Even though Jennifer Lawrence fell on her way up to accept her best actress Oscar for “Silver Linings Playbook,” perhaps the most embarrassing moment for the 22-year-old came after the show.

While ABC’s George Stephanopoulous was interviewing Lawrence in a post-show wrap-up, three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson, 75, came up behind her and said, “You did such a beautiful job,” before adding “I would love to interview you.”

Nicholson, who had earlier co-presented the best picture award with Michelle Obama, added to the flirting when he told Lawrence, “You look like an old girlfriend” to which the actress gamely quipped “Oh really, do I look like a new girlfriend?”

Nicholson didn’t miss a beat. “I’ve thought about it," he said.

With a smile, the surprised actress exclaimed “Oh my God!” and buried her head in her hands. 

She really shouldn't have been surprised. On a night where she pulled in the best actress award, flipped off the press room, and nearly fell on her face, getting hit on by someone old enough to be her grandfather was just par for the course.
