Jennifer Lawrence Brushed Off Director's Tough Approach on American Hustle Set
3 Nov
Summary
- Jennifer Lawrence unaffected by director's blunt criticism
- Amy Adams found the director's behavior upsetting, but Lawrence did not
- Christian Bale acted as a mediator between the director and Adams
In a recent interview, actress Jennifer Lawrence, now 35, discussed her experience working with director David O. Russell on the 2013 film American Hustle. Lawrence revealed that she did not find Russell's direct communication style to be an issue, unlike her co-star Amy Adams.
According to Lawrence, Russell would bluntly tell her if he disliked something, saying "That was terrible. Looked like s---. Do it better." However, Lawrence saw this as a helpful way for the director to provide feedback, stating "I really felt like with David that was his way of communicating in a non-bulls--- way. I never felt like he was degrading or yelling at me."
In contrast, Adams, who was 51 at the time, found Russell's behavior upsetting, often ending up in tears on set. The actress told British GQ in 2016 that she was "really just devastated" during filming, though she acknowledged that Lawrence seemed unaffected, describing her as "Teflon."
