If there’s one thingJennifer Lawrencehas been appreciated for, besides her incredible acting talents, it’s her adorably hilarious relatability.
Over time, the 33-year-old actress has not only helped amass $6 billion with her movies at the box office, but she has also gained popularity for her brutally honest and often comical interviews.
Earlier this year, Jennifer highlighted her signature candid personality in a conversation about the 2017 movie, Mother!, which happens to be one of her most poorly received films.

“Within this safe environment, the once-famous middle-aged poet husband is desirous of creating his magnum opus; however, he seems unable to break out of the persistent creative rut that haunts him.
“Then, unexpectedly, a knock at the door, the sudden arrival of a cryptic late-night visitor and his intrusive wife will stimulate the writer’s stagnant imagination.
“In the end, will this incremental mess blemish, irreparably, the couple’s inviolable sanctuary?”
“Much to the perplexed wife’s surprise, the more chaos [her husband] lets in their haven, the better for his punctured male ego,” an IMDB summary for Mother! states
As intriguing as the movie may sound, critics were harsh upon its release, as many viewers were left confused.
Amongst the confused viewers, Jennifer stood out, despite sleeping with the director at the time.
As J-Law chortled in glee at the question, she said: “I’m going to be honest.
“Well, I was sleeping with the director, so I had the CliffNotes. So, five. Or four?”
Andy replied in disbelief: “Four?! Wow okay, that’s not high.”

Jennifer and director Darren formed a romantic connection while shooting Mother!, though they reportedly broke up two months after the film’s release.
In another interview, the actress admitted that the movie’s negative critics placed a burden on their relationship.
Whilespeakingto Adam Sandler for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Jennifer recalled: “Normally, I promote a movie, ask people to go see it, and then it’s just out of your hands.
“I normally just kind of let it go.
“Dating the director was different.
“We’d be on the [press] tour together, I’d come back to the hotel, and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is a movie.
“He wrote it. He conceived it. He directed it.
“I was doing double duty trying to be a supportive partner, while also being like, ‘Can I please, for the love of God, not think about Mother! for one second?’
“I finally was just like, ‘It’s not healthy.
“Neither of us are doing it because if I read it, I start getting defensive.’
“Especially because it’s my man.
“It’s awesome, what we did — some people hate it and the people who hate it, really hate it.
“But it’s nothing that needs to be defended and if I read a negative review, I just feel defensive.”

The Kentucky native has since moved on from this romance, as she started dating New York City-based art gallerist Cooke Maroney back in 2018 before getting married a year later.
