    Jennifer Lawrence doesn't watch her own movies

    The Oscar-winning actress is one of the best-paid stars in Hollywood, but Jennifer doesn't enjoy watching herself on the big screen.


    Speaking to Leonardo DiCaprio for Variety, Jennifer explained: "No [I don't watch my own films].

    "I've never made something like Titanic - if I did, I would watch it.

    "Once I was really drunk, I put on American Hustle. I was like, I wonder if I'm good at acting? I put it on, and I don't remember what the answer is."

    Jennifer, 35, feels she actually learned a lot about acting through working with David O. Russell, the director of Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and Joy.

    The actress explained: "He taught me how to act, really.

    "I want to be sensitive to the other actors who've worked with him. I know he's tough. He can be really, really hard on people. For me, I don't know if it was because I grew up doing sports, and so I felt like he was just a stern coach. 'Do it loud,' 'Do it quieter,' 'That was b*******,' 'That was bad,' 'Do it better.' He was very straightforward with me.

    "I was 21 when I did Silver Linings and it felt alive. I never felt like he was yelling at me. I really don't like being tiptoed around, like I'm an emotional landmine. I hate that."

    Meanwhile, Jennifer recently confessed that she finds her old interviews to be "so embarrassing".

    The actress behaved a certain way in interviews as a "defence mechanism" and Jennifer can now understand why she was "rejected" by elements of the public.

    She told The New Yorker: "Well, it is, or it was, my genuine personality, but it was also a defence mechanism. 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."
