Jennifer Lawrence did one of her first radio interviews with me in 2009 for the release of the film The Burning Plain. She returned the next year for a chat about Winter’s Bone, which would earn Jen her first Academy Award nomination.

The first time we met, I walked into the WHAS radio studio and Jennifer said “Dude, I’m starstruck. I’ve seen you on TV my whole life!”

She refers to me as her “first celebrity” friend. Last week on WDJX radio, she popped into an interview with singers Linkin Bridge as they prepared to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live, hosted by Jennifer Lawrence.

Thanks for the shoutout, Jen. It gave me a hearty laugh. You rock!
