Larry David has responded to Jennifer Lawrence’s attentions, telling David Remnick at The New Yorker Festival on Saturday that he was “flattered” by the 24-year-old’s crush on him.
“It’s a shame that I’m about 40 years older than she is,” he said.
Lawrence told Vanity Fair this month that she was “in love” with the 67-year-old Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Seinfeld co-creator.
“I have been for a really long time,” she said. “I worship Woody Allen, but I don’t feel it below the belt the way I do for Larry David.”
“Maybe she’s referring to her knees,” David joked. “I don’t think I could do it. On one hand it’s very flattering and on another hand, it’s kind of a shame in terms of timing.”
“I’d have fun watching the reality show of it though,” he added.
Lawrence is rumored to be dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
