The 33-year-old actor revealed this in an interview to Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, reported People magazine.
"I come home from trying to pretend to know about astronomy and physics all day and turn on The Real Housewives," he said, after explaining to the 'Hunger Games' star how difficult it was to transform into Stephen Hawking for his Golden Globe-winning role in 'The Theory of Everything'.
Lawrence, 24, who is a self-confessed fan of the show, could not contain her excitement upon hearing his answer.
"Oh my god... I feel like I'm going to cry," she exclaimed.
