In Hollywood, most celebrities put a lot of time and effort into creating a certain image for themselves. For that reason, fans sometimes have to take the things that certain stars say with a grain of salt since they tend to be so careful about everything they do.
Unlike most of her peers, ever since Jennifer Lawrence first rose to fame, she has made it a habit to be much more open about her feelings and thoughts.
A lot of the time, the forthright way Lawrence has conducted herself has earned her the adoration of her legions of fame.
On top of that, some of Lawrence’s hilariously revealing comments have garnered a great deal of attention.
During a 2015 appeared on a late-night talk show, Jennifer Lawrence remained as open as she has ever been.
This time around, she decided to reveal to the world that she had a major crush on a celebrity who is much, much older than her.
While it is relatively common for stars to talk about their crushes, Lawrence’s admission was unique due to the person she had the hots for.
After all, the star that Lawrence spoke about during that appearance has never been known for his good lucks.
Romantic History
As of the time of this writing, Jennifer Lawrence has been married to an art gallery director named Cooke Maroney for just over a year.
However, in years past, Lawrence has been involved with several other people, just like most folks who are on the lookout for the person they are supposed to be with.
Early on in Jennifer Lawrence’s time in the spotlight, she was romantically involved with her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult for roughly four years.
Since breaking up with Hoult in 2014, Lawrence notably dated the director Darren Aronofsky fort just over a year.
Finally, Lawrence very briefly dated Coldplay’s Chris Martin and she is said to have shared a few off-camera smooches with Liam Hemsworth.
A Crush Revealed
During a 2015 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jennifer Lawrence talked extensively about the crush she once had on the host.
In fact, at one point Lawrence hosted Saturday Night Live when Meyers was still a big part of that show and she decided to ask him out only to find out that he was already engaged.
Of course, since Meyers is more than 15-years-older than Lawrence, that crush isn’t the one that this article is focused on.
During the aforementioned appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jennifer Lawrence went on to talk about the crush she had on a much older man.
“I gave Larry David my number, he never called me. I texted Amy the other night as I was drinking wine. And um, and I wrote to her as I was randomly watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and I said; ‘I have so many sexual and boyfriend, marriage feelings for Larry.”
Larry’s Response
As anyone who has followed Larry David’s career will no doubt be able to attest, he can sometimes be a bit of a crank With that in mind, some of his fans may have assumed that he would brush off any notion of Jennifer Lawrence having a crush on him.
After all, Larry’s longtime friend Jerry Seinfeld was hilariously blunt when Kesha approached him for a hug while attending a red carpet event.
When Larry David took part in a Question and Answer session at the New Yorker festival in 2014, the topic of Jennifer Lawrence’s crush on him came up.
Initially, Larry complimented Jennifer’s taste in men by calling her a “smart kid”. From there, however, he revealed his belief that the age gap between them made any kind of romance happening between them a non-starter.
“It’s a shame that I’m about 40 years older than she is”
“I don’t think I could do it. On one hand, it’s very flattering and on the other hand, it’s kind of a shame — in terms of timing. I’d have fun watching the reality show of it though.”
During a 2017 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Larry David addressed Jennifer Lawrence’s crush on him and Seth Meyers.
While laughing about the situation, Larry called Seth out for saying he felt “a little less awesome about the crush” after Lawrence said she had a crush on Larry too.
Still, Larry had to admit that he too would have liked it better if he was Jennifer’s only crush.
“It would have been better if it was just me. When she said you, I too was disappointed.” “I wanted me, just me. To me, it takes away from the crush if she is mentioning other people.
How special is it then, for me? It’s not that special. You got a crush on me, you got a crush on him, no good.”
