Jennifer Lawrence nearly killed someone with her backside.

Now, while that could sound like some kind of cruel death her Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen might have inflicted on someone to survive the arena, it was actually something JLaw did in real life.

She scratched her butt, and someone nearly died.

During filming of The Hunger Games, some of which took place in Hawaii, Jennifer found herself trapped in a wetsuit with an itch that needed scratching. So, she did the obvious thing and found a nice boulder on which to do the job.

The only problems were that not only was the boulder sacred and therefore should not have anyone’s posterior rubbed on it, it was also not secure.

The 26-year-old told Graham Norton: ‘You’re not supposed to sit on [the sacred rocks] because you’re not supposed to expose your genitalia to them.


‘But I was in a wetsuit for this whole shoot and oh my god they were so good for butt itching.

‘One rock I was scratching on ended up coming loose and it was a giant boulder and rolled down the mountain and nearly killed the sound guy.

‘All the Hawaiians were like “it’s the curse!” And I was like I’m the curse, I wedged it loose with ma ass.

Behold JLaw’s butt-scratching skills:



Jennifer and Chris Pratt were on the Graham Norton show to promote their new movie Passengers.

The pair play two people who wake up from induced hibernation in space 90 years before they should.

At first it looks like they’ve been left to live out their lives on board a spaceship with every luxury they could ask for, but it soon transpires they’re in grave danger and have 5,000 other lives on board to save.

Passengers reaches UK cinemas on December 21.
