Jennifer Lawrence Recounts ‘Itch’ Mishap: Almost Caused Crew Member Harm When Rock Rolled Down Cliff While Scratching

The moral of her tale… never scratch your butt on a sacred rock when you’re in Hawaii because it could kill someone.

That’s according to Jennifer Lawrence, who told the hilarious story on BBC One’s Graham Norton Show in London on Friday night.

The late-night host kicked off the conversation by saying: ‘You filmed some of The Hunger Games films in Hawaii…’

At which the surprised 26-year-old actress cut in saying: ‘Oh God, how do you know about this?’

And she raised her glass to whoever it was that spilled the beans, as the audience laughed.

It turns out that Jennifer was wearing a wet suit for a scene when her bum became itchy, so she sat on a rock and began rubbing it back and forth to scratch it.

‘It ended up coming loose,’ Jennifer giggled. ‘And it was a giant boulder and it rolled down this mountain and it almost killed our sound guy!’

To make matters worse the rocks are sacred to the indigenous people  ‘and you’re not supposed to sit on them,’ she added.

‘It was this huge dramatic deal and all the Hawaiians were like, “It’s the curse!” And I’m over in the corner going, “I’m your curse. I wedged it loose with my ass.” ’

Jennifer looked chic in a black velvet dress and jacket with her blonde hair in an elegant updo for the interview.
