“My mother-in-law’s going to love this. I don’t do it anymore, I’m a mom!” the Causeway actress joked in an interview with The New York Times
Jennifer Lawrence once had a specific way she preferred to unwind after the hubbub of in-person Hunger Games premieres and press events.
“The boys and I would always go back to our hotel and just drink whiskey and get stoned,” the Causeway actress, 32, said in a recent profile with The New York Times, referring to herself and her two main costars in the franchise, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson, per the outlet.
She added with a laugh, “My mother-in-law’s going to love this. I don’t do it anymore, I’m a mom!”
While reflecting on the crowded events, Lawrence said the four Hunger Games films, which premiered in 2012 and took their final bow in 2015, were “fantastic.”
“The only thing that gave me pause was just how famous it would make me,” she shared.
The Academy Award winner also said that hearing news about the upcoming Hunger Games prequel film, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, made 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!’ ” Lawrence told the outlet.
Her latter comments come after, in September, she gave some advice to the cast of the prequel, which includes Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth in the lead roles.
“You guys are going to have the best time. Just have fun — don’t worry about anything,” Lawrence told reporters with a smile at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In her interview with the Times, Lawrence — who tied the knot with Cooke Maroney in October 2019, before the couple welcomed son Cy this past February — said that “now, full circle, I’m kind of getting the life that I imagined.”
She also joked she isn’t “scared of 13-year-olds anymore,” as “they have no idea who I am.”
“I can tell things are different by my interactions in the real world, just by the way that I can move about life,” she said.
Lawrence added, “There’s an occasional article about me walking out in Ugg boots, but other than that, the interest has lessened, God bless it.”
