Jennifer Lawrence & Robert Pattinson Take Lie Detector Tests

You famously once auditioned for Twilight?

Yeah, I auditioned for Twilight.

Do you think

that Hunger Games is cooler than Twilight?

[low tense music]

[dramatic tone thudding]

Jennifer- Yeah.

[Presenter] Robert,

we've brought you here today to take a lie detector test.

One of you will be hooked up to the machine,

while the other will ask the questions,

and then you'll switch.

This is Lou, our polygraph operator.

Hi, Lou.

Hello. Good to meet you.

[Presenter] Who wants to be in the hot seat first?

Rob.

Wait, is that the lying seat or the other one?

No, we're gonna switch.

You're gonna sit here. Alright, alright,

okay, okay. And it's the truth seat.

[laughing] The truth seat. [Jennifer laughing]

[bright droning music] [plugs clicking]

[electricity buzzing]

How can you do...

Alright, now I need this hand here.

These measure galvanic skin response,

which is otherwise known as sweating.

Oh, God.

He sweats a lot.

[laughing] It does tickle.

Okay,

I'm gonna ask a few questions to calibrate the machine.

Is your full name Robert Douglas Thom Pattinson?

Yes.

[Jennifer] Are you about to take a polygraph test?

Yes.

[Jennifer] Are you nervous?

Yes.

[dramatic tone thudding]

[Jennifer] You once said

you wanted to be a rapper named Big Tub.

Mmm.

Do you want to be Big Tub, instead of being an actor?

Ooh.

Um, [sighing] I think it'd be tough now.

I think there was a time when that was true.

Yes or no?

No.

Big Tub?

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

Have you ever discussed your younger rap ambitions

with this guy?

[laughing] I have not, actually.

No?

Truthful.

Okay.

He rode a Lime bike to the premiere of his film last year,

did that make you jealous?

It did, it's very good idea.

[Jennifer laughing]

When you were a kid, your sisters

would dress you up as a little girl named Claudia.

Hmm.

[Jennifer] Are you the one that came up with her name,

Claudia? Oh, of course not.

Your sisters?

Yeah 'cause I looked like Claudia Schiffer.

That's actually not true. [laughing]

I didn't look anything like her.

[Jennifer laughing]

Yeah, that is actually kind of insane

for you to think that you looked like Claudia Schiffer.

Wait, what is-

Do you think I look like Claudia Schiffer?

[Robert] Yeah.

Thanks. Lou?

Truthful.

Am I the prettiest woman you've ever seen?

Ah!

Deceptive.

Wow. [Robert laughing]

Thank you for not just saying no.

A teacher once told you that you shouldn't be an actor.

[Robert laughing]

Have you ever thought maybe that teacher had a point?

Yes, every day.

Truthful. That's a lie.

Really? [Robert laughing]

Wow.

Are you jealous that I have an Oscar and you don't?

[wincing] Oh, that's quite difficult.

I'm not jealous of you, your specific one.

I'm glad you have one.

[Jennifer laughing]

I wouldn't wanna take it off you and have it for myself.

Is that true?

True.

Wow, how sweet!

Before you were famous, you lived with Andrew Garfield,

Eddie Redmayne, Tom Sturridge,

Jamie Dornan, and Charlie Cox.

Were they all good roommates?

I only lived with Tom.

We kind of all hung out together, but like,

I think all of the other guys lived together in LA,

and we kind of all hung out.

Did you say lived together or slept together?

No, it was a one-bedroom, obviously.

Oh my God, they did all sleep together.

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

Breaking news.

But, yeah. Would you say

that you're more talented than all of them?

Ooh!

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

No, absolutely not.

Deceptive.

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

Do you think that Eddie Redmayne deserved his Oscar?

Yes.

Truthful.

Wow.

Okay.

Who's the worst actor of that bunch?

Oh, God.

[Robert laughing]

I don't know. Just plead the fifth.

I can't do that.

[Jennifer] You once worked with Josh and Benny Safdie,

on Good Time.

Yes.

[Jennifer] Would you wanna work with them again?

Yes.

Deceptive.

Oh!

What? [laughing]

That's crazy.

[Jennifer] If they were gonna direct a new Twilight,

would you do it?

Oh yeah, for sure.

I don't think you should, but okay.

It'd be great.

[Jennifer] Oh.

I like taking jobs of younger actors.

Yeah.

I do.

[Jennifer] Okay.

I wanna play 17 again.

There's a movie, Zac's movie, 17 Again.

I wanna do the same thing again every year.

I did think it was insane when you cold FaceTimed me,

and I was like, It's crazy to cold FaceTime somebody,

and you were like, No, it's Gen Z.

Do you wish you were a Gen Z? I am Gen Z.

You're not Gen Z,

you're a millennial. I am.

No, you're a millennial.

Mm-mmm.

[Jennifer] How old are you? [laughing]

Truthful?

I believe that you believe that you're Gen Z.

I am Gen Z.

What year were you born?

It doesn't matter.

[laughing] Okay.

I can't do this.

[Robert laughing]

Oh, I already know the answer to this,

but when was the last time you actually called

to make a dinner reservation?

Never.

I don't do that.

[Jennifer] I don't think you'd ever have.

Yeah, I literally...

If I wanna make a reservation,

I have to call and pretend to be my own assistant.

Well, you don't have to. [laughing]

That's just something that you choose to do.

Hi, I'm calling from the office of Robert Pattinson.

[Jennifer laughing]

While making The Lighthouse,

you would sneak off to vomit [laughing]

to get in the right head space before a scene.

Is that true?

I wouldn't sneak off.

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

I'd just do it.

How could you make yourself vomit?

I can literally sit here and make myself vomit,

like just by thinking about it.

Do you have bulimia?

No.

It's like a highly-attuned gag reflex.

He's being honest.

[Robert laughing]

[Jennifer] Does this photo turn you on?

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

It actually does.

It's a really beautiful...

But it's a very specific one of him.

Were you afraid you would get a boner

when you were doing a slow dance with Willem Dafoe?

Yes.

True!

Wow.

Did you get a boner?

[Robert laughing]

[Jennifer laughing]

He did not have a boner.

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

Did you lie at any point during this interview,

and we didn't catch you?

No, literally, I'm on another planet.

I don't even know where I am.

Oh, you're done.

Cool. [laughing] I think you did good.

Thanks. [laughing]

I'm nervous.

I'm really nervous.

I've sweated so much into these things,

I don't think they're usable. Ew,

are those the same ones I have to use?

Look at them, there's a hand print.

They are. Ew!

[dramatic tone thudding]

I'm getting like, spikes.

I'm gonna ask you a few questions

to calibrate the machine.

Okay.

Is your full name Jennifer Shrader Lawrence?

Yes.

Is that a last name, or a first name?

Well, I guess my name now is Jennifer Lawrence Maroney,

but my born name is Jennifer Shrader Lawrence.

[Robert] Is that just your middle name, like a-

I just begged for that to be my middle name.

It's my grandma's maiden name. [laughing]

That's a cool name.

Oh, thanks.

Shrader Lawrence.

Yeah, Shrader.

I tried to by Shrader for a while.

[Robert] That'd be so cool.

Yeah.

Are you from Kentucky?

Yes.

Everything I'm saying feels like a lie,

is it registering as a lie?

Nope.

You're doing fine.

[Robert] Are you about to take a polygraph test?

Yes.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

I guess I never realized how much I lie in interviews.

'Cause now that I'm hooked up to a machine

and I'm like, I can't lie, I'm nervous.

And it's like, well,

how often am I just lying through interviews?

I've always thought you have quite a deceptive face.

[Jennifer laughing]

[dramatic tone thudding]

In your last lie detector test,

you said you think everyone hates you.

Mm-hmm.

Do you still believe that?

Yes.

[Robert] Why?

I don't know why anybody wouldn't hate me,

I can't think of one reason.

I mean, my kids, 'cause they have no other option.

I'm their only mother.

They don't hate you?

I don't think they hate me, yet.

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

[laughing] Do they?

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

The funny part about Rob doin' the lie detector test

is he doesn't understand the nuance

between what is a lie to you and what is the truth?

Like, this isn't like a magical machine,

and you're like, Wait, is it true?

Can it tell the future?

Yeah, no, it's just like if you're lying or not.

I think that you think

this is a magic crystal ball or something.

Okay, continue.

You're just stupid.

You famously once auditioned for Twilight?

Yeah, I auditioned for Twilight.

Do you wish you'd booked the part?

No.

Why?

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

Wait. Hmm,

do you think the Hunger Games is cooler than Twilight?

No.

Truthful.

Ah! [laughing]

Breaking news!

[Jennifer laughing]

Breaking news, this machine is broken. [laughing]

Did you see The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes?

Yes.

[Robert] Did you like it?

Yes.

Be honest,

do you think your version of The Hanging Tree

was better than this woman's?

No, obviously not.

You learned to skin squirrels for Winter's Bone.

[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.

Do you think you could still skin a squirrel?

I think I can skin any mammal.

Very truthful.

[Robert] [laughing] Interesting.

Is this person your best friend?

Yes.

Are you jealous that she has two Oscars,

and you only have one?

Yeah. [laughing]

Truthful.

[Jennifer laughing]

Do you judge me that I have none?

Yes.

No, of course not.

You deserve many.

Is it safe to say

Emma is a more responsive texter than you?

Yes.

She's a much better responder.

Why did you get to ask me if I have a boner and stuff,

what was going on? 'Cause I made them up!

Right, right, right, right, right.

Do you text... [speaking gibberish]

[Robert laughing]

Well, just think of something.

I'd love to straighten a few things out

while I am hooked up to this machine.

Yeah?

Did I accidentally fall going up to the Oscars,

was that fall real? You've answered this shit.

I know, but not hooked up to a machine.

Well, you obviously did accidentally.

Yes, I did.

[Robert] Yeah.

And the following year, I did fall on a cone.

It was an accident.

Truthful.

Oh wait, hang on a second.

Is Emma a better friend than this person?

Who is that person?

You're shaking the picture, I can't see.

Oh, Adele?

Well, Emma and I live in the same city.

I'm geographically closer.

In 2019, you and Adele crashed a gay bar,

where according to onlookers, you tackled her-

Yeah.

During a drinking game.

Can you confirm or deny this happened?

Confirm.

Tackled her?

Well, I mean,

I don't remember what my headspace was at the time,

I was in a bar.

But it must have seemed prudent.

Hmm.

When was the last time you tackled someone?

Probably that.

No, I tackled you in the kitchen while we were shooting,

remember?

I was paranoid 'cause I weigh so much more than you.

I thought I was gonna snap your spine.

That wasn't really a tackle, you jumped on my back.

It was like a tackle

when you counter in our weight differences.

You talk about your love of reality television.

Do you still keep up with the Kardashians?

Not this season.

I have been, on TikTok, but no.

Is this woman your favorite Kardashian?

Yes.

Kourtney is more annoying than ever.

Why?

She drives me nuts.

Why?

Because everything has to be an announcement.

It's like, ya know, I'm not gonna wear outfits anymore,

like just wear whatever you want,

don't make an announcement about it.

Or like, I don't have a TV in my room,

like just don't watch TV, stop announcing it.

Just shh!

Is there anything you'd like to announce right now?

I'm in love with you. [laughing]

Always have, always will.

Do you know what a merkin is?

I do, I do.

I've worn quite a few.

Well, you didn't say that to me. [laughing]

What?

[Robert] I can't even make a good joke.

I don't get it.

I don't wanna do interviews with you today.

I'm literally trying my best.

A merkin, I've never seen you wear a merkin.

Yes, you have, Rob.

[laughing] I have not.

If that was a merkin, then-

Rob.

That was not my real... [laughing]

Whatever it was- Did you not know

that that was a merkin?

I've had nightmares about it ever since.

Did you seriously not know that it was a merkin?

I don't know what it was.

[Jennifer laughing]

I caught a glimpse of it, and I turned away.

Ran!

[Jennifer and Robert continue laughing]

Will you buy one of Kim's new Skims merkins?

Wait, she's making merkins?

Mm-hmm. That's unusual.

No, I'll get it for free.

But just for everyday use?

Well, probably not every day,

probably like, you know, somebody's birthday.

That's kind of an interesting thing,

like to just go to the beach and be like,

I'm just wanna wear a merkin instead of a bikini.

Yeah, well,

it looks like a rabbit foot, like a good luck charm.

I like that.

Your love of Cool Ranch Doritos

led to staining several dresses.

Is ruining designer dresses part of your acting process?

I suppose you could say that, but no.

And I've gotten a lot better.

Truthful.

Would you consider yourself a clumsy person?

No.

Deceptive.

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

While auditioning for X-Men-

Mm-hmm. You lied

to a customs official about attending your brother's wedding

because you didn't have a work visa.

Mm-hmm.

[Robert] Do you typically lie to government officials?

No.

Deceptive.

[Jennifer and Robert laughing]

Have you ever lied to me?

I'm like, you could've, you could've.

Probably, I'm sure I did.

If you were like, Do you think I should do another take?

And I'm like, No, you were great!

I'm just kidding. [Robert laughing]

I've never asked that in my life.

No, I don't think I've ever been deceptive to you.

I don't think

we've ever had an important enough conversation

for me to lie.

Have you ever lied to Meryl Streep?

No.

[Robert] Interesting.

What, do you lie to Meryl Streep?

I don't think I've lied to her, but I was curious.

Well, you obviously have lied to her though,

someone's obviously heard about a lie.

Why would I lie to Meryl Streep,

what would I lie to her about?

If I asked you to withhold information from the FBI

to cover for me, would you?

No.

Of course not. [Robert laughing]

Yeah, Sorry, boys, Mommy has to go to prison for Rob?

[Jennifer laughing]

Do you think you're pickier about roles now

than you were a few years ago?

Yes.

Is there a director who you'd never say no to?

Well, yeah, but he's never asked me to be in anything.

Who?

Christopher Nolan.

He's brilliant.

Must be nice.

[Robert laughing]

Tell him I say hi.

Your No Hard Feelings costar, Andrew Barth Feldman,

said the two of you broke the ice

by telling each other your deepest, darkest secrets.

Do you have a lot of deep, dark secrets?

No.

And I can't imagine what I would've told him,

he was like 17.

That would be kind of weird.

[laughing] That's a strange thing for him to say,

if he's making it up.

It'd be a stranger if it's true.

And I was like,

Come here, teenager, let me tell ya some stuff.

[Jennifer laughing]

Do you think you shared any deep dark secrets with me?

Probably.

If you have, like, nothing has registered.

[Robert laughing]

Thank you.

♪ Let's hear it for the man of the year ♪

[Robert laughing]

[Robert] Can you share a deep, dark secret with Louie?

Um, I... [tisking]

What is a deep, dark secret?

God, my life is so boring now.

I don't think I even have one.

Sometimes I go into my room to pretend to work,

but I open my laptop and then I turn the TV on.

And then if I hear somebody come in, I turn the TV off,

but my laptop's open.

Truthful.

[sighing] That feels good to get that off my chest.

That is working, isn't it?

Watching TV?

Yeah. Just pretending to work.

Yeah, I'm acting like I'm working. [laughing]

Die My Love makes motherhood seem a bit scary.

Do you find it scary?

No.

You starred in another movie, called Mother.

Do you think parenthood just isn't that scary for dads?

Yeah.

I don't know what you guys would be scared of.

Do you think

there's a lack of representation of scary daddy movies?

No.

You wanna see a scary mother movie,

I'll show you my belly button.

[Robert and Jennifer laughing]

When you were 22, you said,

I do feel like the reason I was put on this earth

is to be a mother.

Really, you said that at 22?

Yeah.

[Robert] Really?

Yeah.

Was it true then?

Yeah!

Absolutely truthful.

Absolutely truthful.

[Robert] Interesting.

Yeah.

Do you stand by most of the things you've said

in past interviews?

No.

You said, As soon as someone farts around me,

I think it's hilarious, is that accurate?

[Jennifer laughing]

That's of course accurate, farts are very funny,

but I don't think I ever said that.

I've been seeing a lot of fake quotes on Twitter lately.

Not that I look at myself on Twitter.

Truthful.

[Jennifer laughing]

I've gotta commit a crime.

I would just be runnin' laps around these people.

Have you ever committed a crime?

No.

Deceptive.

I think that I watch so much true crime

that I probably feel like I have, but I-

I wonder if you forget you've done it, does that-

Rob, once again, it registers a lie.

So if you believe- I know,

but if you don't know you've lied.

Exactly, then it will just-

[Robert] You can't even remember it happening.

Then it'll say the truth, it's not a magical machine.

But if you don't remember if you did it or not.

Then if you said no, you would believe it,

and so it would say truth.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Did you lie at any point during this interview?

But I mean, I've kind of-

Yeah, I lied multiple times during this interview.

Did you fart?

No.

Truthful.

[Jennifer laughing]

[whirring echoing music]
