Jennifer Lawrence Playfully Mocking Liam Hemsworth’s ‘Hunger Games’ Kiss
Liam Hemsworth once described his on-screen kiss with Jennifer Lawrence in ‘The Hunger Games’ as distasteful, which unfortunately led to a negative perception of the actress. However, Jennifer didn’t let this criticism slide and openly addressed Liam’s comments, expressing her displeasure.
Despite this incident, the two remain close friends, maintaining a strong bond over the years. Jennifer Lawrence, an Oscar-winning actress, rose to fame through ‘The Hunger Games’ series, alongside Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.
Recently, a prequel to Jennifer Lawrence’s Hunger Games movies titled ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ was released. This prequel delves into the backstory of Coriolanus Snow before he becomes a tyrant. The movies are based on Suzanne Collins’ novels, with the first instalment released in 2012 and the final one, starring Lawrence, hitting theatres in 2015.
In The Hunger Games franchise, Liam Hemsworth portrayed Gale Hawthorne, the romantic interest of Jennifer Lawrence’s character, Katniss Everdeen. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Liam shared his experience of kissing Jennifer on-screen. According to him, Jennifer deliberately ate garlic and tuna before their kissing scene, making it seem like she did it on purpose.
However, Jennifer Lawrence had a different perspective when she addressed the matter. In an interview, she clarified that she didn’t intentionally consume smelly foods before the kiss.

She expressed her frustration with Liam’s comments, stating, “I was never like, ‘Hey Liam, I just ate tuna and garlic on purpose.’ I just happened to eat something. I didn’t change the way I was eating for the kissing, which is different from doing something on purpose. Is it worse?!”
Jennifer didn’t stop there; she playfully teased Liam by suggesting she would be more mindful of her breath while kissing A-list stars like Christian Bale or Bradley Cooper.
