The Oscar award-winning actress took the helm of the loudspeaker on a Delta flight from New Orleans to Los Angeles, asking her fellow flight passengers to cheer on the Eagles, in a move that was very much in character with her alter ego in _Silver Linings Playbook_, which she starred in alongside noted [die-hard Philly fan, Bradley Cooper](http://time.com/5133200/bradley-cooper-philadelphia-eagles-meme/). “Everybody, this is not the pilot speaking,” she said. This is Jennifer Lawrence. It’s February 4th, Super Bowl Sunday, and we all know what that means. Can I please get a ‘Fly, Eagles, fly’? Fly, Eagles fly! Fly eagles fly!” Following Lawrence’s chant, the actress then cracked a joke from the infamous airplane scene in _Bridesmaids_, remarking, “There’s a colonial woman on the plane, she’s wearing traditional…” before being stopped by a flight attendant.
