Jennifer Lawrence seemingly has it all: a successful career, talent, beauty and an Oscar.

But one thing she doesn't have is a successful selfie with the hunky Chris Pratt.

The 37-year-old actor has been having a little fun at the expense of the 26-year-old actress on his Instagram.

As the two have been busy promoting their upcoming flick Passengers, he has been posting photos with the Silver Linings Playbook star but cropping her out.

In the most recent edition shared on Thursday, the husband of Anna Faris posed next to Jennifer and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver but Chris had cut off half of his co-star's face in the picture.

Me, #JenniferLawrence and @jamieoliver backstage at @thegrahamnortonshow promoting a film called #Passengers coming soon to a theatre near you. Can't believe I got to meet the naked chef!!! He was wearing clothes, but still!!!

A post shared by chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) on Dec 1, 2016 at 12:10pm PST

He even joked around about Jaime's nickname as he wrote: 'Me, #JenniferLawrence and @jamieoliver backstage at @thegrahamnortonshow promoting a film called #Passengers coming soon to a theatre near you.

'Can't believe I got to meet the naked chef!!! He was wearing clothes, but still!!!'

It all began on Tuesday as the handsome actor took a picture while a smiling Jennifer posed next to him.

However when he put it on social media, only a part of the talented actresses head could be seen.

A post shared by chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) on Nov 29, 2016 at 7:06am PST

Chris captioned the photo: 'Finally got that selfie with Jen y'all wanted. #passengersmovie.'

The very next day the Guardians Of The Galaxy star was back at it again as he took a selfie beside Jennifer who had her back to the camera.

The American Hustle actress was seemingly getting her make-up done while the funnyman snuck next to her for the snapshot which he captioned: 'Just hanging with my bestie Jen. #passengersmovie.'

Why Chris Pratt is taking a break from acting

19 Sep 11:30 PM

Perhaps the most hilarious and blatant of all came later that day when Pratt posted a group photo with Jennifer and Spanish YouTube personality Ruben Doblas Gunderson AKA El Rubius.

In the snap Pratt has his arm around El Rubius and his co-star but more than half of Jennifer's body and face is cropped out. He wrote: 'Here Jen and I pose with @elrubiuswtf.'

Then early Thursday, during one of the breaks of their many press junket interviews Chris took another selfie while an unaware Jennifer could be seen in the background drinking from a glass.

He posted the hilarious message: 'Another day down with me and my best buddy Jen. #London #passengersmovie.'

Their upcoming flick is centered around their characters as they play two passengers awakened 90 years too early aboard a spacecraft containing thousands of people in sleep chambers who are travelling to a distant planet.

It also stars Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia, Laurence Fishburne, Jamie Soricelli and Aurora Perrineau.

It is directed by Moren Tyldum who is best known for his work in 2014 Benedict Cumberbatch flick The Imitation Game.

Passengers hits cinemas on December 21.
