Jennifer Lawrence went on to regret not listening to her close pal Adele
Jennifer Lawrence turned to her friend Adele for advice, and regretted not taking it.
Brit-born ‘Rolling in the Deep’ hitmaker Adele has dozens of A-list pals. Some of the most famous faces she’s become acquainted with since leaving the UK’s colder climes for California include Nicole Ricci, Emma Stone, John Mayer, and Cameron Diaz.
Elsewhere she has also struck up a friendship with Jennifer Lawrence and the pair are apparently so close that the actor turned to the singer to ask her if she thought she should take a movie role or not.
The film is question was 2016’s Passengers and, spoiler alert, Lawrence starred in it as Aurora.
Chris Pratt played her love interest Jim, with the pair meeting on a spaceship to ‘Homestead II’.
The movie’s synopsis reads: “During a voyage to a distant planet, Jim’s hypersleep pod malfunctions which wakes him up. So, he and fellow passenger work together to prevent their spaceship from meeting with a disaster.”
Passengers achieved a feeble 30 percent score Rotten Tomatoes score, and Lawrence previously opened up about how she ‘should have listened’ to the ‘Hello’ singer.
The movie grossed $300 million worldwide, and it cost $110 million to make.
Speaking to The New York Times, Lawrence addressed how she ended up working on less-successful movies following The Hunger Games.
Noting her fans’ dismay when her movies flopped, she said: “I was like, ‘Oh no, you guys are here because I’m here, and I’m here because you’re here. Wait, who decided that this was a good movie?'”
Noting Passengers as an example of this, she went on: “Adele told me not to do it! She was like, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.'”
“I should have listened to her,” Lawrence added.
The actor later admitted that she felt like people started to get ‘sick’ of her.
“I was not pumping out the quality that I should have. I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me,” Lawrence said.
“It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?'”
While she’s been quite critical of her career at times, Lawrence’s three Golden Globes, two SAGS, and her Academy Award prove that people are far from ‘sick’ of seeing her.
