  1. The actress photo-bombed Sarah Jessica Parker at The Met Gala this year, after ruffling her feathery head plume on the red carpet. Good job SJP had a sense of humour!
  1. Jen fell over in front of millions on winning her Oscar and still managed to joke about the incident: ‘'This is nuts. You guys are only standing up because I fell and you feel bad. That was embarrassing.'
Jen didn't let the fall phase her as she made her Oscar acceptance speech

  1. She had the wittiest reply EVER to Jack Nicholson’s attempt to flirt: “You look like an old girlfriend of mine”. She said: “Oh really, do I look like a new girlfriend?”
  1. Jennifer acted like a total fan girl when she met Jeff Bridges at a ComicCon event and ended up interviewing him briefly, microphone in hand.
  1. She’s worked hard for success. Her first TV appearance was as a school mascot in an episode of a crime drama. She had to spend the show dressed up in a cougar costume, running up and down a basketball court.
  1. She’s dating Nicholas Hoult, who starred as Marcus in one of our favourite films ever, About A Boy.

  1. Jen loves a Maccy Ds. She interrupted an interview with MTV with: “I can see the McDonalds right there. Wait, hold on, I didn't say fries! I'm seeing you talk and all I'm seeing is me being pissed I didn't get fries. And you have to remind them about ketchup because they never include ketchup, you have to ask for it. Cheapskates."
  1. She swears. Confirming that she likes Dance Moms to Kristen Chenoweth, she said: “Do bears s—t in the woods?!”
  1. She’s humble. Talking about The Hunger Games she said: “Don’t go see the movies, I’m a troll. I think the movie was great, but their biggest mistake was me.”
  1. Jen had a minor car accident because she thought she saw Honey Boo Boo. It makes our near road misses a bit more acceptable.
