Jennifer Lawrence had a swift rise from unknown budding actress to Oscar nominated Hollywood star.
Despite being one of the most in demand names, the box office success and award accolades have not gone to her head.
The down-to-earth 22-year-old from Louisville, Kentucky, hasn't changed and still says what she thinks even when it goes against the expected etiquette of the day.

She said: 'I just constantly feel so lucky, that I don't really have time to feel cocky.
'I was raised to have value for money, to have respect for money, even though you have a lot of it.'

'That's why minibars are difficult, because it's like yes, I can afford a $6 Snickers bar, but there's just something wrong with that!
'I still drive my same car I've been driving for a long time and I haven't bought a house yet.'
Her well disciplined and grounded attitude is a product of her family making sure the Jennifer they grew up with never becomes a demanding diva.
'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'.
Although she can count heartthrob Bradley Cooper as a friend J-Law likes to keep the people she grew up with close to her.
She said: 'I don't ever walk around feeling famous. I walk around feeling the exact same way I have walked around my entire life, but it's not until I talk to somebody and see in their eyes that I'm different. It makes me feel weird.'
