Hillary Clinton supporters were desperate to get the vote out.

So that explains why famed director Darren Aronofsky was wandering around the campus of Duke University offering students the chance to Facetime his movie star girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence in return for heading to the polls on Tuesday.

The 47-year-old was snapped on Instagram offering his phone while the Hunger Games star was on the line as he visited the educational establishment, which is located in the key swing state of North Carolina.

Please vote: Hillary Clinton supporter Darren Aronofsky offered Duke University students the chance to Facetime Jennifer Lawrence in return for heading to the polls on Tuesday

Excited Ethan Udell, who posted the picture, was overjoyed to have gotten the chance to chat with the 26-year-old Oscar-winning actress.

He said: 'I just casually FaceTimed with Jennfer Lawrence. Darren Aronofsky is the man.'

However it seems the filmmaker, who was wearing a flat cap, and puffer jacket, rubbed some up the wrong way with his shameless antics.

One student called Maria Espinsoa said: 'When Jennifer Lawrence’s boyfriend is on campus bribing students to go vote in exchange for a FaceTime with her.'

'The man': Ethan Udell seemed delighted he got the chance to talk to the star

Shameless: But Maria Espinosa mocked the fact he was on campus 'bribing' students

Happy to help: Jennifer was thrilled to come to her much older boyfriend's aid

Things certainly appear to be heating up between Jennifer and her much older new man.

She enjoyed a romantic date with the Black Swan director in New York last week and could not keep her hands off her beau.

The couple were wrapped up in scarves as they strolled holding hands, stopping every now and again to steal a kiss.

They reportedly grew close when they worked on an untitled movie together this summer.

The drama, directed by Aronofsky, is about uninvited guests that disrupt the lives of a couple. The film also stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Javier Bardem.
