NEW YORK — Jennifer Lawrence says growing up in Kentucky she always knew she would be famous.
The Best Actress Oscar-winner for “Silver Linings Playbook” tells the September issue of Vogue magazine that she used to “lie in bed and wonder” about what would make her well-known.
She says, “It wasn’t a vision. But as it’s kind of happening, you have this buried understanding: Of course.”
The 22-year-old also confesses her childhood was “unhappy” because she was “anxious.” Her parents even sent her to a therapist.
It was when she got cast in 2007 in the TV series “The Bill Engvall Show” that her mother realized she no longer needed counseling because acting made her happy.
