Jennifer Lawrence was arrested at the airport in London

The other day, in one of the broadcasts of "The Graham Norton Show" on BBC, 25-year-old American actress Jennifer Lawrence said that 6 years ago, she spent 5 hours in a pre-trial detention cell. The incident occurred at the London airport and made an indelible impression on the girl.

Jennifer's passport expired

Lawrence flew to the UK to meet with the director of the future film "X-Men: First Class" by Matthew Vaughn. He wanted to get to know Lawrence closer, in order to understand how fit she was for the role of Mystic.

"When Matthew received an offer to meet in London, I did not hesitate a moment and immediately said:" Yes. " However, already before the flight I realized that I had a passport for six months overdue. The US airport released me without a single question, but there were problems in London, "Jennifer began to tell. The truth before departure the girl had time to consult to friends and those advised her not to admit that she was flying to the UK for work. "You know, if you confess, then you will be required to ask a work visa, but you do not have it. You'd better say that you've come to rest. See the sights, get acquainted with the culture, etc. ", - said the guys. However, at that time, the actress was tortured by conscience and fear, because she would have to lie to the passport control officer. Then the actress decided that in order for her story to be believable, you need to prepare it by inventing it in advance, and then just believe in it.

Lawrence did not manage to deceive the airport employee

Before talking to the passport control officer, the actress repeatedly spoke the possible scenario of their conversation, but when the time for communication came, she was confused. "I stood there like a dug-in, my eyes dropped to the floor and only breathed from time to time," Jennifer said. And then the survey began:

- The purpose of your visit to London?

- Relax.

- What do you plan to do in London?

"I will attend my brother's wedding."

- Where will the ceremony take place?

"In Wimbledon."

"Is he an American citizen?"

- Yes.

- Show the invitation, please

- I do not have it.

"Are you telling the truth?"

- No! I came up with everything because I do not have a work visa, and my passport expired, and I really need to meet with one person.

After such an unexpected confession, Lawrence was taken to the cell at the airport, where they kept him until they received confirmation of the meeting from Matthew Vaughn.
