Everybody’s favorite clumsy Oscar winner is back in the limelight after making herself scarce for a few years. While promoting her latest film Causeway, Jennifer Lawrence opened up to New York Times writer Kyle Buchanan about her time away from the spotlight, revealing films she wished she’d passed on and what’s coming down the pipeline in the future.

In the profile, Lawrence spills the tea surrounding her infamous big night out at West Village gay haunt Pieces with none other than Adele, which saw the two stars palling around with the locals, playing drinking games, and doing karaoke together. Years earlier, the Grammy-winner gave Lawrence some advice that she wishes she had taken: to pass on her 2016 sci-fi film Passengers. “Adele told me not to do it,” Lawrence said of the critical flop that saw her star opposite Chris Pratt as two people in hibernation aboard a spacecraft. “She was like, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.’ I should have listened to her.”

In her Vanity Fair cover story last year, Lawrence admitted that there was a period of her career where “I was not pumping out the quality that I should have.” “I just think everybody had gotten sick of me,” she said. “I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’” 

In her New York Times profile, Lawrence expanded on her feeling of overexposure during the period she appeared in Passengers, Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! (2017), and Red Sparrow (2018). She spoke candidly about issues with her team at the time, who she said steered her away from smaller indie projects like Causeway for fear that they wouldn’t connect with the audience that she’d built with franchises like The Hunger Games. “I had let myself be hijacked,” she said. In August of 2018, she left her agency, CAA, after 10 years.  

When asked how she felt about the forthcoming Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, set to star West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler, Lawrence said, it “makes me feel old as mold. I remember being 21 and thinking, ‘My God, one day they’ll redo and remake them. But I’ll be so old by then! I’ll be dead!’” As for what’s next on her agenda, Lawrence highlighted projects that she’ll produce with her production company Excellent Cadaver and star in: the comedy No Hard Feelings with Broadway actor Andrew Barth Feldman; Die, My Love, an adaptation of the Ariana Harwicz novel that will be directed by Lynne Ramsay; and a biopic of Hollywood agent Sue Mengers.

Curiously absent from the profile was the news that Lawrence is no longer involved with Bad Blood, the film adaptation of the best-selling book detailing the rise and fall of convicted Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. According to a tweet from Buchanan, Lawrence dropped out of the project after watching Amanda Seyfried’s Emmy-winning portrayal of Holmes in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout. “I thought she was terrific,” said Lawrence. “I was like, ‘Yeah, we don’t need to redo that.’ She did it.”
