“The Hunger Games” made the then 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence a star. Fame, however, led to her “loss of control”.
Jennifer Lawrence’s (32) meteoric rise was not easy for her to process. “I think I’ve lost control,” the actress admitted, speaking to Francine Stock for the London Film Festival’s Screen Talk series. as “Variety” reports. “Between ‘The Hunger Games’ and my Oscar win, I became something of a commodity, so I felt like every decision was a group decision. Looking back now, I can’t remember the years that followed, it was just a loss of control,” the 32-year-old opened up.
However, Lawrence now feels that she has regained her own identity. “It feels personal for the first time in a long time,” she explained.
