Jennifer Lawrence, has always been unfiltered during interviews and now she’s revealing that she has a new celebrity crush: “Call Me by Your Name” star Timothée Chalamet .
During an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Lawrence said that she’s a fan, and joked that she’s “waiting for him to get a little bit older.”
“Timothée, I’m waiting for him to get a little bit older, you know?” Lawrence said.
According to the 27-year-old actress, she wouldn’t mind waiting a few more years, since she considers him to be much younger than her.
“[I’m] buttering him up like a pig for slaughter, and then I’m going to swing right in there as soon as he’s, like, 30,” she added.
Before she continued, she had a brief moment where she questioned exactly how old he is, just in case her comments were inappropriate.
“He’s old enough to say that, right?” she said. “He’s over 18? What if I was like, ‘He’s hot!’ and he’s 15?'”
After finding out that Chalamet is 22 years old, Lawrence said that she “didn’t realize he was so young.”
Regardless of his age, she still finds him attractive.
“Tell him to wait!” Lawrence said. “[He’s] so, so talented and hot.”
To be fair, an age gap of five years between Lawrence and Chalamet isn’t as big a deal as she might think. There are actually several Hollywood couples with even bigger differences in age.
