Jennifer Lawrence's Funniest Interactions With A-List Celebs

During her acting hiatus, Jennifer Lawrence tied the knot with her partner, Cooke Maroney, in 2019. Expectedly, before the wedding ceremony, the couple hosted a rehearsal dinner. As celebrities do, Lawrence invited her celebrity friends to the dinner, including Robert De Niro, whom she shared the screen with in "American Hustle" and "Silver Linings Playbook." However, Lawrence actually told the "Goodfellas" star to go home after he showed up.

In an interview with E! News at the 2024 Golden Globes, Lawrence explained that her mother was concerned about the cold venue where the dinner was being held. While ensuring everyone was warm, Lawrence noticed De Niro, or Bob, as she refers to him, looking a bit out of place. "[He] doesn't know anybody, and he's kind of wandering around," she painted the scene. Feeling he might not be enjoying himself, Lawrence thought, "No, this isn't what he wants to be doing. I don't want him here."

So, she literally told him to leave. Yes, you read that right. However, De Niro didn't take it personally and likely wanted to head home in the first place if he didn't know many people at the event. Lawrence explained, "He was nice. He talked to my parents and was polite, but I was like, 'Go.'" As the encounter was unfortunately not caught on camera, we can only imagine Lawrence's horrified expression as she realized the Hollywood legend wasn't having fun and De Niro's relieved look when given permission to leave.
