When Jennifer Lawrence took her famous tumble as she climbed the steps to accept her Best Actress Oscar, maybe she was just uncomfortable in her high heels.
The “Silver Linings Playbook star confessed to UK’s Fabulous magazine that she definitely prefers sensible footwear: “When I’m in high heels I feel like an ogre, I can’t walk and my feet are uncomfortable.”
The 5’7” starlet continued, “I’m at that awkward height where I’m already kind of tall, so when I put heels on, everyone is like: ‘Oh, well, where’s the ball?’
She added, “It’s just that they make me look too dressed up and yeah, I’m terrible in heels.”
Despite parading around all awards season, the 22-year-old confessed in the interview that she’s a terrified little puppy in the limelight.
“I’m afraid I’m going to go my whole life being scared like a Chihuahua,” the “Hunger Games” actress said. “It’s not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn’t be heard just talking. So, when I’m doing movies, I’m really happy. That’s where I’m comfortable, that’s my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into Chihuahua Jennifer.”
Even with famous friends like Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio, Lawrence said she’s still a homebody. “I do like going out but every time I’m out, I am always thinking about my couch. And I’m thinking I would probably be having more fun if I was on my couch right now…”
Known for her down-to-earth personality, she told the magazine she won’t let her fame get to her head.
“My family is not the kind of family that would ever let me turn into an a–hole or anything like that, so I am fortunate to have them.”
