Jennifer Lawrence has given her honest opinion on why she thinks she came across as 'annoying' in the mid-2010s.
It feels like the film star has been around forever, having risen to fame 15 years ago in her breakthrough role in Winter's Bone - a flick that would go on to earn her an Oscar nomination at the age of just 20.
In 2012, her Katniss Everdeen character then took on a life of its own and led to the release of four The Hunger Games movies.

Now at 35, the Academy Award winner has reflected on the way she thinks she was perceived at the peak of her fame back in the 2010s.
Speaking with The New Yorker ahead of the release of her new film Die, My Love, Lawrence said she was 'so hyper' and 'so embarrassing' in her older interviews.
Although some may argue her appearances on The Graham Norton Show were iconic, she was under the impression that some people thought that she was being fake.
"Well, it is, or it was, my genuine personality, but it was also a defence mechanism,” Lawrence explained.

"And so it was a defence mechanism, to just be, like, 'I’m not like that! I poop my pants every day'."
"I look at those interviews, and that person is annoying. I get why seeing that person everywhere would be annoying. Ariana Grande’s impression of me on SNL was spot-on," she went on.
The actor confessed that, looking back, she was feeling 'rejected' by Hollywood.
"I felt—I didn’t feel, I was, I think—rejected not for my movies, not for my politics, but for me, for my personality," she said.
Grande, 32, did an impression of Lawrence during a sketch some nine years ago, referring to herself as 'a regular person'. Take a look:
As her true fans will hope she'll never change, the actor recently thought to tell a bizarre story about her Die, My Love co-star Robert Pattinson on The Graham Norton Show.
"Because Rob is one of the girls. Like he wants to gossip," Lawrence said alongside fellow guests Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White and Tessa Thompson.

"He's also like my daughter," she continued. “Like he's a great father, he's a professional, he shows up on time. But I wouldn't trust that he put a coat on or like he's not going to eat on time.”
When he arrived, the Twilight star asked if there was anything to eat, and Lawrence told him that all she had was food in the bin.
"So while he was in the bathroom, I was just like pulling food out of my garbage can,” she recalled.

“So he eats it, and we're all just kind of watching him eat this trash. And then when he was finished, he was like, ‘I'm still hungry, is there more?’”
“And I'm like, ‘Well, there is, but it's in the garbage.’ And he was like, ‘I don't mind,’ and then he just pulled it out of the trash and kept eating it.”
Psychological drama Die, My Love follows Grace (Lawrence), a writer and new mother who, after moving to Montana with her partner Jackson (Pattinson), descends into postpartum depression and psychosis.
As Grace's mental state deteriorates, so does her relationship with Jackson.
Die, My Love comes out in the UK on 7 November.
