Jennifer Lawrence: 'Once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude'

Oscar-winning actress admitted she often turns down fans who ask for selfies

Jennifer Lawrence has admitted she can be a "huge asshole" to fans when approached by fans in public spaces.

The Oscar-winning actress, who won over fans largely thanks to her down-to-earth nature, claimed she she can be "incredibly rude" when she meets them in real life.

"I turn into a huge asshole," she told actor Adam Sandler during Variety's "Actors on Actors" series. "And that's like, my only way of defending myself."

The 27-year-old explained how she often turns down people who ask for selfies: "You know what I do sometimes? I go: 'It's my day off.' Like, if it's Sunday. I'm like: 'It's Sunday, I'm not working today'."

"You're good," Sandler said admiringly. "I sit them down. I feed them. Let them hang out with my kids."

Earlier this year, fellow actress Anne Hathaway said she had changed her mind about photos with fans.

Speaking on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, she explained: "I hope I wasn't a jerk to anybody, but in my head I was a jerk to people - a lot, for a period of time. And I just woke up one day and I just became so deeply flattered by it and saw it for what it is: it's just somebody giving you some of their energy in a nice way. And it's really not that hard to stand there and just say 'Thank you so much'."

During the interview Lawrence also commented on the clashes she had with director Darren Aronofsky during the promotional tour for their recent film mother!

"We'd be on the tour together. I'd come back to the hotel and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is the movie, and he comes back and that's all he wants to talk about," she said.

Lawrence and Aronofsky dated during production on the film and until the end of its promotional tour.

Upon the film's release, mother! became one of just a few films to be stamped with the dreaded "F" Cinemascore by US audiences - prompting Paramount Pictures to release a rare statement defending the film.
