Jennifer Lawrence -

The actress is very aware of how people can judge her. “I’m so scared to say anything now. I can see every negative way that people can take it, and I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining.

She’s over 40.’ And apparently, Julia [Roberts] — you and I are in a dispute over George Clooney. We talked about this, right? It’s shared custody and we’re both fine with it.”
