Jennifer Lawrence Calls Early Interview Persona 'Annoying' in New Profile, Citing Backlash and Press Pullback

A New Yorker profile presents her hyper early persona as a defense mechanism that now drives her reluctance to do publicity.

Overview

  • Lawrence tells The New Yorker her old interviews were "so hyper" and "so embarrassing," saying the behavior was genuine yet a defense mechanism.
  • She says public rejection targeted her personality rather than her work or politics and describes the period as feeling "uninhabitable."
  • She praises Ariana Grande’s 2016 Saturday Night Live impression of her as "spot-on," acknowledging why constant exposure became grating.
  • Recalling the 2010s, she describes paparazzi tailing her in Los Angeles and says interviews make her feel she "loses so much control" over her craft.
  • She is promoting Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, co-starring Robert Pattinson, with a U.S. theatrical release set for Nov. 7 and production involvement from Martin Scorsese.
