Jennifer Lawrence admits to talk show host she had a crush on him: 'I was going to ask you out'

There must be something about those US late-night hosts. Earlier this year, Nicole Kidman confessed to Jimmy Fallon they were on a date once…and he never even realised it. 

Now, Jennifer Lawrence has revealed to Late Night's Seth Meyers that she had a crush on him while guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.

The 25-year-old said she "created the romance in my head because I'm delusional" and almost asked him out.

What stopped her? A huge, important detail – watch above for the punchline to Jen's awesome story!

Jen and Seth, 41, clinked their glasses of red wine for a "cheers" over never becoming a couple. Yeah, that'll always help with the awkwardness.

The Oscar winner is currently promoting her comedy-drama Joy, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination last week.
