Jennifer Lawrence is one serious Honey Boo Boo fan. So much so, that her obsession with the TLC reality star actually led to a car accident!

Let us explain.

Actually, the actress did just that while chatting with Jay Leno on Monday's Tonight Show.

Lawrence told Leno that while she was driving in Georgia recently, she came across a breast cancer parade that included people wearing sashes with the word "boobs" on them.

"I thought it was saying 'Boo Boo,'" and so I was like, 'Whoa, does that mean there's Honey Boo Boo?'" the Silver Linings Playbook star recalled. "So I started craning my neck and I saw a little girl, and I was like, 'That's Honey Boo Boo!'"

Unfortunately, in all the excitement, Lawrence ended up rear-ending the car in front of her and had to explain to the other driver what happened.

"I'm sorry that I hit your family," she said. "I thought I saw Honey Boo Boo."

Well, at least she was honest about it!
