Jennifer Lawrence, she’s just like us! Because who hasn’t ejected Robert De Niro from their wedding? Well, in theory, J-Law didn’t kick him out of the nuptials — she axed De Niro from her rehearsal dinner the night before after her anxiety reached peak levels.
Lawrence opened up about her super stressful wedding woes in an interview with E! News. The actor, who starred with De Niro in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” 2013’s “American Hustle” and 2015’s “Joy,” admitted she 86’d the octogenarian for his own good. “I looked over, and I saw Bob, who doesn’t know anybody, and he’s kind of wandering around, and I immediately was like, ‘No, this isn’t what he wants to be doing. I don’t want him here,'” J-Law explained. “So I went over and whispered, I was like, ‘Go home,’ and he was nice.”
Lawrence said that despite De Niro appearing like a fish out of water, he still managed to turn on the old Hollywood charm while there. “He like talked to my parents and was polite — but I was like, ‘Go.'” Luckily for J-law, De Niro took it all on the chin. In fact, he told People that he enjoyed himself and didn’t feel in the slightest bit awkward. “I wasn’t [uncomfortable]… It was fine. I mean, I only came for that part of it anyway,” he insisted. “It was nice! It wasn’t that long — maybe I stayed an hour, if that.”
