Jennifer Lawrence rules out theatre as one of the possible try-outs for her. The reason she says is because of her “horrible stage fright.” Lawrence won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2013 for the romantic comedy-drama ‘Silver Linings Playbook’. She was also nominated as best actress for ‘Winter’s Bone’ in 2011, ‘American Hustle’ in 2014, and ‘Joy’ in 2015.
In a BBC interview, she talked about her stage fright and also about her latest movie ‘Causeway’. It is an emotional drama about a soldier healing from trauma, chasing belongingness and figuring out life in a world lonelier than a battlefield.

Why Did Jennifer Lawrence Say She Will Not Work In Theatre?
Oscar-winning actress and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has said she will not work on stage, blaming her voice and nerves. “I truly think it would be terrible,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Front Row. “I’m not in touch with my voice,” she said. “I’m scared, I have horrible stage fright. So I might not even be able to use my voice.“
Lawrence likened performing in the theatre, night after night, to “doing take 10,000” of a film. “The more I rehearse something, the more I get upset. I would be like, ‘Oh let’s just try something new’,” she said. Hollywood stars are not always guaranteed success on stage.

Know About Lawrence’s Latest Film ‘Causeway’
Lawrence’s latest film ‘Causeway‘ is directed by Lila Neugebauer. The theatre director told Front Row that Lawrence is “a woman of great clarity about her own desires, instincts and objectives so I’ve expressed my respect for her position, though I disagree”. It is the first film made by Lawrence’s production company, which she says gave her the freedom to be “more personal” in her choice of work.
“In my 20s I was in a lot of franchises”, such as ‘The Hunger Games’, she said. “There was a lot of people in the room deciding what [her character] Katniss does next. I feel like becoming less of a commodity has actually given me a lot more freedom to make what I want to make, with the people I want to make it. Now I feel less confused and I feel a lot more in control.”
