Actress’s ‘Absolute Misery’ Filming with Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet

The global success of Don't Look Up on Netflix

It is in 2021 that the feature film Don't Look Up was released on the Scarlet streaming platform. Spectators from all over the world were therefore able to discover a film inspired by the climate crisis. What stood out, in addition to its profound message about the environment, was its five-star casting. Rarely has a film contained so many well-known stars for a production broadcast on Netflix. We find in particular Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the main roles, with Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill (21 Jump Street, The Wolf of Wall Street), Cate Blanchett, the singer Ariana Grande and Timothée Chalamet, who is a particularly popular actor these days.

This film was a huge success upon its release, recording 360 million hours of streaming in several days. It became Netflix's second most viewed film, behind Red Notice. In short, Don't Look Up was a real phenomenon when it was released. However, the main actress does not particularly have good memories of filming. A surprising statement to say the least since she was surrounded by world-famous stars. His testimony shows how the reality of things is not particularly thrilling.

Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have good memories of Don't Look Up

Playing alongside Leonardo DiCaprio or Meryl Streep is a dream that few people can hope to achieve. However, this is the case for Jennifer Lawrence via Don't Look Up on Netflix. With a situation like that, many would have bet that she had a great time alongside these iconic actors, but that wasn't the case. LDuring an interview, she shared her experience of filming which took place in the middle of a health crisis. She specifically recalled a moment when she was in a car with Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet:

Timothée was just excited to be out of the house, I think it was his first scene. And Leo had chosen the song that was playing in the car and said, “You know, this song is about blah, blah, blah.” (…) I don't know. I just remember being in absolute misery that day.

For the humorous side of her interview, she exaggerated the boredom she felt during this specific moment, subsequently assuring that her two colleagues were very “nice” to her and that everything went well.
