Jennifer Lawrence Calls Out ‘DWTS’ Contestant Connor Wood For Ignoring Her in Public

Jennifer Lawrence is setting the record straight.

The actress recently learned that Dancing with the Stars season 35 contestant Connor Wood considers her his celebrity crush. While speaking to BuzzFeed for a video posted on Tuesday, October 20, Wood, also known online as Fibula, admitted he wants a “Paige DeSorbo moment.”

DeSorbo, a former reality star, recently confessed that she hopes Lawrence, 36, will one day tell her she’s funny. That same day, Lawrence fulfilled DeSorbo’s wish.

“I just want just a little acknowledgement from Jennifer Lawrence that I’m funny, and then that’s all I need,” Wood, 31, told BuzzFeed. “Like, no offense Paige, I wanted that first, though.”

He then voiced a plea to Lawrence through the outlet: “Jennifer, I, like, really need something good to happen to me. Like, fast!”

Wood’s plea made the rounds on Instagram, where fans tagged Lawrence’s brand-new Instagram account handle in hopes she’d respond.

And suddenly, she did. But perhaps not in the way Wood expected.

“I saw you on 8th avenue drinking a smoothie and you paid me no mind,” the Die My Love star wrote in a social media comment.

Wood quickly shared a screenshot of Lawrence’s comment on his Instagram Story, writing, “Going to bed.”

He hilariously added an affirmation sound to his post, featuring a woman saying, “I am capable of overcoming my challenges and creating a better life for myself. I have the power to take control of my life and make positive changes. I am releasing the past and embracing the present moment with grace and love.”

Meanwhile, Wood’s professional dance partner, Rylee Arnold, captured his reaction to Lawrence’s comment in real-time. In a video she posted on TikTok, Arnold hands Wood her phone.

“Yeah, that’s where I get my smoothies,” he said after reading Lawrence’s comment. “Oh my gosh. I’m just always staring off, you know? Oh my god!”

“Jennifer Lawrence, he loves you. Please, give him a redo,” Arnold, 21, insisted.

Wood kept repeating Lawrence’s comment over and over, sighing in disbelief that he missed the opportunity to speak to his crush.
