There have been plenty of tabloid rumours about a potential romance and Jennifer Lawrence has finally set the record straight about her and co-star Liam Hemsworth.

During an appearance on American talk show Watch What Happens Live, Lawrence, 25, admitted to host Andy Cohen that she and Hemsworth, 25, had shared a kiss off-screen.

“Liam and I grew up together. Liam’s real hot. What would you have done? Yeah, yeah,” Lawrence said of her Hunger Games love interest, who plays Gale in the popular films.

“I mean, I pick Gale over Peeta any day,” Cohen replied.

“I did, at one point!” Lawrence said, getting a high-five.

Cohen also grilled the Oscar winner about other possible love interests, including Justin Bieber, who recently admitted he finds Lawrence “so sexy”.

“I’m going to say a hard no,” Lawrence said when asked if she’d consider a possible Bieber hook-up.

The actress also dished that her regular co-star Bradley Cooper is a “fantastic” kisser and admitted to smoking marijuana before attending the Oscars – although she wouldn’t reveal which year.
