Jennifer Lawrence totally pranks her interviewer


Lovable Jennifer Lawrence was rude to an interviewer? It can't be true!

And it wasn't. J-Law acted like a difficult interviewee (though we've definitely seen worse) when she talked to YouTube channel Smosh at a junket. But here's the thing: The interviewer was also trying to prank her.

As part of the #PrankItFwd charity movement, a boy named Dylan with Duchenne muscular dystrophy helped set up a plan to have Hunger Games co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson feed Jennifer Lawrence lines in an ear piece, while the personalities of channel Smosh were doing the same thing on their end. Lawrence knew what the other guys were doing, but they didn't know that she was in on the whole thing.

The double prank created some funny moments, like Lawrence pretending not to understand a joke about pita ("Peeta") bread, the actress shooting her interviewer in the face with a Nerf gun (after first skillfully shooting an apple off of his head) and the Oscar winner ultimately walking out of the room, complaining how "disrespectful" her interviewer was. The Mockingjay guys-- including a stern, intimidating Hemsworth-- finally came out to scare the Smosh team, and then reveal that it was all a joke.
