While she was there, however, she revealed that she got into a “real bar fight” while filming on location in Budapest after a fan responded rudely after she politely declined a selfie with him. “I was drunk, which is rare,” Lawrence said with a chuckle. “This guy asked me for a selfie and I was like, ‘No. Thank you. No.’ He was like, ‘Please! My girlfriend will never believe me.’ My friend was like, ‘If your girlfriend won’t believe you then she’s not The One.'” After asking the fan to go away, he had some less than savory words for her, which set into motion the bar fight. “Something in me just snapped — but it couldn’t have been the alcohol,” she said. “I grabbed him, I took beers and I started dousing him, all over him.” Lawrence didn’t stop there, however; she saw that the fan also had a suitcase and made quick work covering that in beer as well. “I was like, ‘Is that your sh-t?!’ I started pouring beers all over his suitcase. My friend Chris came up, grabbed me from behind and goes, ‘Don’t waste beer! Don’t waste beer!’ I instantly relaxed. I was like, ‘Of course! What was I thinking?'” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4943429/jennifer-lawrence-on-bar-fight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4943429/jennifer-lawrence-on-bar-fight/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Continues to Be Relatable With This Charming Bar Fight Story","datePublished":"2017-09-15T15:56:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:17.370Z","description":"Of course","url":"https://time.com/4943429/jennifer-lawrence-on-bar-fight/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Jennifer Lawrence","Late Night","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf30df343d42b0e6d/6988ddf486f68e2c3c6e66e7/jennifer-lawrence-bar-fight-budapest.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf30df343d42b0e6d/6988ddf486f68e2c3c6e66e7/jennifer-lawrence-bar-fight-budapest.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"mother!\" New York Premiere","caption":"\"mother!\" New York Premiere","creditText":"Gilbert Carrasquillo—GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4943429/jennifer-lawrence-on-bar-fight/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Continues to Be Relatable With This Charming Bar Fight Story"}}]}] ```
