Jennifer Lawrence on Causeway & Meeting Ariana Grande | W Magazine
In Causeway, Jennifer Lawrence plays a soldier with a traumatic brain injury facing the challenges of returning home, in the kind of quietly emotional role she first became known for with Winter’s Bone. Off-screen, the actress is as candidly goofy as ever. For W’s Best Performances issue, the four-time Oscar nominee and Best Actress winner talks about being starstruck by Ariana Grande, parallel parking and the silly voices she uses with her cat.

I would get pretty starstruck if I saw, like, the biggest celebrities to me in the world
are like Pete Davidson or like Ariana Grande was in Don't Look Up and I got photographed
with her.
I look fully like a radio contest winner.
I'm like, I'd be starstruck if I saw Jessica Simpson.
Yeah, that would knock me over.
She made a video for my birthday one time.
I don't think I have any skills whatsoever.
I can parallel park.
Line up your rearview mirror with the car that's in front of you and then cut it and
then cut again and that's how you parallel park.
Do you love to parallel park?
No, but I can.
What voice do you speak to your pet in?
Oh, Fred.
I talk to him like this because he's a fat, fat, gluttonous boy.
Do you have a pet name for him?
We have many.
Mostly Kitty.
Fred.
Well, Frank.
Kitty, the boy, and Frank.
And what film makes you cry?
I'm so sensitive now that I can barely watch anything.
Anything with children or animals, being hurt or not loved properly is too upsetting.
Father of the Bride always makes me cry.
Yeah.
One and two.
Well, they're both Steve Martin versions, but there's one and two.
Probably not when they get married.
Maybe like when he sees her as a little girl and she's like sitting at the table and she's
like, Mommy, Daddy, I met a man in Rome and we're getting married.
Well, my sign is I'm obviously a Leo.
Leos are cocky, but generous.
Yeah, we love attention.
I'm not shy.
I'm flying today and I'm scared of flying.
If I could re-engineer something, maybe I could just tell myself I'm not scared.
You're scared ever since the time that you almost crashed?
Yeah.
Can you believe that?
Do you still scream at the end?
No.
I've gotten better about screaming.
I yelp.
At what point?
Take off.
Yeah.
Because by the time I'm landing, I'm like, come on.
There's no way.
This one may be a baby.
Wouldn't it be if you won new?
Wow.
Okay.
Jelly blub.
Obviously.
I mean, jelly blub.
Yeah.
This is pretty cool.
Some people don't know what to do with it.
You know, some people just suck.
