The actress opens up about how 'every time it was a No. 2' when she was in her teens, she pretended she was being interviewed by the 'Ellen' host.
The host noted how remarkable it was that her pretend interviews had become a reality. “To be in Kentucky, to actually be sitting on the toilet pretending that you’re getting interviewed by somebody, then end up being a big superstar, and now being interviewed talking about sitting on a toilet pretending to be interviewed,” DeGeneres said.
DeGeneres noted that there are likely other people who did the same thing but didn’t grow up to be famous: “So it’s big deal, right?” she asked Lawrence. Quipped the actress, and new mom: “Yeah, I mean, I really manifested hard on there. Maybe that’s the lesson: Take your time. Don’t rush it.” Lawrence, who is now 31, said her pretend interviews took place when she was between the ages of 13 and 17. She said the questions she would pretend to answer included: “‘How did you get so pretty? You’re probably the prettiest person I’ve ever seen.’ And I’d be like, ‘Oh stop, I’m definitely not the prettiest person you’ve ever seen.'”DeGeneres ended the interview asking Lawrence if there was a role that she was disappointed not to have gotten.” she said. “Because I went in and was speaking in a British accent, thinking there was no way they’d find out I was not actually British. So when I didn’t get it, it was like a failure on all sorts of fronts.”
