Jennifer Lawrence set record straight as she admits she doesn't wash her hands after using the toilet

The 25 year-old actress was forced to set the record straight after a joke backfired on her... It turns out Jennifer Lawrence DOES wash her hands after using the toilet - and there's even an amusing video to prove it. During a recent interview on MTV with Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth , the trio were asked about their most disgusting habits, she said that hers was not washing her hands after using the toilet - a wisecrack she obviously didn't expect would spread like wildfire around the web.

It eventually left the blonde beauty with no choice but to poke fun at the rumours by sharing a funny video with her fans on Facebook .

The short clip begins with a robe-wearing Jen looking puzzled as she runs the water in a bidet.

She then walks away to the sink, telling a friend: "What a weird toilet."

But as her buddy informs her it's not what she thinks it is, Jen responds: "It's not a toilet? Oh. Well then I don't have to wash my hands."

 

While it was all fun and games in the footage, a fed-up Jen took a more serious approach to shutting down the rumours in the status.

She wrote: 

"I hate talking to the Internet but I can't get asked another question about my hygiene on this press tour.
"I told MTV I didn't wash my hands after going to the bathroom because I was trying to gross out Josh and Liam and I ended up grossing out the world.

"Of course I wash my hands after going to the bathroom! (I can't believe I've put myself in a situation where I even have to say that.)
"Anyway with all the rumors I've ever heard about myself this is the one I really had to put to rest."
