Jack Nicholson has sent Jennifer Lawrence a bunch of flowers after their now-famous Oscars run-in.

The 76-year-old actor shocked the American Hustle star earlier this year at the Academy Awards when he interrupted her interview to tell her she looks like an old girlfriend of his, but he has since sweetened her up by sending her a bouquet and a bottle of champagne.

"He [Jack] sent me some flowers and a bottle of Cristal and a note that said 'Missing you already'. Not to brag," Lawrence told ABC news.

"I should have probably kept that a secret so it could just be between me and Jack."

During the 23-year-old's interview with Good Morning America after she scooped the Best Actress award in February, Nicholson interrupted and told her "You look like an old girlfriend of mine", to which she jokingly responded: "Oh really, do I look like a new girlfriend?"

However, Lawrence was left feeling red-faced when The Shining actor replied: "I thought about it" before adding "I'll be waiting".

Nicholson is not the starlet's only famous fan - she is fast collecting a raft of celebrity admirers.

Julia Roberts most recently said Lawrence is "too cool" to be America's Sweetheart while her Silver Linings co-star Bradley Cooper told CNN the Hunger Games actress is "incredible".

"I've been so lucky to do two movies with her back-to-back...She's the best. I feel like I got in on the ground floor. I'll be lucky if I work with her again," Cooper gushed.
