The most shockingly honest celebrity responses

Jennifer Lawrence chose violence in a response that no one expected

07/12/21 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Celebrity interviews

Hollywood is rife with artifice, staged drama, and straight out lies. It can often feel like well-orchestrated self-promotion, but, once in while, after inevitably hearing the same questions over and over, actors slip off script and singers stray from lyrics. Those are the shining moments where the stars pull back the curtains and show people who they really are.

Jennifer Lawrence is no stranger to these moments, and on her much-anticipated return to the spotlight with the premiere of her new film 'Don't Look Up,' she has once again delivered. Glowing in a gold gown with her sizeable baby bump, she was asked by a reporter what would be on her list of things to do if she knew there was a comet that was going to hit Earth in less than six months (like the plot of the film). "Murder," she responded straight-faced. Then, with a little chuckle, "The Purge, yeah."

Click through to see the celebrities who have hilariously, brutally, and scandalously given honest responses that no one expected.
