Jennifer Lawrence lost a tooth while filming 'Don't Look Up'

Jennifer Lawrence is just like us.

The 31-year-old Oscar winner looked gorgeous on the red carpet for the New York City premiere of Don't Look Up on Sunday night, but she revealed that it's not always glamorous.

"I lost a tooth pretty early in the filming," Lawrence told reporters, per Variety, and specified that she had a veneer fall off. "And I couldn’t go to the dentist until the end of the movie, so I had to film most of the movie toothless."

Don't Look Up, written and directed by Adam McKay, marks Lawrence's first film since X-Men: Dark Phoenix in 2019.

"I was not pumping out the quality that I should have," the actress recently told Vanity Fair, explaining why she has been absent from the spotlight. "I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’… I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life. Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: ‘Okay, I said yes, we’re doing it. Nobody’s mad.’ And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence. So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul."

Sunday's premiere was her first time walking the red carpet as a pregnant woman. She is expecting her first child with her husband of two years, Cooke Maroney. 

"Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can," Lawrence added to Vanity Fair. "I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence. And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work."

In Don't Look Up, Lawrence stars as Kate Dibiasky alongside Leonardo DiCaprio's Dr. Randall Mindy as two low-level astronomers who have discovered a comet threatening to destroy humankind headed directly for Earth. They set out on a massive media tour to spread the word and stop the end of the world, but they're met by a completely indifferent President Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her annoyingly entitled son Jason Orlean (Jonah Hill), as well as morning show hosts Jack Bremmer (Tyler Perry) and Brie Evantee (Cate Blanchett).

The sci-fi dramedy will debut in select theaters Friday (Dec. 10) before hitting Netflix on Dec. 24. Watch the trailer below.
