Jennifer Lawrence found herself at the center of online attention after a funny and casual comment caught the eye of her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio during a recent interview.
The heartfelt moment happened while Don’t look up stars appeared together on Variety’s Actors on Actors series where they talked about their careers, work styles and long history in Hollywood.
However, the conversation remained very casual until it turned to more personal topics.
During the discussion, Lawrence told DiCaprio she thought he would “look good as a father” and said she was surprised he didn’t have a teenage daughter.
The unexpected remark caused an awkward laugh from the 51-year-old Titanic actor, a reaction that quickly went viral in no time from the interview.
Social media users were quick to react, with some viewers finding the exchange funny and warm, saying the 35-year-old actress sounded genuine and kind.
While others described the feelings of embarrassment, pointed to DiCaprio’s surprised response and brief pause.
Many fans stepped in to defend Lawrence, arguing that the comment didn’t seem calculated or offensive on purpose, and it just happened for a question.
Away from the viral moment, the interview revealed more about how both actors work, with DiCaprio admitting that he often throws out a lot of ideas on set, even if it slows things down.
While Lawrence shared that she likes to completely disconnect after filming each day, even if it means going back the next morning.
Lawrence and DiCaprio last worked together in Don’t look up and are expected to reunite for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming thriller What Happens at Night.
