- Jennifer Lawrence says she told Robert De Niro to "go home" at her wedding rehearsal dinner.
- She spoke to E! News about her 2019 wedding while walking the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday.
- "I looked over, and I saw Bob — who doesn't know anybody," Lawrence said.
It turns out that being a bride was stressful for Jennifer Lawrence, too.
The 33-year-old actor spoke to E! News about her 2019 wedding to Cooke Maroney while walking the Golden Globes red carpet over the weekend.
"It's so stressful, you're not having fun," Lawrence told E! News chief correspondent Keltie Knight. "You're just like, 'Is that person having fun? Is everyone having fun? Like, are you hungry?'"
The "No Hard Feelings" star then shared that she had invited Robert De Niro to her wedding rehearsal dinner but told him to leave when she realized he wasn't having the best time.
"I looked over, and I saw Bob — who doesn't know anybody — and he's kind of wandering around," Lawrence said. "And I immediately was just like, 'No. This is not — this isn't what he wants to be doing. I don't want him here.'"
Even though De Niro was polite and spoke to her parents, Lawrence explained that she urged the actor to leave instead of sticking around.
"So I went over and whispered, I was like, 'Go home,'" she added. "And then he left, and that just genuinely made me feel better."
Lawrence and De Niro co-starred in three films together: "Silver Linings Playbook" in 2012, "American Hustle" in 2013, and "Joy" in 2015.
Looking back, the star also added she was worried about the temperature and remembers "freaking out" that her guests might be feeling cold.
"And all of my friends were lying — they're like, 'Nobody's cold, nobody's cold, everything's fine, everything's fine,'" Lawrence said. "And my mom was like, 'It's freezing out there, your grandmother almost died.'"
Lawrence married Maroney, an art gallerist, in October 2019 at a Gilded Age mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Their son Cy was born in February 2022.
