Jennifer Lawrence just got very real about her experience working with Bryan Singer.
The 32-year-old Oscar-winning actress spoke about the director during a roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Actor, in which she participated in alongside fellow actresses Michelle Williams, Danielle Deadwyler, Claire Foy, Michelle Yeoh, and Emma Corin.
Bryan has been the subject of many allegations throughout the years. He worked with Jennifer on X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014) and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016).
Jennifer’s comments on Bryan were made after she spoke about her experience working with a female director on her new film, Causeway. She opened up about about working with director Lila Neugebauer:
“We had a female director. The schedule made sense. There were no huge fights. If an actor had a personal thing and wanted to leave early, instead of going, ‘Oh! Well, we’d all love to leave early!’ we’d put our heads together and go, ‘OK. How can we figure this out?’ We disagreed, and we listened to each other.
Sometimes I was wrong and would learn that I was wrong, and sometimes I was right. It was incredible to not be around toxic masculinity, to get a little break from it. And it did always just make us laugh about how we ended up with, ‘Women shouldn’t be in roles like this because we’re so emotional.’”
That’s when she slammed Bryan with her next comment, which has seen gone viral:
“I mean, I’ve worked with Bryan Singer. I’ve seen emotional men. I’ve seen the biggest hissy fits thrown on set.”
Jennifer added:
“[Lila’s] my third female director, and they are the calmest, best decision-makers I’ve ever worked with. I absolutely love working with female directors.”
