  • She recalled Elizabeth Banks becoming irritated on set, adding that her co-star may not have known she was under the effects of the sleep aid.
  • Lawrence also described taking an Adderall instead of a sleeping pill while filming Red Sparrow, losing a night of sleep and struggling through the next day.
