Jennifer Lawrence on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with JL Jennifer Lawrence

The Hang, in Short

Justine Shuraki, Jennifer Lawrence's longtime friend and producing partner at Excellent Cadaver, tells Amy that her first impression of Jen was "a wild beast" with zero self-consciousness. Everyone was wide-eyed. That abandon never left her, even through the surreal lifestyle. Justine and Jen grew up together in their small LA apartment, discovering everything from Wong Kar-wai to Sex and the City, building the taste that now shapes what they produce. They made Causeway together, that stripped-back performance where Brian Tyree Henry and Lawrence play wounded souls returning home. Justine admits she still loses her mind watching Jen act on set, every single time across 11 films. Her question for Amy to ask? Skip the usual stuff. Let Jen declare what she actually wants to talk about for once.
