Jennifer Lawrence’s appearance on the widely watched YouTube series Hot Ones, hosted by the charismatic Sean Evans, provided fans with a rare and candid insight into her sense of humor and her unapologetically playful approach to her on-screen relationships. The host addresses the now-infamous garlic-and-tuna-fueled kiss she shared with her co-star Liam Hemsworth during the filming of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.

Rather than shying away from the peculiar tale, Jennifer Lawrence embraced it with a hearty laugh, demonstrating her ability to find amusement in even the most unconventional situations. Instead of feeling the need to deny the claim or downplay the incident, she acknowledged it proudly. Lawrence told on Hot Ones,

“It was just, like, what I was eating, and then we’d kiss! He should just, you know, get over it.”

Jennifer Lawrence remained steadfast in her stance, making it abundantly clear that there was absolutely no intention on her part to indulge in smelly foods like garlic and tuna before kissing her co-star, Liam Hemsworth. To her, the incident was purely coincidental, and the humorous twist that it added to their on-screen chemistry was nothing more than an unforeseen consequence.

Liam Hemsworth, who played Gale Hawthorne in the film series, had previously shared his humorous take on their on-screen kisses, describing them as memorable but not for the reasons one might expect. It’s safe to say that the flavors of garlic and tuna weren’t typically associated with romantic kisses. Hemsworth’s candid revelation left fans intrigued, and they eagerly awaited Jennifer Lawrence’s side of the story. Hemsworth told on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,

“Anytime I had to kiss Jennifer, it was pretty uncomfortable. She’s one of my best friends, I love her. But, if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was so disgusting. Right before the scene, she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I had tuna’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’”

However, despite the occasional mishaps and unconventional moments like the garlic-infused kiss, Lawrence emphasized that their time working together on the four Hunger Games movies was far from unpleasant. In fact, the trio of leads, consisting of Lawrence, Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson, formed a close-knit bond over the years.

The Hunger Games is available on Hulu.
