Only Jennifer Lawrence Can Get Leonardo DiCaprio to Laugh Like This

by

Jennifer Lawrence has a knack for making even the most serious actors loosen up. During interviews for her film Causeway, she got Brian Tyree Henry talking about reality TV, and she’s been playfully teasing Robert Pattinson throughout promotion for Die My Love. Now, paired with Leonardo DiCaprio for Variety‘s “Actors on Actors,” she’s at it again, determined to make him crack a smile – and she succeeds. While they share genuine moments discussing their experiences as child actors and their appreciation for filmmakers like John Cassavetes, the most entertaining parts come when Lawrence playfully pushes DiCaprio’s buttons. She jokingly wonders if he ever kissed his One Battle After Another co-star, Benicio del Toro, but he doesn’t react. Later, after she asks him about a director he’s always wanted to work with, DiCaprio finally smirks and subtly mimics her movements before admitting he doesn’t have a definitive answer, though he’s interested in collaborating with Damian Chazelle and Michael Mann. It’s a surprisingly lighthearted side of DiCaprio, who usually reserves that kind of playful behavior for his roles, like in One Battle After Another.

Watching these two actors talk about their careers is really interesting. They’re both funny and serious in different ways, and they highlight each other’s strengths and weaknesses. DiCaprio often seems reserved in interviews, while Lawrence is very direct, but on screen they both bring a powerful energy. What’s most enjoyable is seeing DiCaprio’s sincere curiosity about Lawrence’s process. Even though they’ve worked together before, he seems impressed and a little confused by her – it’s endearing. Despite her tendency to downplay her talent, DiCaprio clearly believes she’s capable of anything, which many viewers already know. It’s typical for Lawrence to use humor to deflect, but it’s even more fun to watch her make DiCaprio laugh along with her. When she admits to rewatching American Hustle while drunk to assess her performance, he responds with a genuine smile and tells her, completely seriously, that it’s funny. You can tell he truly means it.
