Jennifer Lawrence has opened up on her secret double life online that led her on an ‘intense’ mission to share information about the Royal Family – yes, you read that correctly.
The Hollywood star, 35, is set to appear in thriller comedy Die My Love alongside Robert Pattinson and Sissy Spacek.
During an interview ahead of its world premiere, the Hunger Games icon let fans into a strange element of her life she had not shared before.
Jennifer said that she has a ‘secret life’ on TikTok where she occasionally gets into fights in the comments section, with users oblivious to the fact that it is her they are sparring with.
‘I have a secret. I have, like, a secret life on TikTok… I get into fights on TikTok. I get in fights in the comment section,’ she told Fandango.
During these heated exchanges, she said that she ‘began spouting facts about the British Royal Family that some people just couldn’t agree with’, with some accusing her of ‘trashing’ the Royals.

‘It started off with real housewives kind of, like, fights, back and forth, Kardashians, that kind of thing. And then it got really intense when I started commenting on the Royal Family,’ Jennifer continued.
‘But a lot of people just did not know that the Mountbattens, Queen Elizabeth II, is married to her first cousin. It just is. That’s just a fact. They are cousins.
‘And people were thinking that I was, like, trashing them, and I’m like, “I’m not! This is just a fact.” And it was also that in the 40s, it would have been normal.’
While it’s not true that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were first cousins, they were related as third cousins through their shared great-grandparents, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
They were also second cousins once removed through great-great-grandparents King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel.
‘Anyway, that kind of started this whole thing. I guess I kind of rage-bait on TikTok. I’m like Kendra from The Catfish Mom,’ she added.
It comes after it was revealed she turned down a date with none other than Prince Harry.
A source told Life & Style magazine in 2015: ‘[Harry] made his aide invite her out to dinner and coupled it with an invite for her to see Kensington Palace.’
However, they added that she politely declined his offer.
Directed by Lynne Ramsey, Die My Love tells the story of Grace (Lawrence), a young mother and writer who is slowly slipping into madness.
It currently holds a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus reading: ‘A frenzied depiction of a common but oft-ignored experience, Die My Love might be too stylistically mannered to fully connect but gifts Jennifer Lawrence with one of her most vivid roles yet.’
Die My Love is released in UK cinemas today.
