jennifer lawrence's parents are completely adorable



Say that Jennifer Lawrence did not appear to have a stranglehold on this year’s best-actress Oscar. Say that the Silver Linings Playbook star had not already endeared herself to the masses via refreshingly no-nonsense interviews during which she does not hesitate to order burritos the “size of a mailbox” or threaten to take out the knees of her peers. Then the actress might need help campaigning during the final awards-season push. If that were the case, she might call upon on her parents, who after this weekend’s SAG Awards ceremony, proved that they are just as charmingly down-to-earth as their daughter. The evidence was provided during anEntertainment Tonight interview during which Lawrence’s father, Gary, proudly compared her to “Secretariat in the Derby” while refusing to put down his glass of champagne—television-interview protocol be damned. Jennifer’s mother, Karen, meanwhile, spontaneously teared up when the microphone was directed at her, explaining, “I just can’t stop crying . . . I don’t have anything to say because we’ll embarrass her. We always do!” Jennifer, in turn, explained to her mother the mechanics of a microphone before covering her face and exclaiming, “Mom, stop crying . . . God, this is embarrassing.”

Meanwhile, on a less winsome corner of the red carpet, without adorable parents to distract television entertainment reporters, Lawrence’s Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper was pressed with questions about that Taylor Swift–romance rumor that will not die. “Crazy, never met her. That’s not even true at all,” the actor, who has had less luck than Lawrence has this awards season, clarified. “That’s completely made up.” If only Bradley Cooper had Jennifer Lawrence’s parents to provide him campaign support! (Or to deflect attention during awkward Q&As.)

adorable!!

It kills me that there's like no chance of Bradley winning for his performance in Silver Linings Playbook. And it irks me that every time I see this movie I still think "She's so great in this!...She's way too fucking young. But she's great!"

Bradley stood out the most to me, which is why I'm surprised he's not getting more praise than Jennifer.

I'm not surprised he's not getting more praise but it bugs the hell out of me. I thought he was superior to everyone in that movie except De Niro.

I agree. Equally they were toe to toe in the performance arena. I was so surprised how great Bradley Cooper really was in it.

The movie was boring for me until Jennifer showed up. She made him better for me bc they were good together.

ikr? i was completely blown away by Bradley. i had no clue he was hiding those kind of acting chops.
joaniemaloney 30th-Jan-2013 02:21 am (UTC)
yeah there's no way he'll win anything which is unfortunate bc it should be a breakthrough performance for him. he's really good.

I know her age, but I kept forgetting how young she was actually.
flawlessglitch 30th-Jan-2013 02:45 am (UTC)
I forgot for a bit but then they had that line where Bradley was like "How old are you?" and she's like "Old enough to--"

And I'm like no. In attempting to fill this hole, you have made it 100% more recognizable.

sparrowsrflying 30th-Jan-2013 06:22 am (UTC)
