Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt trade hilariously mean insults

THE Passengers co-stars found it remarkably easy to dig deep and trade their cruellest insults with each other — but who came out on top?

Film Trailer: Passengers

JENNIFER Lawrence and Chris Pratt like each other ... we think.

The stars of upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Passengers are on the publicity trail for the new film, and using it as opportunity to prank each other at the drop of a hat.

In an interview for BBC Radio 1, the pair were given an unusual task — to sit opposite each other and hurl the most hurtful, personal insults they could come up with. The first person to break down in a fit of laughter (or tears) would be deemed the loser.

Chris Pratt, Adele hater.

‘I can’t mention my pubes’: Lawrence.

The challenge seemed to come remarkably easily to both stars — although Pratt pulled out in front from the very start, opening with this sick burn referencing Lawrence’s 2015 Oscar-nominated Joy Mangano biopic:

“ ... Why did they call it Joy?”

From there, the pair traded an escalating series of brutal barbs, with Pratt’s poker face proving particularly hard to beat.

“It’s such a shame ... to meet somebody ... you thought you’d like,” he told his co-star at one point.

“I recently told you that you act like Adele sings. I hate Adele,” came another insult.

In the end, Pratt won, offering up a filthy quip about his experience finishing their Passengers sex scene that doesn’t bear repeating (and earns the clip below a strong language warning).
