The movie’s soundtrack was curated by Lorde, and includes artists such as Charli XCX and Chvrches.

The track’s success will probably come as a surprise to Jennifer, who was terrified about recording the track.

The film’s director Francis Lawrence recently told Radio Times: “She was horrified to sing. She cried a little bit in the morning before [the scene]... She’d probably tell you it was her least favourite day [on set].

“She’ll probably never really understand it because she’s so sensitive about the singing, but she did it and she did it all day... and she hated me for making her do it all day... but she did and it’s great.”

Earlier this month, Jen attended the film’s premiere in London, where she was joined by Lorde and the rest of the movie’s cast.

Why it made the list: While most stars spend their time on the red carpet focussing on which pose to strike for the hoards of photographers, Jennifer Lawrence likes to add a little more fun to proceedings. The actress kicked off her photobombing career at the 2013 Met Gala when she pulled a silly face behind Sarah Jessica Parker, but her most famous photobomb stunt came at this year's Golden Globes when she crept up on her pal Taylor Swift during an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

Why it made the list: Over a year later, we're still struggling to make up our minds whether Jack Nicholson was being kind or a little bit creepy when he crept up behind Jennifer Lawrence mid-interview at the 2013 Oscars and told her she looked like an old girlfriend of his. Whichever it was, Jennifer dealt with the situation in her typical witty fashion, quipping “Do I look like a new girlfriend?”, before completely freaking out and joking "I need a rear-view mirror!"
