Lawrence, who is expecting a baby with husband Cooke Maroney, is expected to return to the screen with Adam McKay’s comedy “Don’t Look Up”.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the 31-year-old star said: “I’m so nervous… I haven’t spoken to the world forever. And back to the now, when I have all these new accessories. add to my life that I obviously want to protect.”
The interview deals with the movies Lawrence has done before she took a step back from the limelight, including “Passengers”, “Mother!” “Red Sparrow” and “Dark Phoenix.”
“I didn’t pump out the quality that I should have,” she said. “I just thought people were getting sick of me. I would be sick of me.”
Lawrence said she was starting to think she couldn’t do anything right.
“If I walk on the red carpet, it’s ‘Why isn’t she running? “…I think I’ve been pleasing people for most of my life,” she said.
Currently, Lawrence is pregnant and although she refuses to talk about how she feels about being a mother, she has shared her thoughts on protecting her baby.
“Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as possible. I don’t want anyone to feel welcome in their existence. And I feel like it just starts with not including them in this as part of my job,” she said.
“Anyone can look at my naked body without my consent, any time of day,” she said. “Someone in France just published them. My heartbreak will last forever.”
She also recounted an experience from 2017 when a small private jet she was traveling had to make an emergency landing after both of its engines failed.
‘Flying is horrible and I have to do it all the time,’ she said, explaining how she had started leaving “small mental voicemails” to her family as the plane crashed.
“Look, Leo brought in more box office than me. I’m incredibly lucky and happy with my sale. But in other situations, what I’ve seen – and I’m sure there are other women in the force. the workforce has also seen — it’s extremely frustrating to ask for equal pay,” she said. “And if you question something that seems unequal, you’re told it’s not gender disparity but they can’t tell you exactly what it is.”
The series airs on Netflix next month, and CNN has reached out to the streaming service for comment.
