Jennifer Lawrence has a false tooth in her new movie: the actress told what happened
For Jennifer Lawrence, filming the Netflix movie 'Don't Look Up' meant going through a series of embarrassing moments and even the production had to replace one of her teeth with CGI. We explain why.
Watch a video about the actress's outgoing personality:
The actress who rose to fame for her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in 'The Hunger Games,' she took time off from the movies, but is now back in the Netflix movie 'Don't Look Up.'
In the plot of the film, Jennifer Lawrence plays an astronomer who, along with her teacher played by Leonardo DiCaprio, discovers an asteroid that is about to collide with Earth. However, wanting to alert the world and the government, no one takes them seriously.
The film by director Adam McKay arrives on Netflix on December 24, but for Lawrence the filming was one of the ones that has left her with the most anecdotes and challenges in her career.
Jennifer Lawrence and her fake CGI tooth
The 'Joy' actress confessed to Yahoo! in an interview that she did a drugged scene with Meryl Streep, but that wasn't the only or most embarrassing thing that happened on set.
In the program 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert, she said that the teeth that are seen on the tape are not entirely hers, because one of her teeth is false and was generated in a computer (CGI) in post production .
The actress said that at the beginning of the recordings she lost a tooth when she bit something hard, but because they were recording during the pandemic, Netflix's protocols to avoid contagion prohibited them from going anywhere other than the recordings.
“And I lost a tooth, like, very early in the shoot… it was eating a lollipop, it was really really stupid. It was a dental veneer. But if someone knows what is under the veneers, it is much worse, it is like a pointed fang. So, I lost it and couldn't go to the dentist because of COVID, so they did my tooth on a computer."

But in addition to recording the entire tape without a tooth, the 'X-Men: First Class' actress also said that she had problems with a piercing that her character wore and several times ended up passing it to her throat.
Like Kate in the film she has a jovial and rebellious look, she wears a nose ring. The filming used metal pieces, but the problem was that they could be separated and the actress ended up inhaling the piece.
In addition to her surprise at accidentally swallowing the pieces, Lawrence had an immediate reaction to the piercing and she would spit them out. She confessed that she repeatedly spat at DiCaprio between scenes.
