Jennifer Lawrence Calls Her Early Press Persona ‘Annoying,’ Says Backlash Felt Like Personal Rejection

Her remarks coincide with promotion for Die My Love, which opens Nov. 7.

Overview

  • In a new New Yorker profile, Lawrence says her off-the-cuff, self-deprecating interview style was genuine but also a “defense mechanism.”
  • She says she felt “rejected not for my movies, not for my politics, but for me, for my personality,” describing the online blowback as “uninhabitable.”
  • Lawrence praises Ariana Grande’s Saturday Night Live impression of her as “spot-on.”
  • She recalls being “chased” by paparazzi and says heavy press schedules left her sleepless and feeling she lost control over her craft, as she previously told Viola Davis.
  • Lawrence returns to theaters Nov. 7 in Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, co-starring Robert Pattinson and produced by Martin Scorsese.
