'I would be starstruck if I saw Jessica Simpson': Jennifer Lawrence reveals A-list crushes and talks new film Causeway

Jennifer Lawrence, America's sweetheart and the relatable girl-next-door, is back in the spotlight with her latest film, 'Causeway.' But what truly got her gushing in a recent interview with W Magazine? The answer might surprise you.

"I would be starstruck if I saw Jessica Simpson. That would knock me over," Lawrence confessed. "The biggest celebrities in the world are, like, Pete Davidson. Or when Ariana Grande was in my last film, 'Don't Look Up,' I was photographed with her and I fully look like a radio contest winner. I wasn't cool."

Forget starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchette, and Meryl Streep. For Lawrence, real excitement is running into the Newlyweds icon Jessica Simpson or comedian Pete Davidson. That's what makes her knees wobble!

In 'Causeway,' streaming now on Apple TV+, Lawrence takes on the role of a military veteran recovering from a traumatic brain injury. This isn't just any role for the celebrated actress; it's a part that required deep research and intense preparation.

"The whole process came with a lot of gratitude and humbling," said Lawrence. She went the extra mile, speaking to ex-service members who suffered from TBIs and consulting with physician assistants, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. "So much of acting is almost an exploitation of your own empathy," she reflected, showcasing her commitment to authenticity.

It's this unpretentious, down-to-earth quality that makes Jennifer Lawrence so universally adored. Whether she's starstruck by A-list celebrities just like the rest of us or delving into a complex role with heart and honesty, she's one of us. She's for the people, and the people are for her.

So go ahead, grab your popcorn, and tune in to 'Causeway' on Apple TV+. You might just find yourself starstruck by Jennifer Lawrence's raw talent and effervescent charm.
