Jennifer Lawrence flips off paparazzi while on date with Nicholas Hoult

LONDON, April 25 (UPI) -- Jennifer Lawrence lost her cool as she was being followed by paparazzi in London Thursday night.

The Hunger Games star was in a cab with on-and-off beau Nicolas Hoult when photographers captured her giving them the finger from the car's back window. E! News reports, Hoult tried to get Lawrence to lower her hand, but she kept it up until photographers were no longer behind her.

Earlier that day the duo was allegedly seen having lunch together at Italian restaurant Pesantissimo. Eyewitnesses claim the couple was joking around during their meal and that Lawrence was making funny faces at her X-Men costar while he was on the phone.

Lawrence and Hoult dated for two years after meeting on the set of X-Men: First Class in 2010. The couple, who split in January 2013, reportedly got back together while filming X-Men: Days of Future Past in spring 2013.
