The 25-year-old added, “I created the romance in my headbecause I’m delusional.”
When the funnyman didn’t ask her out, Jennifer decided totake matters into her own hands, but thankfully someone shed light on the believed "romance," quickly derailing her plan. The star explained, “Ihad this whole plan. I was going to ask you out, and I started — thank God — Italked to the wardrobe lady about it. I was like, ‘I think I’m going to askSeth Meyers out. I’m going to give him my number.’ And she was like, ‘Honey,he’s engaged.’”
Now that enough time had passed,Jennifer felt comfortable admitting her crush to him. And as Seth explained,it was “safe” to tell him since everything worked out. “I married that lady,”he said.

Seth toasted to “how everything worked out,” to which Jennifer replied,“Cheers to my humiliation.” The Hunger Games actressjokingly added, “I’m happier without you.” Seth quipped, “My wife would contendyou probably are.”
While on the NBC show, the actress also revealedthat Seth wasn’t her only celebrity crush. Jennifer admitted she once gave her number to comedian Larry David, though he never called. “But [Larry] also might have been married. Apparently I don’t ask about these things. I’m so not that girl!” she said. “Iwould never go after another woman's man. I always forget about step one, findout if he already has a woman. I get so carried away and already go into thedelusion of ‘Oh, my god, we’re in love!’”
Jennifer joked, “Oh, my god, I’m like a predator.”
