America's best friend Jennifer Lawrence would probably have a very fun night shotgunning beers with the students of Duke. But instead, she encouraged her to vote via FaceTime.

The whole thing was facilitated by her new boyfriend, director Darren Aronofsky, who recently worked with Lawrence on the forthcoming film Mother.

Aronofsky came to the campus in North Carolina to make sure students in the swing state were voting. Having a little backup definitely helped.

Last year, Lawrence told Vogue, "My view on the election is pretty cut-and-dried: If Donald Trump is president of the United States, it will be the end of the world."

More recently, the Clinton campaign praised Lawrence's essay in Lenny Letter calling for equal pay.
