When popular actress Jennifer Lawrence got married to art gallery owner Cooke Maroney in 2019, tons of famous people were invited. We’re talking Adele, Kris Jenner, Emma Stone – the list goes on! But even with all her best celebrity buds there, Lawrence shared that the whole wedding was super stressful, not fun. In fact, she was so worried about guests like Robert De Niro having a good time that she actually asked the famous actor to leave during the rehearsal dinner! Â
Recently, Lawrence told this crazy story about her wedding day. She said she spent the whole time focused on whether guests were enjoying themselves, rather than relaxing and having fun like most brides do. When she noticed De Niro looking bored and wandering around alone, she went up to him and whispered for him to just head home. While it seems a little wild, it shows that even celebrities feel pressure to throw the perfect party for their VIP guests. Even on her own wedding day, Lawrence put others first!
Jennifer Lawrence Found Her Star-Studded Wedding Stressful
Jennifer Lawrence was totally stressed about every little thing going wrong on the big day. Instead of having fun like a excited bride, she couldn’t stop wondering if all the famous guests were enjoying themselves.
She was even worried people might be too cold out in the fall weather! Although her friends kept telling her “everyone’s fine, don’t worry,” Lawrence couldn’t shake the nerves. Turns out, she was right to be concerned. According to Lawrence’s mom, it was pretty chilly and her grandma felt so faint she almost passed out! Not fun.
Jennifer Lawrence said she’ll never forget running around making sure guests were taken care of instead of relaxing. Most brides aren’t also trying to entertain celebs like Kris Jenner and Adele! Her friend group lied, saying no one was cold – but Lawrence’s mom confirmed otherwise. It was a fancy event, but keeping over a hundred VIPs happy and comfortable was a lot for one bride to handle!
The Robert De Niro Wedding Incident
The crazy story that caught everyone’s attention was Jennifer Lawrence actually asking acting legend Robert De Niro to leave early! The problem was that De Niro didn’t know many other guests at the wedding. Lawrence felt bad when she saw the famous actor roaming around the fancy party alone, looking a little bored.
Jennifer Lawrence explained that she could tell De Niro wasn’t enjoying himself mingling with strangers. In the moment, she decided the best thing she could do for him was send him home so he wasn’t stuck there. Even though they worked together a few times on hit movies like Silver Linings Playbook, Lawrence didn’t think twice about whispering to Robert De Niro that he could take off.
Most mega fans would freak if their favorite celebrity left their special event! But to Lawrence, making sure Robert De Niro was comfortable was more important the party itself. Talk about VIP treatment!
The Aftermath of Asking De Niro to Leave
Even though Jennifer Lawrence asked him to go, Robert De Niro was super polite about the whole thing. Before heading out, he made sure to greet Jennifer’s parents and chat for a bit. What a class act!
Lawrence admitted that once she saw De Niro’s car pull away, a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. She felt much better knowing the legendary actor wasn’t stuck mingling with people he didn’t know for hours. Lawrence could finally relax and focus on having fun for the rest of the star-filled evening.
Later on, Robert De Niro actually thanked Jennifer Lawrence for giving him an easy out. He likely had other things to do than make small talk with the random celebrity crowd. Even though it was a bit rude for Lawrence to kick out an invited guest, De Niro didn’t seem to mind one bit. And as the bride, she just wanted what was best for everyone. In the end, Lawrence had no regrets about letting De Niro leave early.
Wrapping Up
Jennifer Lawrence’s wild story about asking De Niro to leave her wedding shows even movie stars struggle to keep celebrity guests happy. Planning big parties for lots of VIPs comes with tons of stress!
Normally, brides get to kick back and have fun on their special day. But Lawrence spent more time sweating small stuff like decor and music than enjoying herself. Her story shows the pressure of throwing a sweet celeb bash where the guests’ experience is number one priority.
Next fancy event, hopefully Lawrence can chill out more! Even America’s girl-next-door needs to let loose, not micromanage. But with that guest list, all eyes will be on Jennifer Lawrence no matter what!
