Jennifer Lawrence's unfiltered public image has been embraced, criticized, and very widely covered over her years in the spotlight. But in a new interview with Oprah Winfrey for The Hollywood Reporter, J.Law reflected on how this huge celebrity and mega success has made her afraid of the public turning against her.
After winning a Best Actress Oscar and getting four nominations by age 27, Lawrence felt "fear. You're immediately hit with fear. Or at least I was," she said.
"I had been climbing and working and fighting, and I remember last year just getting hit with fear. All of a sudden it was, 'They're going to get sick of me.' That's when all my insecurity came. I've been probably more insecure after last year, and I don't know if that's just a feeling of: I've got more to lose, I have more people to disappoint. I don't know how to explain it."
