Jennifer Lawrence, 31, has since commented on the comical element of improvisation that can be seen throughout the film, reminiscing about her time on set spent working with co-star Jonah Hill, 38.

The actress recalled spending a whole day on the Don’t Look Up set with Hill as he improvised various insults to be thrown her way, yet interestingly she framed the experience in a positive light, admitting that she had a great time doing it.

In an interview for the Vanity Fair YouTube channel, Lawrence explained the film’s trailer and revealed that ‘Jonah’s character is the President’s son, but also the Chief-of-Staff, which some might think is nepotism'.

She goes on to say: "He is the worst. It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing."

Continuing, the actress detailed: "We one time dedicated an entire day to him just improv-ing insults at me. It was amazing.

"He and Meryl are the only ones who really should do that kind of improv. I mean, he’s just a comedic master. We all did some stuff. Just not as well as Jonah."

McKay’s Netflix film has been available for streaming since Dec 24.
