It is simple to overlook the fact that celebrities also go through terrifying experiences that have a serious impact on their lives in the glamorous world of Hollywood. One such instance is the well-known Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence, who experienced a near-death situation while flying on a private plane.
The Academy Award-winning actress, who is well-known for her amazing talent and bubbly personality, previously talked about the horribly traumatic event that has followed her ever since.
In 2017, the actress, encountered the frailty of life firsthand while flying on a private plane. The failure of an engine on a private plane even made her believe she was going to die.
Jennifer Lawrence Described The Terrifying Moment She Nearly Died
Jennifer Lawrence, who was traveling on a private jet from her home state of Kentucky to New York City in the summer of 2017, once opened up to Vanity Fair about the terrifying experience. In a moving interview, the Oscar-winning actress revealed:
“My skeleton was all that was left in the seat. We were all just going to die. I started leaving little mental voicemails to my family, you know, ‘I’ve had a great life, I’m sorry’.”
Engine trouble on the plane forced an emergency landing, and Lawrence experienced a terrifying moment that would change her viewpoint as the Don’t Look Up star, 33, said:
“I just felt guilty. Everybody was going to be so bummed. And, oh, God, [my dog] Pippi was on my lap, that was the worst part. Here’s this little thing who didn’t ask to be a part of any of this.”
The Mother! actress, who began her career in television guest roles as a teenager, prayed when she noticed the runway was clogged with ambulances and fire trucks:
“I started praying. Not to the specific God I grew up with, because he was terrifying and a very judgmental guy. But I thought, Oh, my God, maybe we’ll survive this? I’ll be a burn victim, this will be painful, but maybe we’ll live.”
Jennifer Lawrence Has Suffered Several On-Set Accidents
Jennifer Lawrence has sustained several on-set injuries over the course of her acclaimed career. She previously appeared on Hot Ones and discussed some of her earlier movies while munching on spicy wings.
The actress recalled all the mishaps she encountered while working on the 2021 Oscar-nominated film Don’t Look Up, as well as how she unintentionally ruined a costume while filming American Hustle. The host, Sean Evans, questioned Lawrence about the incident she found the most upsetting from her earlier on-set mishaps.
“They were both around Leonardo DiCaprio, which is just embarrassing. You don’t want to go [makes hurling gesture and noises] spit something that just got snorted through your sinuses and Leo was like, ‘Is that? What is that?’ I was like ‘It’s my nose ring.’ That was embarrassing, but truly having, it wasn’t just one tooth. Because I have veneers, I had a whole section missing. It was the height of COVID, so I couldn’t go to the dentist, so I had to do all of Don’t Look Up with just a gaping hole in my mouth. Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Leonardo DiCaprio, just everybody. So I guess I would say the missing tooth.”
The mother of one took a break from acting after the 2019 X-Men movie Dark Phoenix, and No Hard Feelings is one of her first projects after that. She spoke to Vanity Fair about her choice to pause her acting career:
“I was not pumping out the quality that I should have. I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’… I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life. Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: ‘Okay, I said yes, we’re doing it. Nobody’s mad.’”
She then thought she had advanced to the point where people were not “pleased just by my existence”:
“So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul.”
Lawrence has risen to prominence as a mental health advocate by being open about these horrifying incidents and her subsequent healing process.
No Hard Feelings, which was released on June 23, 2023, also starred Matthew Broderick, Laura Benanti, Andrew Barth Feldman, and Natalie Morales. The movie received positive reviews, and critics praised Lawrence’s comic timing.
You can rent No Hard Feelings on Apple TV.
