"Oh my God, don't make me cry," Lopez told her while adding what a fan she was of Larson's work over the years.

"Your work ethic is so important," The Glass Castle actor said to the "On The Floor" singer about her impact on her own career. "Thank you. I've been wanting to say that to you for a long time so I'm really — I didn't think it was going to be right now. OK. I'm gonna have to go do a shot of tequila or something."
