Jennifer Lawrence was one of those stars that shot to fame in an instant, and it’s hard to believe that it’s only been five years since she became a global superstar thanks to The Hunger Games. With her new movie mother! hitting theaters this week, J. Law has shared that she may take a break as long as two years from acting, PEOPLE says.
Lawrence appeared on Today in a prerecorded interview Thursday morning, sharing her decision with anchor Savannah Guthrie.
“I’m taking [a break],” the actress said when Guthrie mentioned she has done at least one film a year since 2010. “I don’t have anything set for two years…I think I’m just taking a little break.”
Lawrence then joked, “I’ll see you in six months.”
Although the interview mainly focused on her role in mother!, Lawrence touched upon her adjustment to fame, which could totally be a contributing factor to her hiatus. “When I’m getting photographed just walking to Starbucks, I’m like…’Why do you feel entitled to this?'” she said. “I was angry and resentful because I thought I deserved the right to do what I love and do my job and then still have privacy. And then after a few years, you’re just like, ‘But that’s not the way it is. It’s just not.'”
Although I doubt that her break from acting will last two full years, Lawrence definitely deserves a little vacation time from Hollywood.
