Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence had considered bidding adieu to acting for good when she first rose to fame because she preferred to be “invisible” in life.

The 20-year-old came into the spotlight with her part in the movie Winter’s Bone, which won her an Academy Award nomination, and has since gone on to land roles in X-Men: First Class and The Hunger Games opposite Liam Hemsworth, reported Daily Star.

But Lawrence has struggled to adjust to the sudden interest in her personal life and had considered sticking to smaller films or a career behind the camera to avoid attention.

“People started talking to me differently and I couldn’t stand that. I’d go to parties where I used to be invisible and off the record, now everybody’s watching and listening. There was a weird element and I wondered whether I wanted to be a director or act in independent films,” she said.

Lenny Kravitz Caught Jennifer Lawrence Playing With His Grammy Award

Jennifer Lawrence was left red-faced during a visit to Lenny Kravitz’s house when the singer caught her holding one of his Grammy awards and pretending to make an acceptance speech.

The actress became friends with the rocker’s daughter Zoe during the making of superhero movie X-Men: First Class and was invited to visit the Fly Away hitmaker’s home.

Lawrence was left alone on one visit to see her pal and couldn’t resist inspecting Kravitz’s trophy collection, and she was left embarrassed when the singer walked in on her midway through her monologue.

She tells Britain’s Marie Claire magazine, “I was round Lenny Kravitz’s house. Anyway, I was all by myself in his home and I looked around and I saw his collection of Grammys. I just couldn’t resist, so I went and grabbed one and started giving an imaginary acceptance speech.

“Next thing, I just hear this deep voice from behind me go, ‘So, how does it feel, Jen?’ I turned around and there’s Lenny with his huge bodyguard friend. I was gonna come up with something about polishing it. But, hey, I’m fooling no one.”

MTV News’ own Josh Horowitz is an old pro at interviewing celebs… or is he?! Not according to Jennifer Lawrence, who crashed the private office of our go-to on-camera personality and made him into her own personal object of torture makeover project. Just in time for the MTV Movie Awards, of course.

“Walk with me,” Jennifer commands, before blasting Josh in the face with bronzer (“Television audiences only trust people with natural phosphorescent orangey bronze skin. Trust me!”) and then destroying his spectacles with a single stomp.

“I can’t see without them!” Josh protests, but Jennifer’s not having it.

“Mario Lopez is legally blind and that’s never stopped him!” she shouts. “Glasses OFF!”

And it doesn’t end there. Whisking our slightly sandblasted-looking reporter into a pair of studio chairs, Jennifer demands that he interview her… no, wait! Not that way!

“Entertainment reporters ask hard-hitting questions. Who are you dating! What are you wearing! GO!” she demands. (But only so that she can follow by protesting: “I don’t want to talk about my personal life!”)

We’re not sure whether this slap-dash info session improved Josh’s celeb-questioning game (or, um, his skin tone), but hey, whatever Jennifer Lawrence wants, Jennifer Lawrence gets.

‘Everybody’s treating me differently and talking to me differently and I know that they’re lying and that they’re sucking up to me’

Listen to an actor who made his name in indie movies — many of them critical successes but box-office failures — and went on to play in hundred-million-dollar blockbusters: “I know there are 18,000 trucks and 800 for lunch and the whole thing, but still, within the context of the process, it still feels very intimate… It still feels the same as a film with a 30-person crew. You’re still doing the work.”

Now here’s a young actress in small movies — many of them critical successes but modest hits — who’s about to become the new It Girl of Hollywood: “It’s all filmmaking. The behind-the-scenes is always different: You have a bigger trailer, there’s better food, things like that. I still do the movies for the same reasons. I still love the script, I love the director, I love the character and the other actors involved. So all of the reasons why I was there, they were all the same.” Continue reading Jennifer strains at the chains of fame

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that her parents didn’t believe that she was going to make it as an actress.

The X-Men: First Class star said that they were so dubious about her career choice that they made her finish her education before allowing her to pursue her dream.

She told the Scotsman newspaper, “Of course they were sceptical as anyone would be if their 14-year-old said, I think I’m going to move to New York and be an actress.”

“They made sure that I got my education because they were basically preparing for me to fail. They were waiting for me to fail so that we could go home and get back to normal. And now I’m here. Now they think it’s great, they’re having a blast.”

The 20-year-old plays mutant shapeshifter Mystique in the movie but said that she couldn’t do any of her own stunts because of her tight-fitting costume.

“I did not do one stunt. The X-suit that we wear, I couldn’t lift my arms above my shoulders. I couldn’t bend my knees and I was wearing platform shoes. I was there to save the world but I couldn’t bend my knees,” she joked.
