Jennifer Lawrence injured after glass exploded in her face & hit her eye on set as production for new movie is shut down
Jennifer Lawrence was injured after glass exploded in her face and "hit her eye" on set as production to her upcoming film Don't Look Up shuts down.
The actress stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the new Netflix film.
According to Page Six, the 30-year-old suffered an injury when an explosion that featured glass shattering unfortunately led to some glass making contact with Jennifer's eye.
A source explained: "An explosion was set up for a stunt in which glass shatters."
However, the insider told the outlet that while some glass hit her eye, Jennifer is expected to be "okay."
The Boston Globe also dove into details of the stunt, which featured a trash can being launched into a window, sending fragments flying in every direction - one of which crossed paths with Jennifer.
A photo, snapped by Marc Vasconcellos, shows Jennifer following the incident as people came to her aid.
The movie, currently being filmed in Boston, was shut down for the day following the scary turn of events.
Jennifer and Leonardo, 46, are set to play two astronomers who take it upon themselves to set out on a media tour to let the public know that a meteor will crash on earth in six months.
The film has plenty of heavy hitters including Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Matthew Perry, and Ariana Grande.
Production of the film was previously delayed due to the coronavirus.
It has been a rough couple of months for Jennifer, as back in November her family farm in Kentucky was charred by a “horrible fire."
One of the barns on the property completely burned down as the family said at the time they were “mourning the loss of years of hard work and memories” that occurred behind those walls.
The Oscar winner’s parents and brother, Blaine, run Camp Hi-Ho which offers fishing, swimming, paddle boating, horseback riding, archery and crafts for children and teens.
They said in a statement: “Words cannot describe the pain we are in, but we are so incredibly grateful for the Simpsonville Fire Department and all the other fire fighters who responded to our emergency. You are true heroes."
Thankfully, Jennifer's family and their animals were not harmed during the fire.
Jennifer is married to Cooke Maroney, whom she tied the knot with in 2019.
