Sadly, there’s been another addition to our list ofstars we’ve lost in 2024.
Renownedactor Donald Sutherland diedon June 20 at the age of 88.
He was the primary antagonist in the films while Jennifer Lawrence played protagonist Katniss Everdeen.
While the two were enemies on-screen, off-screen they had a very sweet friendship.
In 2014, Sutherland showed just how impressed he was with Lawrence’s acting chops.
When I see her, I babble.
When I meet her coming out of an elevator, I’m blub,blub."
But that awkwardness seems like it came from just how much admiration Sutherland had for his young co-star.
In the same interview, he also referred to Lawrence as someone who “channels epiphanies.
She’s brilliant, she’s brilliant.
She’s unlike other performers.”
The respect Sutherland had for Lawrence’s work was definitely not a one-way street.
Not only was she there, she was selected to give a speech in his honor.
I don’t know why he took me under his wing the way he did," viaYouTube.
Beyond her love for his work, Lawrence talked about their off-screen interactions.
