Jennifer Lawrence Asked Robert De Niro To Leave Her Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
Jennifer Lawrence’s wedding rehearsal dinner wasn’t giving her much joy. Which is why she asked Robert De Niro to go home.
In a Jan. 7 red carpet interview with E! News, Lawrence said being a bride was super stressful. She worried about others, particularly since the weather was not cooperating.

“It’s so stressful,” she said. “You’re not having fun. You’re just like, ‘Is that person having fun?’”
That’s when she spotted De Niro, her Joy costar, trying to fit in.
“I looked over and I saw Bob, who doesn’t know anybody and he’s kind of wandering around, and I immediately was like, ‘No, this isn’t what he wants to be doing. I don’t want him here,’” she said.
“So I went over and whispered, I was like, ‘Go home’ and he was nice — he like talked to my parents and was polite — but I was like, ‘Go,'” she continued.
De Niro complied, and Lawrence admitted, “That just genuinely made me feel better.”
Another stressful moment for Lawrence came when she was worried that her guests were cold.
“I’ll never forget — I was freaking out about the guests being cold, and all of my friends were lying they’re like, ‘Nobody’s cold, nobody’s cold, everything’s fine, everything’s fine,'” she recalled.
However, her mom told her the truth.
“My mom was like, ‘It’s freezing out there, your grandmother almost died,” Lawrence recalled.
In October 2019, Lawrence got married to Cooke Maroney, an art dealer, in a ceremony that was held at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Rhode Island.
