For her [guest-hosting gig on _Jimmy Kimmel Live_](http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/30/jimmy-kimmel-live-channing-tatum-jennifer-lawrence-guest-hosts/) Thursday night, the Oscar winner shocked fans on the street when she emerged to challenge people to name five of her movies. Just five, but it proved to be a difficult challenge. Most people — aside from Kimmel righthand man Guillermo — couldn’t do it, even though there was an ad for her latest film, [_mother!_](http://ew.com/movies/2017/09/18/mother-paramount-defense/), plastered on the side of a double-decker bus across the street. At best, the game turned into something more akin to asking your parents what kind of movies they’re thinking about: some of the answers were, “The one where you’re the woman who’s…,” “You definitely played the blue, you were like the blue…,” and “there’s a space one with the hot guy.” “The point was to put them on the spot and humiliate myself, and guess what? Both happened!” Lawrence said as she introduced the clip on _Kimmel_.

[ SOUND ] While promoting Passengers in London, Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt stopped by BBC One for a round of Playground Insults. And the friendly co- starts threw some pretty hilarious insults at each other. You are so old that your publicist is a registered nurse. [ LAUGH ] Let's mark down that. It's such a shame to meet somebody you thought you'd like. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] And sometimes they even struggle to be a little mean. You highlight- Stop, don't you psyche me out. I like you- You shut your mouth. I like you- Shut up. So much. You are so stupid. It's a shame- That your three year old son has probably taught you everything you know. [ LAUGH ] Lawrence went on Jimmy Kimmel Monday night, and the late night host showed the actors the pictures Pratt posted of the two of them during the passengers press tour. Here's another one. [ LAUGH ] This one said, just hanging with my bestie, Jen. [ LAUGH ] Here's Jen and I. [ LAUGH ] And that's you, I'm guessing. [ LAUGH ] So Lawrence decided to get back at her buddy. [ APPLAUSE ] Hi everyone. Seeing all these. Can I help you Jimmy?
