AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lawrence recalls getting snubbed by Harrison Ford when dropping by "The Graham Norton Show". She was out in town at that time with comedian Jack Whitehall when they saw J.J. Abrams and Ford nearby so she decided to dance over to their table. She ended up returning to her table red-faced.
"I probably humiliated myself more than ever before," the Oscar-winning actress tells Graham Norton. "I never assume anyone knows who I am, but when I spotted Harrison Ford and J.J. Abrams I was like, 'It'll be fine, we're all co-workers, right?' "
"So I went up to them and started dancing like an idiot and the whole table just went quiet and stared at me. I realized while I am dancing that they had absolutely no idea who I was so I just turned around and walked back to Jack dying of embarrassment."
Whitehall then chimes in, "The funny thing was I had just done this show with Harrison and he is the only A-list Hollywood star I'd met. Jen had just been blanked and I was like, 'Hey, it's all right, I'll go and say hi to Harrison.' And everyone was like, 'Jack, don't do this. It will be humiliating.' "
"I get up and walk over thinking, 'Oh God, maybe he won't remember me and I'm going to be humiliated too.' And literally as I walked over he stood up and shouted, 'Hey, Jack!' " the comedian remembers. "It was so funny. It was probably the best night of my life and Jen's worst!"
Lawrence, however, quickly adds that the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actor later wrote her a note. "Because someone with a 12-year-old must have told him who I was!" the actress jokes.
