Jennifer Lawrence Thinks Acting is 'Stupid'

"Winter's Bone" actress Jennifer Lawrence may have garnered a few more fans with her candid revelation that she thinks acting is “stupid.”

But don’t misunderstand her… she doesn’t mean to ruffle any feathers, Kristen Stewart-style.

"Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid. Everybody’s like, ‘How can you remain with a level head?’ And I’m like, ‘Why would I ever get cocky? I’m not saving anybody’s life.’”

Lawrence added pointedly, “’There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I’m making movies. It’s stupid.’”

The “Hunger Games” and “Silver Linings Playbook” actress admitted, "I call my mom sobbing all the time . . . dealing with the repercussions of having no more anonymity. You lose privacy. As much as this is a curse, as stupid as it sounds, to make as much money as I am by doing something that I love, it's hard not to regret it when you're being chased by 15 strangers."

However, even the level-headed lady gets a little star-struck now and then.

“Once I’m obsessed with somebody, I’m terrified of them instantly. I’m not scared of them—I’m scared of me and how I will react,” she admits.

“Like, for instance, one time someone was introducing me toBill Maher, I saw Meryl Streep walk into the room, and I literally put my hand right in Bill Maher’s face and said, ‘Not now, Bill!,’ and I just stared at Meryl Streep."

Apparently Bill Maher was not enough star power to stop her in her tracks. But, then again, Meryl Streep. Argument invalid.
