Why Jennifer Lawrence Sent Robert De Niro Away From Her ‘Awful’ Wedding

Jennifer Lawrence's wedding day was "awful."

The No Hard Feelings actress tied the knot with Cooke Maroney in 2019 and she admitted she found the whole day "so stressful" because she spent too much time worrying about her guests' comfort and enjoyment to relax and have fun.

Admitting being a bride was "awful," she explained to E! News: "It's so stressful. 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, and all of my friends were lying they're like, ‘Nobody's cold, nobody's cold, everything's fine, everything's fine.'

"My mom was like, ‘It's freezing out there, your grandmother almost died.'"

The 33-year-old actress ordered her friend and frequent co-star Robert De Niro, who she worked with on Silver Linings Playbook, Joy and American Hustle, to "go home" during the rehearsal dinner because she was convinced he didn't want to be there, and admitted she was relieved when he left.

She said: "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.'

"[After he left] that just genuinely made me feel better."

Jennifer, who has 23-month-old son Cy with her spouse, recently laughed off claims she had had cosmetic surgery, insisting her face has changed purely because she is getting older and has been in the public eye for so long.

She told Interview magazine: "I started at 19, so I get the before and after pictures from when I’m 19 to 30 and I’m like, 'I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I’m aging.' Everybody thought I had a nose job, and I’m like, 'I’ve had the exact same nose. My cheeks got smaller. Thank you for bringing it up.'"

The Hunger Games star also highlighted the influence of Hung Vanngo, the acclaimed makeup artist.

She explained: "I also think it’s incredible what make-up can do because I work with Hung, who over-lines the lip, and I call him a plastic surgeon, because everybody in the last few months since I’ve been working with him is convinced that I had eye surgery."
