Jennifer Lawrence ‘Shouted’ at Jared Leto After Actor Called Out Her Oscar Act: ‘What, is this funny?’
- Jennifer Lawrence made history by falling over at the Academy Awards two years in a row.
- Lawrence asked why Jared Leto was laughing when she got on the stage at the 86th Academy Awards.
- Leto revealed that Ellen DeGeneres was poking fun at Lawrence which made him laugh.
Jennifer Lawrence is easily one of the most famous actresses in the world, thanks to her roles in The Hunger Games trilogy and the X-Men movies. Besides her phenomenal acting skills, she is also known for her top-notch humor and her falls at the Academy Awards two years in a row- 2013 when she tripped on her way to the stage and 2014 when she tripped before the ceremony. The latter one might surprise some, but it indeed happened twice.
Falling over in public is one thing, but falling over in a room full of Hollywood A-listers who have their eyes trained on you certainly cannot be the most flattering feeling. The fact that it happened twice in a row made Jared Leto suspicious.
That said, Lawrence was not very impressed to see him laughing when she took the stage in 2014 sans the tripping so she demanded to know what Leto was laughing at, and it turns out he was not completely at fault for his actions.
Jennifer Lawrence Called Out Jared Leto for Laughing
The 85th Academy Awards was quite eventful. This was the first time a sitting First Lady had announced an Oscar. Adele almost made tears fall with her first live-on-stage performance of the song Skyfall from the eponymous James Bond film. Anne Hathaway won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Les Misérables.
These are things that people might have forgotten, but they can never forget that Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way while walking up the staircase to accept her Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. She even joked about it in her speech in her pale pink Dior Haute Couture gown.
Fast forward to 2014, she got on the stage to present the Oscar for Best Actor (via Oscars) and noticed someone laughing in the audience. She went off-script and said: “Why are you laughing? What, is this funny? Oh, okay.” She started presenting the award and stopped abruptly to say, “I am still watching you,” before continuing with presenting the award.
At the time, who she was talking to was a mystery. Luckily, it was solved when Matthew McConaughey, whom Lawrence presented the Best Actor award, entered the press backroom (via On Demand Entertainment). A reporter assumed that he was the subject of the actress’ remarks and asked him what it was about. The Interstellar actor clarified that it was Jared Leto and not him.
Jared Leto Called Out Jennifer Lawrence’s Falls at the Oscars
The No Hard Feelings actress fell on the red carpet before the 86th Academy Awards ceremony began. She was trying to navigate the carpet in her red Dior dress and accidentally tripped over a cone. The moment immediately went viral.
The Dallas Buyers Club actor Jared Leto refused to buy that it was an accident as he expressed his suspicions while joking to Access Hollywood (via US Weekly):
You know, I’m starting to wonder if this is a bit of an act.
As for why he was laughing when Lawrence took the stage later that night, he explained:
She said, ‘What are you laughing at?’ But what she didn’t know was that Ellen was on the side…making, pantomiming [motions like], ‘Don’t fall, don’t fall,’ and my mom and my brother are all cracking up. I guess we don’t have any manners. You can take them out of Louisiana but you can’t take Louisiana out of them, right?
Neither Leto nor Lawrence seemed to do what they did in a malicious way. It was just them having fun in their own way by poking fun at each other. Hopefully, they can have a laugh about it when they cross paths again, assuming they already haven’t.
