It’s safe to say Jennifer Lawrence‘s recent visit to The Tonight Show was pretty emotional.
The actress repeatedly burst into loud, dramatic wails during her wide-ranging conversation with visibly flustered host Jimmy Fallon when she appeared as a guest Wednesday night.
At the beginning of their chat, Lawrence admitted that she was “nervous” and reflected on her recent New Yorker profile, in which she discussed feeling like she was “annoying” in interviews when she was younger.
Because of that, she told Fallon she wasn’t “gonna say a [bleep]-ing word” during their talk. To which he replied, “No, you have to say something!”
But where words fail, howling speaks. Her first tearful incident occurred while she was recounting a lengthy story about how she became attached to her new movie, Die My Love, which follows a young mother who descends into madness after moving to the countryside with her husband (Robert Pattinson).
“Lynne Ramsay is someone I’ve always wanted to work with,” she said, referring to the film’s director. “So basically, she cracked it and she’s a genius and… I can’t believe I’m still talking!”
Ducking her head, Lawrence began to weep loudly in her seat over having to talk for her talk-show appearance.
The move seemed to surprise Fallon, who naturally tried to quell her tears by… shouting at her.
“No, stop crying! Stop crying!” he yelled. “No, this is fun! You’re having fun on a talk show! Stop crying. Just trust me, this is fun.”
To his credit, Fallon’s technique did get Lawrence to calm down. “Okay,” she agreed, laughing slightly through her tearful reaction.

However, the Hunger Games alum began sobbing once again after sharing a story about a comment that got lost in translation on the film’s Canadian set.
“In Canada, they call the trailer ‘your room.’ We call trailers ‘trailers,’ because they’re trailers, and we call our room, like, the hotel room that we’re living in for months,” Lawrence said. She went on to explain that her producing partner “got a text from our line producer that was like, ‘These three background kids have nowhere to stay. Can they use your room?'”
The request left Lawrence thinking she would suddenly be sharing a room with three children. “She’s like, ‘Well, geez, I don’t know. All my stuff’s in there.’ And the line producer’s getting more and more flabbergasted,” Lawrence recalled. “He’s like, ‘I’ll help you move your stuff!'”https://www.youtube.com/embed/puUVS9HmDp0
Lawrence said the line producer got so frustrated that he eventually just said he’d ask Ramsay if they could stay in her trailer.
“This whole back-and-forth where he thinks we’re crazy, we obviously think he’s crazy, and then it was just a misunderstanding,” she said, ending the story by promptly bursting into another wave of mock tears.
This time, however, Fallon was hip to the move and didn’t let it faze him. “Oh my gosh,” he said. “Unbelievable. You’re unbelievable.”
Die My Love lands in theaters on Friday. Watch Lawrence weep through her interview in the clip above.
