Two can play this game!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mGYd7n8-S9A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2011 interview<\/a> promoting the film,&nbsp;Lawrence said that Gibson &#8220;carries the movie in an amazing way. He&#8217;s incredible at what he does. I remember at the table read looking at him thinking, This guy needs an Oscar, for the table read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About Foster, Lawrence said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever met a person that I respect more&nbsp;in my entire life. She&#8217;s one of the smartest people I&#8217;ve ever met. She&#8217;s an&nbsp;amazing director\u2014I mean, technically, genius. And she knows how to talk to actors, which is so important&#8230;And it&#8217;s like somebody forgot to tell her that she&#8217;s famous, she&#8217;s just so normal.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Foster, meanwhile, was pretty complimentary of Lawrence, who between filming and their movie&#8217;s release had become a star.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She has something that&#8217;s really special, and I don&#8217;t know if she has any control over it or if she&#8217;s even aware of it, really,&#8221; Foster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amc.com\/talk\/2011\/05\/qa-jodie-fost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told AMC<\/a>, &#8220;but she has this pain that exists in her face. It&#8217;s as if she has lived through world wars. And nothing could be further from who Jennifer is! She is a fun-loving Kentucky girl. She is a lot of fun to be around. She is anything but that, yet she has a weariness that can come out of her. And that&#8217;s an amazing quality that just brings so much to dramas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1149410\/secrets-about-all-the-jennifer-lawrence-movies-you-forgot-about?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
