VIDEO INTERVIEW: JENNIFER LAWRENCE TALKS ABOUT BEING A ’70s JERSEY GIRL IN “AMERICAN HUSTLE”

Jennifer Lawrence dishes on what it was like to film American Hustle, her crazy character and being back in David O. Russell’s camp.

Jennifer Lawrence is literally the girl on fire! In this interview, Lawrence talks about working on set with her cast mates, Christian Bale, who plays her con artist husband, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and with director , David O. Russell, who led her to her Oscar win last year for Silver Linings Playbook.

American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper).  DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that’s as dangerous as it is enchanting.  Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down.
