"That's me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom," the actress said. "But I am obviously working."

"I'm not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy like three months while I'm filming, but even in that sense, it's calm because there is nothing else to do," Lawrence said. "I just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote – it is hectic."

Bateman said he "loves not doing anything," to which Lawrence replied with a simple, "Yeah."
