NEWSJennifer Lawrence Injured By Glass On Set Of 'Don’t Look Up' After Explosion Goes Wrong
Ouch! Jennifer Lawrence was reportedly injured while filming Don’t Look Up when glass exploded and hit the 30-year-old in the face.
"An explosion was set up for a stunt in which glass shatters," an insider explained. "It was a stunt in which the glass was supposed to shatter — but it injured her."
Production was said to be halted on Friday, February 5, following the incident.
Lawrence was hurt when glass almost hit her eye during a scene with Timothée Chalamet.
However, there's no need to worry about the actress, as sources say that she is doing fine but people on set were shaken up. The pair were filming a scene where a restaurant window was meant to explode as a trash can is thrown through it but did not go as planned.
In pictures obtained by the Daily Mail, Chalamet and others on set were seen rushing to Lawrence’s side, as she crouched on the ground and covered her face after the eruption.

Representatives for Lawrence, McKay or Netflix have not publicly commented on the accident.
