In a candid moment at the 2024 Golden Globes, Jennifer Lawrence opened up about the less-than-dreamy aspects of her 2019 wedding to Cooke Maroney. The actress, known for her humor and authenticity, shared her wedding day worries and a surprising request for Hollywood legend Robert De Niro to leave the celebration.
Lawrence described the wedding as “awful,” emphasizing the stress and constant concern about guests’ enjoyment. Her main worry? The cold weather at the Belcourt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, where the ceremony took place.
The 33-year-old actress admitted to E! News that her friends reassured her that everything was fine, but it was her mother’s blunt honesty that stood out. Lawrence recounted her mother’s words, saying, “My mom was like, ‘It’s freezing out there, your grandmother almost died.'”
However, what truly caught everyone’s attention was Jennifer’s revelation about wanting Robert De Niro to leave. Lawrence explained that during the rehearsal dinner, she noticed De Niro, who didn’t know many people, wandering around. Feeling that he wasn’t enjoying himself, she whispered to him, “Go home.”
Jennifer shared, “He was nice – he talked to my parents and was polite – but I was like, ‘Go.'” Surprisingly, she admitted that when De Niro left, it “genuinely made me feel better.”
The actress’s unfiltered honesty about the challenges of her wedding day resonated with many, making her confession a highlight of the Golden Globes. Despite the stress, Lawrence’s humor and authenticity continue to endear her to fans, proving that even Hollywood stars experience the ups and downs of wedding planning.
