You really can find anything on Craigslist. Just ask Jennifer Lawrence, who shared a particularly bizarre sale while promoting her new movie, No Hard Feelings
In the film, Lawrence’s character answers a couple’s Internet ad searching for a girlfriend on behalf of their teenage son (Andrew Barth Feldman). In a turn of events that could only be described as kismet, the 32-year-old actor has her own Craigslist story involving Lee Eisenberg, a writing partner of No Hard Feelings director Gene Stupnitsky.
“Years ago, Lee Eisenberg bought a toilet on Craigslist from my mom. My toilet,” Lawrence told People. I know you have so many follow-up questions, but J.Law doesn’t why her mom sold the toilet: “I’m like, ‘I broke it.’ My mom sold it for me.” Lawrence did say that Eisenberg knew whose toilet he was purchasing, which is “how we know the story now.” She added, “So thanks, Mom.”
Jennifer Lawrence, who welcomed her first child in February 2022, was in the midst of her two-year-long break from acting when she read the No Hard Feelings script. “I definitely wasn’t planning on going back to work,” she told People. “But it was the funniest thing I ever read and I wanted to make it right away.”
Honestly, J. Law has been missed. Very few celebrities are as entertaining during press tours as the Hunger Games star, who is known for her iconic red carpet-mishaps, impeccable style, and hilarious stories about her A-list besties. Rob Pattinson comes close, but mostly because he lies a lot. Of course, Lawrence has also admitted to bending the truth in the past. You know, for the bit.
During a 60 Minutes interview from 2018, Lawrence revealed she used to “invent stories” as a kid, including lying to teachers and classmates about having a wooden leg. “I, like, walked in a very consistent limp. Like, incredibly consistent,” she said. “And when my mom came to get me from school, my teachers were, like, ‘It’s awful what happened to Jennifer’s leg.’ And my mom was, like, ‘She does not have—she’s—her leg has not been amputated.’ I used to just invent stories just to invent them.”
