Jennifer Lawrence falling over 'is an act' says Jared Leto

Jared Leto reckons that Jennifer Lawrence's habit of falling over at public events might all be a big act.

Lawrence has managed to fall over twice at the Oscars now, once when she was collecting her Best Actress gong last year, and again on the red carpet at this year's event.

“You know, I'm starting to wonder if this is a bit of an act,” he told Access Hollywood.

The rock star-turned-actor made the remarks after J-Law called him and his family out for laughing just before she was about to present him with his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in Dallas Buyers Club.

Lawrence was heard to say' Why are you laughing? What, is this funny? I'm still watching you!' at the time.

Speaking about it, Leto said: “What [Jennifer] didn't know was that Ellen [DeGeneres] was on the side…making, pantomiming [motions like], 'Don't fall, don't fall!', and my mom and brother are all cracking up.

“I guess we don't have manners. You can take them out of Louisiana, but you can't take the Louisiana out of them, right?”

Lawrence herself has said that she worries people will start to think it's all a ploy.

“I'm afraid that like - I got so scared and I hope nobody took a picture, because I'm afraid it's going start looking like a gimmick,” she said.

She'd better invest in some flat shoes, then...
