Jennifer Lawrence says guy she went on worst ever date with is dead now
Some things in life are inevitable - taxes, death, and going on a bad date.
And it seems Jennifer Lawrence is no exception to that rule.
The actor recently appeared on an episode of Chicken Shop Date with host Amelia Dimoldenberg as part of the press tour for her new movie No Hard Feelings.
The YouTube show takes a casual approach to interviewing, with the celebrity guest fielding questions while sat in a London chicken shop.

Dimoldenberg began by asking Lawrence: "What's the worst date you've ever been on?"
The Hunger Games star recalled: "I mean, it was my fault.
"This guy was really really cute... he's dead now actually."
Say what?
As Dimoldenberg looks unsure on how to react, Lawrence continues her story by explaining: "I laughed too hard at a joke and I kept laughing and laughing.
"It annoyed him. And everyone at the theatre.
"It wasn't even a comedy, it was just something that happened that struck my funny bone.
"I just went on and on and on... until he died."
That last bit was obviously a joke.
The identity of Lawrence's mysterious suitor has not been revealed, but it's no surprise that she has divulged this tidbit about herself.
No Hard Feelings is based around Lawrence's character Maddie who is an Uber driver that loses her car to an ex. Needing to get herself a new set of wheels, she answers an advert posted by a couple (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) who want someone to 'date' their socially awkward 19-year-old son (Andrew Barth Feldman).
If Maddie does this she'll get a car so she ends up having to try and seduce a very 'unf**kable' teenager as his parents want to bring him out of his shell.
It's safe to say it doesn't go as smoothly as Maddie hoped.
Lawrence even bared all for a fully nude scene in which her character goes skinny dipping in a desperate attempt to help the teen gain some experience.
Speaking about her decision to take on the scene, Lawrence told Variety: “Everyone in my life and my team is doing the right thing and going, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?’ I didn’t even have a second thought. It was hilarious to me.”
No Hard Feelings is out now in cinemas.
