Jennifer Lawrence admits that she use to get drunk and high with Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth after doing press events and premieres for The Hunger Games.
To help cope with the intense pressures of fame, which which made her feel like a ‘commodity’ and overwhelmed, the Don’t Look Up star, 32, recalled how she and her costars would blow off steam by smoking weed and getting buzzed.
‘The boys and I would always go back to our hotel and just drink whiskey and get stoned,’ she confessed.

‘Jennifer Lawrence is Katniss Everdeen, I guess,’ she said. ‘Is that weird?’
Following the announcement of a prelude to the original film series, titled The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Lawrence admits the reboot makes her ‘feel old as mold.’
‘I remember being 21 and thinking, ‘My God, one day they’ll redo and remake them. But I’ll be so old by then! I’ll be dead!’ she joked.
Once-in-a-lifetime role: The Oscar-winning actress, who portrayed the fiery Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies based on the novels by Suzanne Collins of the same name, also noted that she understands that she will ‘always be tied to the character’ (seen in 2012)

Now that she’s no longer currently attached to an upcoming teen dystopian films, the mom-of-one mused that she’s ‘not scared of 13-year-olds anymore.’
‘They have no idea who I am,’ the actress said. ‘I can tell things are different by my interactions in the real world, just by the way that I can move about life.’
She added: ‘There’s an occasional article about me walking out in Ugg boots, but other than that, the interest has lessened, God bless it.’
Last month, Lawrence admitted to feeling like a ‘commodity’ and ‘lost a sense of control’ after achieving global superstardom through The Hunger Games.
‘When I reflect now, I can’t think of those following years, [because there was] just a loss of control,’ the 32-year-old actress recalled, according to Variety.
The performer explained: ‘Between The Hunger Games coming out and winning the Oscar [for 2012’s Silver Lining Playbook], I became such a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision.’

Jennifer recently took a years-long hiatus from feature films before making her comeback last year in the apocalypse comedy Don’t Look Up.
She has managed to wrest back the control that she lost, and the process of making movies now ‘feels personal for me the first time in a long time.’
Her production company is called Excellent Cadaver, which is a reference to the way she has worked to reshape her identity.
Although she became a critical darling for the 2010 drama Winter’s Bone, she shot to the global international fame she enjoys today by way of The Hunger Games.
She then became a mainstay of major franchise tentpoles, acting in not just the Hunger Games film series but also the X-Men movies.

Alongside the blockbusters she also appeared in such features as Passengers alongside Chris Pratt and mother! directed by her then-beau Darren Aronofsky.
She was a scene-stealing presence in the 2013 film American Hustle amid a top-flight cast including Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner.
Jennifer announced in September 2017 that she was taking a sabbatical from acting and made her comeback with last year’s Netflix hit Don’t Look Up amid a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.
‘I don’t have anything set for two years,’ she told Savannah Guthrie on the Today show in 2017, joking that she might ‘start making pots.’
In 2018, she founded her production company Excellent Cadaver, through which she is one of the producers on her upcoming drama Causeway.
The movie is helmed by Broadway director Lila Neugebauer and stars Jennifer as an Afghanistan veteran with a brain injury trying to acclimate to civilian life.
Jennifer recently told Vogue’s 73 Questions that the strangest rumor she ever heard about herself was ‘That I f***ed Harvey Weinstein.’
