Jennifer Lawrence admitted she found it ‘really, really hard’ to film with Jonah Hill

They were part of the stacked cast in a 2021 Netflix film

With another movie having recently landed in cinemas, Jennifer Lawrence has quite the list of impressive projects to her name.

And as a consequence, she’s got a boat load of big name past co-stars too.

From Robert Pattinson in Die My Love and Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook, to Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games, there’s one actor she found it ‘really, really hard’ to film with.

To be fair, given the track record of Hollywood and well, certain people in the industry, you might not exactly be surprised to hear that Lawrence has faced some difficulty. Although, you might be surprised to hear that it’s the funnyman, Jonah Hill.

You’ll be reassured to hear that she didn’t find it ‘hard’ because he’s a pr*ck though but rather the opposite.

Lawrence and Hill starred alongside each other in the 2021 Netflix film Don’t Look Up.

In that sci-fi comedy, the Superbad star played White House Chief of Staff Jason Orlean with Lawrence as astronomer Kate Dibiasky. The ensemble cast was also made up with the likes of Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett. And the No Hard Feelings actor shared some of her memories from behind-the-scenes in an interview with Vanity Fair.

"It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing,” the star explained. “We one-time dedicated an entire day to him just improv-ing insults at me. It was amazing."

Lawrence went on to praise Hill's talent for improv, adding that 'he and 'Meryl were the only ones who should do that kind of improv'.

"I mean, he's just a comedic master. I mean we all did some [improv] just not as well as Jonah," the actor continues.

One scene that featured in Don’t Look Up’s trailer shows Hill's character telling Lawrence and DiCaprio's to: "Sit tight and assess.

“The sit tight comes first then you've got to digest it, that's the assessment period," he said.

Lawrence reflected: "See? That wasn't in the script Jonah."

And while filming it sounded like a barrel of laughs, J-Law does remind fans that the film’s sentiment is a lot more serious.

When asked what the 'biggest thing' people take away from the film should be, she replied: "To stop handling information the way that we do now, where there's like the truth and science and then politics, or you know, personal feelings involved.

"You know, we should all just be on the same page of, you know, taking care of our planet, and taking care of mankind. World peace would be my hope.”
