Connor Wood Missed His Shot With J.Law—So He Made a Smoothie About It
Dancing With the Stars contestant turns a chance NYC encounter into a Smoothie King collab.
Connor Wood had a moment with Jennifer Lawrence on 8th Avenue and, by his own admission, fumbled the bag. Instead of letting that L sit, he's leaning into it with a Smoothie King partnership that plays on the whole thing.
The DWTS contestant and the smoothie chain cooked up "Connor's Paid Me No Mind Smoothie"—a cheeky callback to Lawrence's whole vibe and what went down between them. It's the kind of self-aware flex that actually works: you didn't get the moment, so you monetize the miss.
This is vintage celebrity crossover play. Take a real (or semi-real) encounter, throw it on a menu, and suddenly everyone's talking about it. Wood gets the W, Smoothie King gets the buzz, and J.Law gets another meme moment whether she knows it or not.
The move shows some hustle—turning an awkward encounter into a business play. Whether it lands beyond the initial curiosity is another story, but you've got to respect the creativity.
