Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> managed to accidentally take prescription drugs twice while filming different movie projects\u2014and in a recent interview, she got candid about those bizarre experiences.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Variety for an \u201cActors on Actors\u201d<\/a> profile alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Lawrence recalled one incident, in 2017, while she was filming spy thriller Red Sparrow. \u201cYou and I are both obsessive about sleep when we\u2019re working, like counting the hours,\u201d she told her Don\u2019t Look Up co-star before explaining that she had meant to take a sleeping pill to get some rest before a shoot day, but instead accidentally took an Adderall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t sleep all night,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cI was taking hot showers in a panic. I am not somebody who can function without sleep. And then I had to say the phrase \u2018Senate Armed Services Committee\u2019 in a Russian accent. That sucked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress then remembered another accidental drug use experience, which happened earlier, in 2012, as she was filming Hunger Games: Catching Fire<\/a> (released in November 2013).<\/p>\n

\u201cI also once took an Ambien in the morning, thinking it was something else. It was a dance scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman on the second Hunger Games movie. I was hallucinating. Elizabeth Banks got really annoyed with me,\u201d Lawrence recalled.<\/p>\n

The scene she referred to shows her character, Katniss Everdeen, reluctantly dancing with Hoffman\u2019s character, Plutarch Heavensbee, on their first official meeting after he is elected Head Gamemaker for the 75th Hunger Games. The moment is a meaningful one, as Plutarch sets his eye on Katniss as the future savior of the community, and the two later join forces to conduct a revolution against the Capital.<\/p>\n

A great actor never tells.<\/p>\n
