Jennifer Lawrence: Bradley Cooper is my work husband but with ‘no sex’

Jennifer Lawrence

Here are photos of Jennifer Lawrence outside the NYC screening of Serena. She wore a Dior couture mini-dress with side cutouts. I like the sparkly, striped top and the shape of the skirt, but the skirt’s fabric is fussy and fug. JLaw switched outfits for the afterparty, where she wore a black Helmut Lang dress that looked like a drawstring nightie. Her makeup looks nice, and her hair is growing out. This is also a rare public appearance. Jennifer skipped Paris fashion week for her Joy duties in Boston. I hope there haven’t been any more David O. Russell screaming matches, but he’s probably watching his mouth for now.

I have no idea why Magnolia Pictures held a Serena screening. The film’s already available on VOD and earned a dismal 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The studio trotted JLaw and Bradley Cooper out for this event anyway. This is their third movie together (and Joy will be their fourth), so Us Weekly asked the duo about their chemistry:

“Honestly, it’s just happenstance,” Cooper said of working so often with Lawrence. “We both got cast in Silver Linings, and she was going to this other movie and the role was open and so that worked out.”

The party took place at the Top of the Standard where guests sipped Belvedere cocktails — named Mountain Moonshine and Pemberton’s Punch, in keeping with the plot of the film.

After their chemistry in Silver Linings Playbook proved to be potent — the film earned Cooper an Oscar nomination and Lawrence a win — they decided to keep it up.

“I respect her so much as a professional, as an actor, and I think she’s the best there is,” the newly single actor said. “I just learn from her. You always want to work with people who are better than you.”

“And I feel the same way about him,” Lawrence added. And though they both cop to being each other’s work spouses, the Dior spokesmodel assured Us that there is “no sex!” in their relationship.

I doubt there’s ever been any romantic feelings between these two, but since Bradley just broke up with Suki Waterhouse, those old rumors will probably start up again. Is JLaw still with Chris Martin? Who knows. Bradley really likes being in a relationship because he’s very conscious about dating gossip. Now that we know BCoop doesn’t mind going young, he can’t use his fatherly excuse anymore. And he can’t joke about JLaw’s crotch without people drawing conclusions. So I expect Bradley to find a new girlfriend soon. Because with grins like these, gossip is bound to happen.

    Those two should just do each other already.

  2. Brenda says:

    He has a type and she fits it.

  3. GlimmerBunny says:

    I ship it! Not even sorry 😀

    • Kori says:

      me too. They do have an easy chemistry. Even if no romance I like her friendships with him, Hemsworth and Hutcherson.

  4. Tiffany says:

    With her bankroll I wish JL had better shoe game. Those shoes look like they came from The Barbie Collection.

  5. Airhead says:

    They make a good couple visually

  6. Samtha says:

    Oh my god, those shoes–they’re like early 90s junior prom nightmares.

  7. Jules says:

    Yeah, I must say, I love seeing these two together and could believe that they would make an adorable couple. However, I also believe Jennifer Lawrence when she says they are definitely not a couple-just very good friends.

  8. Tracy says:

    Maybe Bradley is a nice guy, and I like that they both always say nice things about each other. (Just the professional and decent thing to do, which makes me like them both.) But I think Jennifer is too smart and too independent to be interested in a guy who is such a mama’s boy, is rumored to have quite a few …um…shall we say…peccadilloes behind closed doors. She’s very smart and keeps it very real, but she’s also very young and doesn’t want all that nonsense, perhaps.

    • meme says:

      But she wants the nonsense from dating Chris Martin who’s not yet divorced from Goop and has 2 kids with her and spends A LOT of time with her. I like Jennifer and I don’t buy that Bradley’s gay. Plus he’s an excellent actor (saw him on B’way in Elephant Man). I’d rather him than pasty Chris Martin

      • kibbles says:

        Exactly. If the Chris Martin dating rumors are true, then that means she has poor judgment. Dating Bradley Cooper would be a much better choice than Chris Martin. Just on a superficial level, Cooper looks better than Martin. On a deeper level, Cooper is single, childless, and has never been married. Finally, these two do have genuine chemistry and like being together as friends. The best relationships come from friendships. Maybe when she gets older she will reconsider Cooper if he is still single.

      • RhiRhi says:

        Cooper has been married.

  9. Jules says:

    See I’m one of those that goes back and forth about whether Lawrence and Martin are actually a serious couple. Today, I think not. LOL!. So…set sail the Lawrence/Cooper ship!.

  10. Yeses says:

    Their chemistry on and off screen is undeniable….somehow I don’t see their age difference as obviously as the BCoop/Suki pairing.

    I read the book, then saw the movie, the book was so much better, I actually did not hate the movie, and would definitely see it again, it is dark and dreary but not bad at all.

    • Tig says:

      Happy to hear that someone liked the movie😃. I loved the book. However, the VOD price here is $10- so will wait a bit longer. As to “are they or aren’t they”- I vote no. I think he’s the hot guy you get your flirt on with, but that’s it.

      • Yeses says:

        I loved the movie and only reason i paid the $10 was to see why the reviews were so negative, after watching it, I seriously don’t get why the reviews were so bad…I mean it is different from the book a little, it’s a little dark and gloomy….but BC and JL have acted really well, story isn’t half bad either.

  11. Ninks says:

    Forget Cooper, bang the hot bodyguard.

  12. Kaley says:

    She’s not his type.

  13. Gill B says:

    I’m not sure Cooper has a type. I bet he wouldn’t say no to some J-Law action – but he’s definitely not her type!

    I’ve seen Serena as well. It’s not very good. Its tone is all over the place, and the script is very poor. Lawrence and Cooper are fine in it, though.

  14. applapoom says:

    I think she likes them British and sort of dorky. I don’t think there is anything between them.

  15. Cate says:

    At this point they are too good friends to something more happen. They would be a great couple though. Jen and Chris haven’t been on the same city for 2 months now are we supposed to believe they still a thing? because i don’t. I really hope she moved on from that mess. I can’t believe she got in the first place.

  16. Alex says:

    Eh Jen has tried to set Bradley up with all of her single friends. She said as much during SLP press. I doubt there’s anything there. Plus some of the photos during the premiere screams friends. They aren’t even touching and they have that awkward arms by their sides thing happening lol
    Is Jen still with Chris? I don’t think she ever was. And now the tabs are either writing love square stories or backing off that they were ever together. Which makes sense because their entire relationship is two concerts and a dinner which would make me married to most of my friend group (male and female). I still think Chris and Gwen are trolling everyone and he was still with her until Kate decided to go after him. Because I don’t know many “uncoupled” people who are still hanging out WITHOUT their kids at functions and spa retreats. So who knows.

  17. Mixtape says:

    When I look at this dress, all I see is a sparkly version of Julia Robert’s streetwalking getup from the early scenes in Pretty Woman.

    • Ursaline says:

      Haha! I didn’t think about that til you mentioned it. Bring on the hooker boots instead of the Barbie flip flops and we have a match! 🙂

  18. Happy21 says:

    I think they’ll eventually get together. They have a great chemistry and I just think it’ll happen naturally and it will happen…

  19. A.Key says:

    They have a sibling aura. She acts like his younger sister and he treats her as such. I’ve never bought them as a couple together, not in Silver Linings or anything else.

    • it'sjustblanche says:

      Same here. There’s good friendship chemistry but I’m not getting more than that. Also, I wonder if her gross comments aren’t a bit of a turnoff to some me. She’s lovely but you get tired of that sort of thing, you know?

  20. Lucy says:

    Just here to say that I missed Jen so much!! She looks great.

  21. inner stillness says:

    I Don’t get the hype w JLAW’s looks, she is just sort of meh.
    She’s a wonderful actress though, love her acting.

  22. kennedy says:

    She has AMAZING skin.
