Jennifer Lawrence got to pick her fake tabloid boyfriend
There have been reports for a while that Jennifer Lawrence and her Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper are a real-life fling, but they’ve both denied that they’re dating. In fact, it looks like Bradley isn’t ready to settle down.
Part of the Hollywood PR machine involves planting stories about rumored love affairs between costars, and in Jennifer’s case she got to pick exactly which co-star to be matched with.
The Oscar winner spoke with MTV about her involvement in the PR romance mill (via US Weekly):
“My publicist told me that a magazine was going to say I was having a thing with either [The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s] Sam Claflin or Bradley Cooper, and I got to choose. And I chose Bradley Cooper because I love Sam’s fiancee [actress Laura Haddock] so much,” Lawrence said. “Sam is so sweet. So sweet that he’s almost not hot anymore.”
Sam Claflin and fiancee Laura Haddock:
Jennifer may not be dating Bradley, but she has been setting him up with her friends: “I feel like all I’ve been doing lately is setting him up. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m gonna save time and just get you a booklet with pictures of my friends. You just go through and pick them out, because this is getting exhausting.'”
