Jennifer Lawrence’s Favorite Movie Isn’t For Everyone

Jennifer Lawrence has covered many topics in her new Vanity Fair interview — her pregnancy, her new movie don’t look up, her two-year Hollywood hiatus (“Everyone was sick of me”). But I want to talk about something important: Lawrence’s Reveal That Her Favorite Movie Is Heir apparent.

Yes, Heir apparent, the Ari Aster horror film that gave audiences nightmares and turned Toni Collette’s screaming face into a meme, is Lawrence’s favorite film. She loves it so much, she decorated a water bottle with Heir apparent decals. And for her 30th birthday, her husband Cooke Maroney hid a diamond necklace in a hardback copy of the Heir apparent scenario. “It was so sweet,” she told the magazine. Because – spoiler alert – who wouldn’t want to be reminded of a brutal beheading on a milestone birthday?

Thinking back to Lawrence’s career, this choice – while still very disturbing for anyone (read: me) who shy away from mentioning horror – actually makes sense. I mean, this is the actor who became famous for playing a teenager who became a mass murderer in the… hunger games trilogy and who starred in Mother! It seems good that she would have a dark side. And if it ever gets too much, she can always fall back on her other favorite source of entertainment: Keeping up with the Kardashians and Real housewives.
