- Jennifer Lawrence addressed speculation that she had a "secret fling" with Liam Hemsworth.
- Rumors have been rife since Miley Cyrus released the music video for her breakup ballad "Flowers."
Jennifer Lawrence has set the record straight on the rumors that she had a "secret fling" with her "Hunger Games" costar Liam Hemsworth.
Appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" Monday, host Andy Cohen asked Lawrence whether anything ever happened between her and Hemsworth.
It's something fans have been speculating about ever since Hemsworth's ex, Miley Cyrus, released the music video for the song "Flowers," which they think includes sartorial shade toward Lawrence.
"There was a lot of talk that the music video was referencing a secret fling that you had with Liam Hemsworth while he was with Miley Cyrus," Cohen said.
Before he could even finish the question, the 32-year-old actor cut him off. "Not true," she said.
"Can you please respond to this?" Cohen continued.
"I would love to. It's not true. Total rumor," Lawrence responded.
"I mean we all know we only kissed one time and it was years after they broke up," she continued, referencing an admission she had made on "Watch What Happens Live" in 2015, around the time of the final "Hunger Games" film's release.
At the time, Lawrence was asked whether she and her on-screen love interest had ever kissed when the cameras weren't rolling, to which she coyly replied: "Liam and I grew up together. Liam's real hot."
"What would you have done?" she asked laughing, before confirming that she and Hemsworth had once kissed.
"I would say yes," Cohen responded. "I mean, I'd have picked Gale over Peeta any day."
"I did, at one point," Lawrence said.
However, during her appearance on the show Monday, Lawrence said she "just assumed that was a coincidence" that Cyrus had worn a slinky gold vintage Saint Laurent dress that closely resembled the gown she had worn at the first "Hunger Games" film premiere in 2012, where she posed alongside Hemsworth and her other costar, Josh Hutcherson.
After shutting down the speculation, Lawrence turned toward the audience and asked: "Are you satisfied?"
Last week, during an appearance on "Hot Ones," Lawrence opened up about her kissing scenes with Hemsworth and admitted that she ate food with strong stenches beforehand, but didn't purposely do it to troll him.
"It was not intentional," Lawrence said on the episode. "It was just, like, what I was eating, and then we'd kiss. He should just, you know, get over it."
