Jennifer Lawrence’s Fiery, Off-Camera Clapback to Graham Norton Will Leave You Shook—What Did They Cut and Why?

Added on October 19, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards

Has anyone ever wondered if the stars influence those jaw-dropping, sofa-side moments on talk shows? Well, on Friday the 17th of October, under a rather mischievous cosmic waltz, Graham Norton seemed to trip over his words while hosting none other than Jennifer Lawrence—the dazzling star famously known for “The Hunger Games.” As Lawrence, Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White, and Tessa Thompson gathered to chat about her new film, Die My Love, the evening took an unexpected turn. The film, a psychological dive into the struggles of new motherhood and post-natal depression, was the centerpiece, but it was the backstage banter—something the viewers at home never caught—that truly stole the scene. Did the Scorpio season’s intensity get the better of the chat? Jennifer’s quick wit clashed with Graham’s probing questions, leading to a moment so spicy it didn’t make the final cut. Could it be that Mercury’s retrograde was nudging secrets to stay hidden? Or was it just classic Jennifer, holding her cards close? Either way, here’s the lowdown on what went down, the exchange that only the studio audience sipped on, and why you might just want to keep an eye on your own talk-show nights when the stars are in such playful alignment.

Graham Norton reportedly put his foot right in it while The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence was sitting on his sofa.

The actress, 35, was among the stars who appeared on the Irish comedian’s hit BBC talk show on Friday (17 October).

She joined music legend Bruce Springsteen, The Bear star Jeremy Allen White and fellow actor Tessa Thompson on The Graham Norton Show to promote her new flick, Die My Love.

Lawrence appears alongside Robert Pattinson in the psychological black comedy-drama, which follows the mental struggles of a new mother who is suffering from post-natal depression.

The screen star – who is a mother-of-two herself – talked up the movie, which will be released in UK cinemas on 14 November, on Norton‘s chat show.

But viewers reportedly didn’t get to see everything that she spilt while sitting on the infamous red sofa.

Apparently, Lawrence and the TV icon, 62, got into something of a heated exchange while they were talking shop – and the footage of this is said to have ended up on the cutting room floor.

Norton reportedly asked the Don’t Look Up star whether she had ever ‘wanted to step away’ from the spotlight and ‘take the heat off being Jennifer Lawrence’.

“Yeah, I made Covid happen,” Lawrence then joked, in reference to her brief hiatus from Hollywood, which began in 2020.

According to Metro, Norton then asked her: “Did you worry then maybe you wouldn’t be able to get back into it?”

A source told the publication that Lawrence didn’t take too kindly to this line of questioning, prompting her to respond: “Wow, you are really coming for me tonight!”

“Well, it’s just a human thing to wonder,” Norton is then said to have retorted.

Although the audience is reported to have witnessed this exchange unfold, viewers watching from home didn’t get to see it.

The entirety of this snippet didn’t make it to air, as the episode instead cut to Lawrence answering Norton’s question.

“I think I was at peace with that possibility happening,” the Kentucky-born actress said. “I was like ‘this is a lot’. I think I would have been fine, well, no, I think I would have been upset…I don’t know.”

Norton has had his work cut out for him over the last few weeks, as there have been a few awkward moments on his show.

To start, Cillian Murphy had quite the comical reaction to Taylor Swift showing off her new engagement ring, which her fiancé, Travis Kelce, presented her with when he popped the question in August.

But Robbie Williams really took the biscuit when he sat down alongside Julia Roberts and told the Pretty Woman star that her iconic role had encouraged him to ‘take a prostitute shopping’.
