Your support makes all the difference.Jennifer Lawrence has spoken candidly about one of the most critically-maligned films of her career thus far, Passengers.
The Oscar-winning actress starred in the 2016 sci-fi from Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) alongside Chris Pratt, however upon its release, critics highlighted a plot flaw which saw the latter's character wake up during a 120-year journey through space 90 years early before questionably waking up Lawrence's character after enduring a year alone - something many branded “creepy.”
Speaking to Vogue, she said: “I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t spot it. I thought the script was beautiful - it was this tainted, complicated love story. It definitely wasn’t a failure. I’m not embarrassed by it by any means. There was just stuff that I wished I’d looked into deeper before jumping on.”
Lawrence also spoke about falling victim to a nude photo hack
“I think people saw [the hacking] for what it was, which was a sex crime, but that feeling, I haven't been able to get rid of it. Having your privacy violated constantly isn't a problem if you're perfect. But if you're human, it's terrifying.”
She added: “When my publicist calls me, I'm like, 'Oh, my God, what is it?' Even when it's nothing. I'm always waiting to get blindsided again.
“It's scary when you feel the whole world judges you.”
The actress will next bee seen in psychological horror Mother! from filmmaker Darren Aronofsky.
