Jennifer Lawrence Opened Up About Allowing Herself To Get Quieter When She Vanished From The Spotlight After Admitting She Thought The Public Were “Sick” Of Her ‎

Jennifer Lawrence is very much back, and she’s reflecting on how she’s changed after her time away from the spotlight.

After starring in some of Hollywood’s biggest productions of the past decade, the Hunger Games star made the call to scale back her public life and enjoy some well-earned downtime following the release of X-Men: Dark Phoenix back in 2019.

So with that — and the added complication of a global pandemic — it’s certainly been a while since we’ve heard from Jen. But despite not acting, it seems like the Oscar winner has still been keeping herself busy away from the public eye.

In the two years since she’s been away, Jen got married to her partner, Cooke Maroney, and the couple also announced earlier this year that they are expecting their first child together.

Luckily for us, her return to the Hollywood scene has been made all the more exciting by the addition of some fantastic pregnancy looks too, which she’s been sporting throughout the promotional tour for her brand-new movie.

Back with a bang, Jennifer is set to make her return to screens this month in Adam McKay’s new dark comedy, Don’t Look Up, which boasts a pretty monumental cast lineup, including the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, and Jonah Hill.

Promoting the star-studded Netflix movie on Dec. 6, Jennifer — and her growing baby bump — graced the sofa on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to fill us in about her time away from the cameras.

Host Stephen Colbert proceeded to ask Jennifer what she learned from her time away from the spotlight, which prompted the actor to detail how she had become reliant on the “comfort” of movie-making before she finally made the decision to step back.

“I think the things I learned are so deep and profound … that I don’t want to tell you,” she began with a laugh.

“I mean, it was really nice,” she said. “I’ve always found comfort in a schedule and doing something and being somewhere, and just kind of the comfort of being on set where the world is one thing and very organized.”

“I think coming out of the Hunger Games and all of that, it was nice. I took a break and nobody really cared and it was quiet,” Jennifer added, before alluding to the pressures that came with her global stardom.

“I got to feel like I could become a part of the world again without fanfare. Literal fanfare,” she concluded.

In response, Stephen illustrated the contrast between the wildness of the pandemic, and the more reserved shift in Jen’s (notoriously bubbly) public persona.

“As the world got crazier over the last few years — and it has gotten crazier over the last few years that you stepped away — you allowed yourself to get quieter, which is such an interesting juxtaposition between you and the world,” Stephen said, prompting Jennifer’s agreement.
