the street and says, can I take a card? Yeah. Tell us the story. Well, he took.

Okay. I will tell you the story and I just I feel like I'm lying. It's an amazing story. But it's it's it is the truth, but it's just one of those. I'm like a woman.

So I feel like I have to apologize and then I'm lying. I was in New York. I'm sorry. For spring break and I was watching street dancing in Union Square. Never seen that before.

Not a lot of street dancing in Louisville. And a man named Daniel who was a talent scout came up to me and my mom. I was like, can I take her picture? I'm like a model scout and we were just like, cool. Okay.

You know, no sense of danger. Yeah. If you had like told us to meet him at hotel room, we 100% what I'm telling. And then you took my picture on the street. Joe Jonas actually wore the picture on his t-shirt at a concert one time.

And it was the first time I'd seen that picture. So I kind of joke. Jones get so weird. Weird. I've since seen it.

I don't really know what to do with it. I'm not going to like print it out. And so then I went and started being interviewed by like modeling agencies and what was becoming like really apparent was like, if you're a model, you're a model, like you're a model, you're traveling, you're not acting. Like there's no commercials. There's no, you know, so somewhere in those interviews, I decided that I would only sign with an agency that would also let me act, even though it hadn't been like an actual.

Did you know any actors growing up? Did you think you would do that as a job? No, never. But then once it kind of like was brought up as a possibility, I mean, I did. I would always watch like Hillary death, like when I got home from school, and then I would like.

Do Hillary death, like in the mirror. So it kind of all came together. But it is really random that someone came up and was like, Hey, kid, throw this pitch and you like have the most amazing fastball. You're so good at acting. Oh, thank you.

And the fact that someone was like, Hey, do you want to go do this acting thing? I mean, I guess it was through modeling, but like they were like, Hey, you, I mean, it's so wild. It's it's a needle in a haystack kind of. Yeah. Do you think you would have pursued it if that didn't happen?

I don't think so. I don't think I would have been aware that that was possible, although like being in the big city, I was like, Oh, I want to live in a room here. I want to make sure you have a vibe. Yeah. Like, you know, when you look back at your life, sometimes, and you see like Christmas cards where people say like, you know, hope you make it to New York someday.

And you think, right? Did you ever feel like you had that version of like, I want to get out of it? Like I want to be somewhere else. Yeah. I think like when it was happening, I think like, I mean, I really wasn't there for that long. I think about it like 13, 14.

That's normally like before you even start getting those like, yeah. So once I came back, it was just like an impossible fever. It was just like, I got to get back there. I got to do what I got to do. You know, and I had made money.

I used to train horses and I would babysit. So I had like $3,000. So I was like, I'm out of here. Yeah. You trained horses.

Wow. You prove my point that I feel like women and young girls that like horses usually have great hair. Wow. Always. I don't know.

I have a bunch of theories. And one of them is that if you like horses and make your hair grow really fast. Oh my God. Because a friend of mine, every time she's on mushrooms thinks that I look like my little pony. You have fantastic.

Rachel, this is for you. Rachel, I know you're all right now. Your mind is going to be blown. Yeah. But when I was looking at your life and career and I was kind of blown away by how much stuff happened so fast and young in the years of like 19 to 22.

Yeah. That was a lot. That's why I was emotional over those skinny jeans. They were my 23 year old rag and bones. Yes.

And I was a tender time. How old? What year were you? 2000 and 2012? 2012.

Because you did winter's bone. Beautiful movie, incredible performance when you're 19. Then you do SNL close to that time to like the following year, maybe. Did I? Yeah, 20.

Yeah, because it was before Oscars for silver linings. And we just don't remember being too young to drink. I did. But I thought Oscars. And what were your memories of doing SNL at that time?

Skewed. Skewed. Skewed. I read. I read on the cast then.

No, 2012. I had left in 2008 and then by 2012 I was doing Parks and Bex. OK. I don't I think I have to go back and do it again because I had walking ammonia. I was like under a lot of pressure and doing that.

And I was shooting one of the Hunger Games movies. I was shooting, I think, the second one while doing all of this camp. And I would like fly, go to a party, shake hands and then land and shoot with the gourneys. But I was very tired. And so I think I was just I remember I was also at that bad age.

I don't know if other people were like this at this age, but we're like, you know, when you get asked, like, can you do any impressions or anything? And I was like, no. Yeah, you know, like I don't want to be like, and I can do this and I can do that. I just kind of made everything like everybody else's problem. I was like, I don't know how to do that I can do that.

Totally. I know. And also, I mean, it's hard to be young and on the show. It's just hard. But your relationship to comedy, what is it like now?

Do you want to make more, do more direct, more, write more? I would love, I wrote a comment. You did. And I would love to direct that. And I'll start on it.

Oh my God, you should. Thank you. And no hard feelings was great. You were hilarious in it. Thank you.

So I did not write and direct that one. I guess I could tell people that I did. I always could. Well, they said they don't pay attention. Yeah.

After I wrote and directed, no hard feelings. I really got me thinking. But thank you. I had a lot of fun doing. And you want to direct as well?

Yeah. Yeah, right on. Yeah. I mean, everybody does. I think that's true.

Like I feel sometimes people are not into it. But I feel like, I mean, are you finding that like having worked now and done a lot of stuff now that you're realizing, like, oh, I want more control and what I what I do and how I like that. But I also I had my first movie ever was a female director. And then I actually ended up working with more female directors than male directors as a teenager. It was like really like not formidable formidable.

Yeah, for me. Forming formidable. It was farming culture for me. So that made me like realize. I got to get this word.

It's formidable. No, it's like a formative formative. Formative. Informative? Well, it's a formative.

What I mean is like a formative. Formative. Is that what it is? Formative? Yeah, here we go.

Formative. Something that relates to formation or development is shaping and influencing something else. That is precisely what I mean. Yeah, we did it. Yeah.

So it was formative that I realized that that was even like possible for me to do it. So I had wanted to do it since I was a teenager. So then when I went into movies in my 20s and now, I always tell the director and then they include me and a lot of them have been really nice and like included me in the process. Let me see like post and all that stuff. What is important for you when you work?

I want to escape and just like dive in and I want other people to handle the stuff. Do you like the logistics of the work? Oh, I do like the logistics. You do. Like you like a call sheet.

You like knowing what's happening. Yeah, but I think that's like a woman's brain. Yeah. It's just like it's really my producing partner and I've been on sets together since we were 21. And we fuck up a call sheet.

I mean, when I have like a friend that's going to go do something, I'm like send me your call sheet. I'll get you two days. We just know how to make it make sense. It's divine. So I like the logistics.

I also I need to connect and have friends immediately. I got to dive in and find the camera guys. I got to find like who my people are going to be. That's so interesting. You got to.

Yeah, because you're like we're going to be not a photo shoot. Right. Photo shoot. I don't want you to talk to me. I just want I just want.

I totally agree. I just want it to be over as fast as possible. And it's just all of it's so embarrassing. You know, like put your hand like this. Or if you're considered a funny person, the worst part is they're like, we have a bunch of props.

Oh no. You give us a round of shoes for you. You fucking clap. You fucking clap. But it's so true.

I've not been a minitutes where like a chill goes down. And they're like, just it's always a whisper. Oh, there's a bunch of fun props. If you want to play with them in any game. If you want to play with them.

You're like, oh no. It's like a time only pop and I go to check in. Yeah, like that's not going to come naturally today. Like if you want me to pull on a rubber chicken, I will, but you have to direct me to pull on it. The other thing is like, we have a really fun idea.

You have all this barbecue sauce on your face. Oh no. It's always it's always like we're going to humiliate you. Yeah. And you're going to just you're going to smile your way through it.

You're such a good time. Right. Oh, OK. Mine are that. I'm shocked to hear that.

I mean, I'm not shocked. I mean, I'm just like, we don't think you wouldn't wear a bra for this. I'm like, I've had two children. And they're like, oh, yeah. You want me to show you something?

Because of good hang, we're always looking for a good hang. I have questions I want to ask you. I want your opinion about things. Oh, OK. I want your hot takes.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No problema. I know you like to give my taste. Yeah.

And I want these important things. OK. I got to take it easy on the housewife. So I always get like, OK, I'm going to tell you something. I don't know how much on housewives.

OK, no, no, no. It's fine. I mean, that's good. You like below deck? Yeah, I go.

First question. If you were on below deck, what would you want your job to be? Which of the jobs? Oh, a stew. Cheesets.

Oh, no. No. No, I would go into that laundry. And I'd fuck that laundry up. I'd put a podcast in.

I'd steam. I'd fold. I'd have a system. I'd have a color-coded system. I don't know.

I mean, people never want to go down into the laundry and below deck. And it's like, why? You don't have to talk to any of the people. You're there by yourself. Yeah, I'm alone.

And again, I would put one in your pot and listen to some murder. And I'd just fucking fuck that shit up. It'd be so satisfying. Yeah. And also doing like, doing turn down would be one of the most satisfying things, getting the lines in the vacuum perfectly.

Do you have like, are you an earth sign? What's your, what, what, you've got like a? Malio. Oh, so, OK, so you've got, but you have a lot of grounded. You like organizing.

You like, straightening. Not organizing. Not organizing. Your house neat. Well, I mean, if you look at my bedside table, I'm going to look at my husband's bedside table.

Mine is an explosion. It kills everywhere. I mean, I look like I'm not going to. Like, what's, what is her malady? And my husband's like, just a bottle of water.

Yeah. OK, but you like, but I do, I get satisfied once. It's like time to clean up. You like a good, you get like a good system. Yeah.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. And then, OK, another question is, do you have a nickname? Flaufen, nitro, boobs. Boobs Lawrence, the full government name. Nitro.

Yeah. I mean, nitro. I love that you. Oh, and my friends call me Ken from the Barbie movies. I'm just Ken.

I think it's their way of calling me stupid. It's whenever I ask something stupid. They're like, she's just Ken. You have two older brothers. Yeah.

And what was it like growing up with older brothers? Do you feel like there's a thing that happens to, like what's the good part about having two older brothers? Is there one? There, I mean, I mean, they were great. They were really protective, you know, not with themselves.

Right. They're like, you know. They didn't make you like tough. Yeah, I think it made me tough. As the mother of sons, I will say, and you're going to eventually notice this too.

Because you had brothers, the way boys and young boys talk to each other won't be a shocking. No. You're going to use to it. No, in fact, I find myself doing anything. I do too.

And that's kind of a love language. Like when I've noticed the way that you interact with people that you work with, it also feels like you turn people into brothers. Like it feels like I do. Like Josh Huxson was a brother. It feels like Robert Pence.

It feels like a brother. Yeah. Oh, you're so right. OK. Doritos, your opinion.

Love them. Me too. Cool. I mean, but now I'm older and I think about like what in it. I mean, not if I'm like, I'm playing it if I'm going to play it and I see it on the right.

I know. I know it's going to get eight. But yeah. But I do think about it more. OK.

Do you do any impressions? No. Do I? No, I don't think so. I feel like I've seen you do.

I feel like I've seen you do. Who do I also have some impressions? But no. I have to text you. Oh, do you want to do the game that we do?

We do this game as an L, which is it's like do it or die. And it's basically, you don't have to do it. We can cut it. But it's really fun to play. And you can do it to me too, which you just give someone a name.

And they have to do it. I'd have to do an impression in 10 seconds. It doesn't have to be good. Great. I got it if you don't do it.

You're ready? And you're a We. Me? I would love to see a recut version of him not saying, are you talking to me? But just go in.

Me? I mean, I was the coldest day you've ever had on set. And the hottest day you've ever had on set. Coldest was, I mean, I know like the real answer was like, you know, one of the Hunger Games movies, where I was like, I was actually in Calgary doing the dye my love because it was August. So it was supposed to be warm.

And so there wasn't like, there weren't like warming coats or anything. And I'm just in like a t-shirt or whatever. And so that was the coldest. That is a different. My heart made me want to cry.

This proves my theory that Marty Short, you did cry because you were so cold. Yeah. This proves my theory that I said to Marty Short, like it's never warm in Canada, never. And it's always fucking freezing. And it's freezing in August always.

And Canadians pretend like, oh, we had a really nice day. And it's like you did not have a nice day. And you were very cold. It's really cold. When you're cold and you cry on set.

And then I cried on set. I cried on my trailer to Justine. She was like, what's wrong? And I was like, I'm just feeling really cold. I just pregnant.

I just remembered. Yeah. Of course I cried. I probably cried every day. Yeah, that movie seems like there's a lot of tears.

It was fun to play somebody. But you have to do some stuff, man. You have to go for it in some movies. And I'm like, this is hard. Screaming all day, crying all day.

All day. Hard, but you're so blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Me?

I'm blessed. I'm talking to me. I'm blessed. How to stay on set. How to stay on set.

How to time you remember working. And it was really hot. No, I know what you mean. I answered the first one. I obviously got the con for the context together.

Maybe you were thinking about something that I wanted to cook. I think it was the first Hunger Games. Yeah, the first Hunger Games were shooting in North Carolina. It was humid. And we had those jackets on.

Oh, yeah. And you had to run in the jackets. And then running in the jackets. Yeah. Speaking of running, I feel like my next question, like what I love about you is how you don't feel like your competitive with other actresses.

And you really wish for other people's success. But in a foot race, who would win between you and Emma Stone? She's got like really tiny bones. And I just have very thick bones. So what does that mean for running?

That's hard to know because smaller than her bones. You might be faster out of the gate. I think if I got a clock in, I'd knock her out. Like 200%. Emma, if you're listening, but you would definitely knock her out.

I mean, I could take her out. If it was like a fight or a wrestle, she'd stunt me. But running, I don't know because I don't know if her hollow bones give her an advantage. Yeah. Karaoke, what'd you go to?

Any man of mine, Shania Twain. Hmm. I don't know that one. This is where your Kentucky comes in. Oh.

Any man of mine. Yeah. Look how cute she is. I still don't know this. Oh.

You like it, right? Do the woof. Yeah, of course. Just wear it on the looks. Any man of mine better be proud of me.

And even when I'm ugly, still better love me. And I can be late for a date. That's fine, buddy. Better be on time. Woo.

Any man of mine say it's just right when I'm listening. Can you hear his words? It's just a little too tight and anything. I better say better be OK when I hide about her day. And if I change my mind, I'm million times.

I want to hear him say, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's going on? You're good.

I know. Really good. He's very good. I love karaoke too. Yeah.

And I'm on key. You're on key. Did you ever sit? Did you ever? You're a good singer?

No. That's not true. I just heard it. I know you did. I know you did.

OK. Anyway, moving on. All right. Have you ever been awarded a middle or high school superlative? Middle school or high school?

Most talkative. Two years in a row. 30 or I left. I was a few years ago. You got to get on.

Yeah. Talk to my way right out of the building. Most talkative. Yeah. Most talkative.

And for me, the three that were like cousins were talkative class clown and mischievous. They all were together. We didn't have those. We had talkative best smile because I remember not getting that one. You were going for that one.

No, I was going for Ms. Cameron. Ms. What? Ms. Cameron.

Cameron is the name of the school. This is like the world. The Harvard were. I knew they missed camera. Camera.

Camera school. Was it a KAM and ERR camera in the school? I went to school. OK. We kind of went over this already.

Horses. Yes or no? Yes. OK. Do you do that crazy thing where you insist on doing your own stunts?

No. And have you ever? I feel like OK, great. Just keep that up. OK.

Best album or song of the year? What are you listening to that you love? Oh, I don't know any current music. Once they got rid of the radio, I really. I didn't know.

I'm an alibiist. What do you know what's coming out? I just have my phone. But what part of my phone has podcast? I mean, playlist.

Do not listen to do not listen to like you don't listen to live music on your phone. Honestly, I usually learn about new music from Instagram or TikTok that I then go and buy. The Lilial and I don't know when this podcast is coming out in the future. But the Lilial and I will an album dropped a couple of weeks ago. And we love it.

So good. Yeah. So good. I didn't know I was a pussy ballast. And Monaga Mommy.

Monaga Mommy. So good. Yeah. And tennis might be my favorite. She's so so tough.

She's so tough. I feel like this. I was just saying something like I feel like the pop stars, like they're just the female pops. Like they're just dominating every area. I know Charlie XCX is so cool.

I know. Do you know her? I feel like you guys would hang out. I don't know her. I mean, would she hang out with me?

I don't know. I don't know. I would just call her up. I would. OK.

So let me talk about your movie, Die My Love, which looks amazing. And you, once again, if I haven't made it clear, you're so good at acting. Thank you very much. That's really, really nice. And you really aren't doing the thing you're meant to do.

Thank you. Yeah. And do you feel that? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, definitely. Do you feel like it was a rare at a time when you thought there's anything else I would want to do? It just feels like every time I'm on a press tour. Like, how does it feel? Yes.

Yeah. It just doesn't feel like how does anybody like this? Yeah. Do you feel like when you get on set? Do you feel, or when you're really in the work, you feel super relaxed?

Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's hard, and you're tired, and you'd rather be home. Yeah. But you're into it. Yeah. So in the end of that.

This process seemed really cool. Like Lynn and you and Robert seem like you guys. Lynn Ramsey, the director, seemed like Q3 had some kind of way of working that seemed really creative and cool. Was that true? Yeah.

It was cool. Because Lynn and I talked about it for years before we really had a script. So I felt like we had had so many conversations about this person and about her circumstances. That by the time we got there, there was just a lot of freedom. It was kind of scary, like an improv-y type of situation.

I was just like, oh, that's kind of like, under what terms? I know. I guess circumstances. But it was really, really fulfilling. I was challenging it on nice way.

And you're playing somebody's kind of like descending into madness madness. And when you're playing something like that, do you track, you know, are you always trying to figure out like where is she at in this scene? Like how far has she gone? Kind of. I thought that I was going to have to do that a little bit more.

But it ended up just being like finding the truth of what she was saying. Like in the moment, which I think sometimes it didn't end up being as, I don't know, like crazy as I thought. But the costumes helped with that because I think they like move from a different place. And so at first, she dresses really differently and sticks out. And then as she stays there, she starts to blend in with the community.

And so that was a good way that I could mark kind of like where the headspace would be. That's a very cool idea, right, that you're realizing I'm wearing this pair of pants, which reminds me that I'm in this. But I've been here for like eight months. And it's kind of getting back full circle that we're talking about clothes. I do feel like clothes like there are certain outfits, for example, that I wore during COVID, that I cannot wear again.

Because they just. Oh, because of COVID. Oh, it's like when you wear like work pants and then they get ruined because of the work pants. Yeah, broken up with in a shirt. And you can never wear it again.

Like clothes hold some memory. Yeah. But you got to just get them right out of there. You got to get them out of there. Yeah.

OK, we've mentioned you're producing partner, Justine, a few times. We have? You have mentioned her twice. Oh my god. Yeah.

And she's like your best, like a really long time friend. Tell us about her. She's, yeah, my best friend. We met right after I did winter's mountain, so I was 19. And we fell in love with movies.

We read together. We discovered what white men nana. So I was like, so I think our consciousness woke up together. And she was always like, she was my roommate when I started getting really famous. And she was really, I think I credit her a lot with why I didn't start getting too big for my britches or anything, because everything was really real with her.

And she's just, I'm really lucky to have her. I feel really, I love her a lot. I feel loved by her. I trust her completely. I trust her taste.

She's also a really hard worker. She likes hard work. So I'm really lucky. I wouldn't normally recommend working with friends, but in our case, it's worked out nice. You guys started a production company, Excellent Kid Abber.

You produced. About six or seven years ago. A bunch, you've been working together for a long time, and your company's produced a bunch of amazing films, including Causeway, which I think was one of my most favorite things I've ever seen you do. I've been watching that. Thank you.

So good. Thanks. For people who haven't seen it, check it out. It's you and Ryan Tyree Henry. Ryan Tyree Henry, incredible from Atlanta, and many other things, incredible actor.

And you two play vets who are kind of physically spiritually struggling and back home. And it's such a good and Atlanta is an amazing director. Lila Nugabauer, it was her first film, which is big theater director. And she's great. So I'm going to make your is itchy.

No, but you know, itchy ears are signed up. Perry Menopause. So congrats. Oh, congrats. We'll cut that.

Oh, no, we'll double that. We're going to make it really loud. Yeah. It's just like the preview. We're going to underline it with me.

We're here with Perry Menopause suffrage. I always thought it'd be a good drag name, by the way, as Perry Menopause. Oh, it is. That really is. But anyway, we talked to Justine.

You did? Yes. Oh, because we do this thing where we have people talk about our guests and talk well behind their back and give me a question to ask them. And I talked to Justine today. I should have listened to this podcast.

I know why I'm so surprised. I'm surprised. She had a really good question. I thought, which was basically like, what do you want to talk about? She was like, ask Jen what she wants to talk about and what she's sick of talking about.

Oh, that's nice. That was a good friend question. I'm sick of talking about the movie. Yeah, great. We're going to cut it out.

And I want to talk about. What are we not talking about that you want to talk about? Oh, I think we've covered it. We've talked about things that I would have never known that I wanted to talk about that I wanted to talk about. Yeah.

So I can answer it. OK. OK. What do you listen to, watch? What do you what makes you laugh?

How do you get yourself up the elevator? Well, you make me laugh. Thank you. You're on the algorithm a lot. And you and Tina, and you guys hosted a Golden Globes that I was at.

And you were the funniest people I've ever seen in my life. You made me proud to be a woman. Was that when we said that American Hustle was the title of? The way that it was. The way that we could actually.

Yeah. But what do you listen to? Read, watch. Who makes you laugh? I watch VEEP.

Oh, yeah. So we interviewed Julia recently. You did? Oh. I called her the LeBron James of comedy.

She has won so many championships with different teams, and she rejected that. Oh. She wouldn't accept that title. That's so her. I mean, what if she was like, thank you.

I know. Yeah, she's a hero of mine. I love Modern Family. Are you like a true millennial? And you watch things that you've watched before just like, of course.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm Gen Z, and I don't know what they do. I used to love your vibes. I used to love your vibes.

Because you're both. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like we covered so much good stuff. Yeah. I feel great about this interview.

I do too. I can't wait for it to come out. I'm going to be the first to watch. The last question is, I know you do like a lot of reality TV. What show would you want to be on of all of them?

Well, I mean, want to be on them. I guess the Kardashians. Because then I'd be like on a private plane going to like Fiji. That's true for a close. Because the other ones, like, they're not, they're not like having a good time.

Yeah, like there's no comfort. Yeah. You're right. You're right. Maybe, yeah, because you just mentioned amazing race.

And I feel like sometimes there's like a little part of me. Of course. I tried doing Bear Girls. You did? And they really let you?

No, what happened was I was determined to do it. I ended up getting pregnant. And I, but I was still going to do it. And then I texted my OBGY. And I was like, hey, so I'm going to be doing Bear Girls.

I'm like 17. Is there anything I should like tell them? And he was like, you're not doing that. I was like, I don't know. And then I just, after.

Do you know the show alone? Are you alone? I love alone. Oh my god, building the fortresses, building the cabins. Oh, isn't building the houses.

Isn't that the part that you want to do most? And if I may, the amount of energy that people build on their houses is fascinating. Because some people, you're like, you're going to get way too tired. This house is too nice. You're burning a lot of calories.

Yeah. Other people, it's like, you're sleeping under a tarp for six weeks. Like you got to get your house together. What's wrong with you? I know.

The in between about is fascinating to me. Yeah, the bugs. Ooh. It was really satisfying when you're a guy, white man, didn't bring a fire starter. Because he was just like, I can do it.

I saw that one. That was really satisfying. That was really satisfying. I also love the men that come on really strong and immediately like twist and ankle. Yeah, I do.

Or the other thing that takes them down, they're stomachs. I'm surprised that they don't have them just go with Sipro. Like Sipro isn't just like in there. Maybe they do. Maybe they do.

But I mean, they do. They get diarrhea immediately. They get diarrhea immediately. Immediately. I need diarrhea immediately.

But they, I mean, and men are just, they cannot handle. When they don't feel good, they just everything falls the fuck apart. So they're just like, I don't feel good. And you're like, see, like a dude. And the women are just weaving baskets and staying there for 100 days.

Yeah. Anyway, Jennifer Lawrence. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me.

Thank you for spending time here today. I think I've overstayed my welcome. If you want any food from the back of the board. What if I just grabbed your favorite? I just grabbed a stick of the stick of the stick of the stick.

I was like, thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jennifer Lawrence. That was so fun. And, and thanks for being here.

And, you know, for this polar plunge, I always like to dig a little deeper on something that we spoke of in the podcast. And I would just highly recommend that you watch Causeway. It's such a great film. Jennifer's so good in it. Brian, Tyree, Henry is so good in it.

Incredible actor directed by Lila Neuigabauer. And it's just really, really good. It's just, I don't know. I just loved it. I think you will too.
