Most of us would kill for the opportunity to hang out with Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet, but according to Jennifer Lawrence it was 'absolute misery' filming with the A-Listers.

Back in 2021, the three actors starred alongside Jonah Hill and Meryl Streep, in Adam McKay's Netflix hit Don't Look Up.

But as it turns out, the action-comedy about a giant meteor careening towards Earth wasn't all fun and games.

In fact, it was miserable for one actress.

The movie arrived on Netflix in December 2021, and as Covid-19 restrictions were easing off, it was the first time some of the stars had contact with other humans in a long time.

This meant that it was a recipe for disaster, according to Lawrence.

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Lawrence recalled a moment where she was filming one scene from the movie which involved herself, Chalamet and DiCaprio driving in a car together.

She described it as the 'most annoying day of [her] life'.

"They drove me crazy that day. I don't know what it was," she told Colbert.

The Hunger Games star - who's also opened up about her frustration for being paid $5 million less than DiCaprio for the movie - added: "Timothée was just excited to be out of the house, I think it was his first scene.

"And Leo had picked the song that was playing in the car and was just like, 'You know, this song is about blah, blah, blah.'"

Lawrence did go on to assure that both of the stars are 'very nice’ but added: "I don't know. I just remember being in absolute misery that day."

However, DiCaprio and Chalamet weren't the only actors Lawrence struggled to work with on the movie.

The actress also told Vanity Fair that Hill made filming 'really hard' - but not because he was being annoying.

She explained "It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing. We one time dedicated an entire day to him just improv-ing insults at me. It was amazing.

"I mean, he’s [Hill's] a master, he's a comedic master. I mean we all did some [improv], just not as well as Jonah."

Despite this, Lawrence told Colbert she was 'of course' starstruck on the set of the movie.

I mean, who wouldn’t be when it featured appearances from Mark Rylance, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett and Chris Evans?

She joked that she 'felt like garbage' among the stars, adding: "I was like, 'Don't worry about it, you don't have to talk to me!' But yeah, that was amazing."
