In a cover interview forW Magazine’s first issue of 2023 — Volume 1, Best Performances — the 32-year-oldCausewayactress admitted, “I would bestarstruck if I saw Jessica Simpson. That would knock me over.”
For Lawrence, “The biggest celebrities in the world are, like,Pete Davidson,” she said. “Or whenAriana Grandewas in my last film,Don’t Look Up, I was photographed with her and I fully look like a radio-contest winner.”
But, theOscarwinner admitted, she wasn’t up on the trends as a kid when it came to her room décor, as while her posters included one ofAvril Lavigne, she also had one of dogs displayed not far away.

Elsewhere in her interview, Lawrence said one film that “always makes me cry” isFather of the Bride— but not during the scene some might assume.
“Not when they get married, but when he sees her as a little girl and she’s like, ‘Mommy, Daddy, I met a man in Rome and we’re getting married,’ " the mother of one revealed, adding, “But I’m so sensitive now that I can barely watch anything with children or animals.”
“The whole process came with a lot of gratitude and humbling,” she explained of the research and preparation. “So much of acting is almost an exploitation of your own empathy.”
And Simpson, 42, is only the latest fellow celebrity Lawrence has admitted to being a big fan of. Another such example?Jonathan Goldsmith.
Goldsmith, otherwise known as the the Most Interesting Man in the World from the Dos Equis commercials, previously toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat both Lawrence and herDon’t Look UpcostarLeonardo DiCapriohave approached him for selfies.
“Like everybody else in Hollywood, I was eating at Craig’s and a waiter came up to me and said, ‘Would you mind taking a picture with Miss Lawrence?’ " explained the actor, 84.
“Well, this was not Gertrude Lawrence, it was Jennifer Lawrence. I went over to her table and she was very sweet. I met her friend and we took a couple pictures,” Goldsmith added.
