Jennifer Lawrence Opens Up About Hosting 'SNL'
In a recent episode of “Las Culturistas,” Jennifer Lawrence shared candid insights about her experiences and projects. Among the revelations, she and Emma Stone are producing a Miss Piggy movie, and Lawrence confessed she didn't require an intimacy coordinator for her scenes with Robert Pattinson, calling him “not pervy.” She also expressed regret about not getting Botox before filming No Hard Feelings and amusingly compared the Boleyn sisters to Ashlee and Jessica Simpson.
Behind the Scenes of 'SNL'
Since co-host Bowen Yang was part of the show, the conversation touched on Saturday Night Live. Matt Rogers and Bowen shared a humorous tactic from their friend Sudi Green, a former SNL writer, to handle strangers pitching sketch ideas. They respond,
“Even if we did take your idea, it would be a huge legal problem because the waiter could sue us later.”This always discourages persistent pitch attempts.
Lawrence also recalled meeting Mark Ronson, where she impulsively sang her original song about a street sweeper. She said,
“I don’t know what I was expecting, but he was just like, ‘Nice to meet you.’”
Reflecting on Her 'SNL' Hosting
Bowen Yang asked Jennifer about her sole experience hosting SNL back in 2013 at age 22. Though Bowen praised her, Lawrence disagreed with the compliment, stating,
“No, I wasn’t.”The episode didn't go well, but she didn't blame herself for it.
Summary
Jennifer Lawrence openly discussed her varied projects and gave a humble, honest take on her brief and challenging experience hosting SNL.
