Roman Kemp has said he was kicked out of an interview with Jennifer Lawrence and banned from ever interviewing her again after a prank involving a fake tattoo went wrong. The 32-year-old presenter admitted he thought it would be funny to wear a large transferrable tattoo of the Oscar winner's face on his chest before the interview, but the actress did not find it amusing.
In an Instagram post, Kemp shared a throwback photo of himself sporting the black-and-white tattoo above his heart. He wrote: "Found this old picture of when I interviewed Jennifer Lawrence and for fun pretended to be a mega fan complete with a tattoo... She did NOT find it funny. I was escorted out by security and told I could never interview her again."
Kemp also recalled the incident in a 2017 interview with The Standard. He said: "I went to a film junket of one of Jennifer Lawrence's films... I got a huge transferrable tattoo of Jennifer Lawrence's face on my chest that looked really good, but she just didn't get it. She just looked at it like, 'Oh my God, where's my security? Please get this kid out the room.'"
In a subsequent Instagram story, the One Show presenter said he has not spoken to the Die My Love actress since. He added: "Tbf still haven't had the chance to redeem myself or explain the situation to her... (sic)"
