Jennifer Lawrence is esteem-hungry

Actress Jennifer Lawrence

Actress Jennifer Lawrence thinks she is horrible. The Hunger Games star admits she suffers from such strong self-doubt that she always fears each job will be her last.

After watching the movie – which is based on Suzanne Collins’ book trilogy – for the first time at the recent Los Angeles premier, she confessed the only part she didn’t like about it was herself.

“I mean, it’s always hard for me, watching, because I think I’m a horrible troll and I’ll never work again. But overall I think everyone else in the movie is fantastic,” she says.

The self-deprecating actress – who was nominated for an Oscar for her lead role in 2010 film Winter’s Bone – believes she has a whole host of flaws including an inability to sing, whistle or dance.

“You should see me dance. I’m terrible at everything. God, this is really sad. I can’t do anything. I’m like short-selling myself. I’m like, ‘I fake everything. I’m not a good actor. Next question!'” she says.

But despite her insecurities, 21-year-old Jennifer’s star is on the rise and she has started to attract the attention of the paparazzi.

“I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We’re way past autographs, we’re into being stalked and followed,” she told MTV News.

In the meantime, Jennifer is waiting with bated breath to see what fans think of her portrayal of heroine Katniss Everdeen.

“Everybody’s been really nice. But the movie’s not out yet, so we’ll see.”
