Jennifer Lawrence admitted her wedding was “stressful” and cold during the rehearsal dinner. She said everyone told her they were warm enough but her mom was brutally honest and told the 33-year-old the truth: “It’s freezing.” She then stated she was worried about Robert, 80.

“It’s so stressful,” J Law said. “You’re not having fun. You’re just like, ‘Is that person having fun?”

“I’ll never forget – I was freaking out about the guests being cold,” she shared. “All of my friends were lying they’re like, ‘Nobody’s cold, nobody’s cold, everything’s fine, everything’s fine.'”

The movie actress continued: “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,’ so I went over and whispered. I was like, ‘Go home’ and he was nice – he like talked to my parents and was polite – but I was like, ‘Go.'”

She said once the Taxi Driver star was ggone,one it “genuinely made me feel better.”

Jennifer nearly called off the wedding

Robert De Niro’s presence wasn’t the only thing Jennifer Lawrence was uncertain about. She has previously opened up about being “so happy she stayed” despite wanting to cancel the wedding.

The Don’t Look Up star admitted: “When you don’t fully know yourself, you have no idea where to put yourself. And then I met my husband, and he was like, ‘Put yourself here.’ I was like, ‘That feels right, but what if it’s not?’

“When I’m home with my husband making this family, I’m so happy I stayed. I’m so happy I didn’t freak out and cancel the wedding and run away and go, ‘I’ll never be taken down!’” she told The New York Times in 2022.

In a 2019 episode of the podcast Naked with Catt Sadler she gushed about her now-husband, calling him “the greatest human being I’ve ever met.”

“I don’t know, I started with the basics, you know, ‘How do I feel? Is he nice? Is he kind?’” the celebrity told Catt. “It’s just this is The One, I know that sounds really stupid but … We wanted to marry each other, we wanted to commit fully and he’s my best friend and so I want to legally bind him to me forever.”
