Well this is just INCREDIBLE – Jennifer Lawrence’s best friend Laura Simpson has written this amazing piece about accompanying her to the Oscars. As you’d expect from J-Law’s BFF, it’s a funny, no-bullshit take on what happens when you find yourself hanging out with Brad Pitt and Glenn Close.
You’ll definitely want to read the whole thing, but our particular highlights include:
-
‘Brad Pitt smells amazing, like nothing I've ever smelled. Eventually we ask what cologne he's wearing and he tells us, “I don't wear cologne, it's just my musk I guess.” I have to choose not to believe him because it would just be unfair to mankind.’
-
‘We finally arrive at the red carpet and as we exit the car, my date [SHE MEANS J-LAW!!!] eats shit and uses my freshly done Lauren Conrad up do to break her fall. The crowd goes wild'.
‘The only time anyone talks to you is if you are in the way of his or her photo. Oh and photographers on the carpet yell "YOU IN THE HUGE DRESS, GET OUT OF THE FUCKING SHOT." It's incredible. It is no wonder actors are crazy.'
‘Some guy picks up my purse that had fallen off my seat and I say "Thank you… Channing Tatum" and my dress gets caught on Jennifer Garner and we awkwardly laugh and someone tries to separate us. The lovely pregnant Kerry Washington asks me if she could have the Slim Jim in my purse. Glenn Close shows us her Oscar secret, which is a handmade corset and a dress long enough to hide her comfortable shoes.’
Look, just read it all, because it’s wonderful stuff. It makes us sad that we’ll never be J-Law’s best friend, because we’re never be quite as cool as her real-life BFF Laura. Also, you’ll note that the name ‘Jennifer Lawrence’ isn’t mentioned once in Laura’s essay. Which is much classier – non?
