Jennifer Lawrence overwhelmed by The Dude at Comic-Con

Written by . Published: July 25 2013

Jennifer Lawrence was left seriously starstruck during red carpet interviews at Comic-Con when she was given the chance to grill her idol Jeff Bridges.


The Silver Linings Playbook star attended the annual convention in San Diego, California over the weekend (20-21Jul13) to promote her new films The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and X-Men: Days of Future Past.


The Oscar winner was about to leave the press area when she saw The Big Lebowski actor chatting to a reporter, and excitedly ran up to him, before shying away.


Bridges spotted her and beckoned her over, prompting a thrilled Lawrence to say, "Oh my God, I'm such a huge fan! Oh my God, I'm so sorry!"


She was then handed the microphone by the journalist, and started interviewing her hero herself, asking, "Who's your favourite character? Does it rhyme with 'The Shmude'?", in reference to his famous The Big Lebowski character The Dude.


The 22 year old then walked away beaming, adding, "Oh my God, that was so cool!"


It is not the first time Lawrence has been in awe of a Hollywood legend - she was left speechless when a flirty Jack Nicholson gatecrashed an interview after her Oscar win earlier this year (13).
