Jennifer Lawrence came out of the “Hunger Games” franchise with an unexpected bonus: a hot best friend.
In a new interview with Nylon magazine, the Oscar winner, 24, raved about her co-star, Liam Hemsworth, when asked to name something she learned about herself that surprised her.
“I guess the thing that surprised me is that I would never expect to ever have a man this good-looking ever be my best friend,” she told the mag of Liam. “I just would never assume those things could happen, but he is.
“He’s the most wonderful, lovable, family-oriented, sweet, hilarious, amazing guy,” she continued.
And JLaw learned valuable life lessons from the 24-year-old Aussie.
“He actually taught me how to be fair and to stand up for myself. It’s my biggest weakness: negotiating,” she said. “I’m a wimp about standing up for myself and Liam is always fair. He’s always on time, he’s always doing his job, and he’s good about making sure that things stay fair.”
Adding, “He’s teaching me to toughen up a little bit. That was important, I need that.”
The actress said part of her success in Hollywood has been the choice to hang with honest people, versus the typical Hollywood “yes” types.
“I have an amazing group of people around me. I surround myself with ‘no’ people. They will tell me, ‘Stop doing that’ or ‘You look terrible’—honest, real people,” she said. “My publicists I’ve had since I was 16 years old, they watched me grow up and they know me and they do love me; my agent, I’ve had since I was 17. I have an amazing group of friends that are not in the business that I’ve been friends with for years before any of this happened that I trust.”
