10 More Movie Scenes More Real Than You Think

10. Jennifer Lawrence Was Legitimately High - Don't Look Up

During Adam McKay's Netflix apocalyptic satire known as Don't Look Up, Jennifer Lawrence's Kate Dibiasky, who discovers a comet heading towards the planet, is seen getting high to calm her nerves.

And as revealed by Lawrence herself, she wasn't always required to do that much acting in the scenes that involved the character sharing a room with the likes of Meryl Streep's President Janie Orlean after enjoying a quick smoke.

The actor and her director both openly admitted during a post-screening Q&A back in 2021 (via Yahoo! Entertainment) that J-Law very much got high before filming one particular scene with Streep as her character didn't have any scripted lines and McKay promised to not fire any unexpected improvisation his star's way.

Lawrence was quick to emphasise how her character "was getting high in the movie,” and she wasn't simply opting to get high for the hell of it. (And she also asks that you don't let her mother-in-law know about her method acting.)

So, the next time you take in a rather silent Lawrence sharing a scene with other acting royalty like Streep during this end-of-the-world black comedy, know that her slightly stoned stares are actually 100% authentic.
