What Do Eddie Redmayne And Jennifer Lawrence Have In Common? Four Things The ‘Hunger Games’ Actress And ‘Theory Of Everything’ Actor Bonded Over In New Interview

Jennifer Lawrence and Eddie Redmayne may seem like a funny pair to put together but turns out the "Hunger Games" actress and "Theory of Everything" actor have more in common than one would think! Here are four things that Jennifer and Eddie bonded over in a new interview for Interview magazine.

1. They both love reality TV.

"I come home from trying to pretend to know about astronomy and physics all day and turn on 'The Real Housewives,'" Eddie Redmayne admitted to Jennifer Lawrence. "I've been a closet lover of faux-reality TV since 'The Hills'. It's bad."

"I feel like I'm going to cry," she responded. "We're making a breakthrough. I went to Pump the other night to meet ['Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star] Lisa Vanderpump. I had her sign a bottle of vodka..."

"I'm a bit vintage," Eddie continued. "I go back to 'The Hills.' Occasionally Audrina [Patridge] or Whitney [Port] will be on a website that I shouldn't be looking at, and I'm like, 'You know, I just want to check that they're doing all right, because it's my youth...' And the depressing thing is that it's not my youth. I was too old to be watching those programmes when I was watching them."

"MTV sometimes plays them for, like, three hours,' Jennifer added. 'And that will just turn into my morning. Like, I'll cancel shit."

2. Neither of them have a hobby.

Redmayne: Are you finally having a moment off?

Lawrence: I am, and I'm miserable. I was so excited to get time off, and now I don't know what to do with myself. What do you do when you have time off?

Redmayne: Someone asked me today what I've been doing, and I felt like I had to really make up something to justify my . . .

Lawrence: Yeah. I'm like, "I paint - I'm a painter!" [laughs]

Redmayne: What do I do? I don't know. I'm really sh*t at the piano. I play the piano.

Lawrence: I'm so happy you don't have an answer.

Redmayne: And then I occasionally try to pretend to paint, again, badly. But this is the great luxury of not working: the moment you read a book that has nothing to do with work, you know you're really relaxed. And I have a sh*t attention span. I can't concentrate for more than five minutes.

Lawrence: Me too. I read two pages and I'm like, "Maybe I'll just watch TV until the commercial break, and then I'll finish the chapter."

3. Both feel misunderstood.

Redmayne: And you know how, quite often, people don't understand how actors work and so they treat us with kiddie gloves?

Lawrence: Yeah, like a land mine.

4. They've had unforgettably bad experiences with food and alcohol before.

Redmayne : I give it like a year and a half after getting food poisoning from something, and then I start gorging on it again.

Lawrence: That's what I think about tequila.

Redmayne: I hate tequila!

Lawrence: I'm always like, "Nope, I can never drink tequila again," but . . .

Redmayne: Tequila is my salmon. I had a brutal experience with it at university. [laughs]

Lawrence: [After being disconnected and coming back on] I'm sorry. I think my publicist pulled the plug when I started talking about tequila. [both laugh]
