Jennifer Lawrence Told a Press Room Kim Basinger Died

You were telling me backstage, because you have to do a lot of press for these movies, these giant movies, and you're great at it, but you were telling me when you first started, I won't, because it's a great story. You didn't really understand how to do press. There was a thing called, like, media training. Well, the media training came from, so, my first ever press conference, like, my first ever, like, moment, like, entering me into a world of messing up press conferences. It was the first one. I was there for a movie called Burning Planes, and I'm sitting next to, like, Charlize Theron and the director, Guillaume Moriarty, and... Who's in the film? Kim Basinger, me, Charlize Theron, and... Yeah, so, Kim Basinger wasn't there. We were doing an international press conference, and so somebody said, you know, like, where is Kim Basinger? And I just leaned into the microphone and was like, you didn't hear? Kim died. And then there was, like, a beat while it got translated, and then it was like... And then I got ripped off the stage, thrown into media training, which was hilarious, because I was like, Eliza Doolittle and My Fair Lady. They were like, don't sit like that. Don't talk like that. And I'm like, no! -"We have to make you into a star." Yeah. I love it. No one would understand that joke. And, obviously, it didn't take. Yeah, yeah. No, it worked. Absolutely. I don't know. Oh, please. You were in this giant... My mother just told me, like, a week ago, she was like, stop telling people that they don't have to see X-Men. I'm always like, I don't know, you know, if it feels right. You know? Do it. No pressure. I mean, you can do it whenever you want to. I mean, you can see it, or if you don't feel like doing it. We don't care, you know? I mean, we do. We'd love you to see it. They care. We don't care. We're just like, please, someone care or not. It's fine. Or don't. Or don't. Yeah, or don't. But do. But do. Uh...
