Twenty-two-year age gap not withstanding, Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky had plenty of chemistry on-set. “We had energy,” the “Silver Linings Playbook” alum told Vogue in 2017. Per E! News, the duo made their red carpet debut that year at the Venice Film Festival; however, the relationship seemed mismatched from the start. For one thing, being a Harvard grad, Aronofsky wasn’t JLaw’s type. “I normally don’t like Harvard people, because they can’t go two minutes without mentioning that they went to Harvard,” the actress dished to Vogue.
Secondly, there was Lawrence’s well-documented love of reality TV. In order to help the actress cope with the dark thematic material of “Mother!,” the film crew created a “Kardashian tent,” where she could relax while watching her favorite show. Aronofsky was reportedly confused by the whole thing. “I was like, ‘What are you talking about, the Kardashians?'” the director told Vogue. Jlaw added that he found her taste in reality TV to be “so vastly disappointing.”

In the end, the very movie that brought Aronofsky and Lawrence together tore them apart. When “Mother!” was panned by critics, it put a strain on their relationship. “Normally, I promote a movie, ask people to go see it, and then it’s just out of your hands. I normally just kind of let it go [but] dating the director was different,” Lawrence said in an interview for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series.
