Jennifer Lawrence reveals she's got one major fear about sex

Jennifer Lawrence once got candid about her sex life, claiming isn't wasn't active as the world thought it would be due to one major fear.

Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is known for getting pretty candid in interviews.

The 33-year-old has previously shared the gross aftermath of filming Hot Ones with Sean Evans, and admitted that she barely understood what was going on in one of her many famous film roles.

And, in 2018, Lawrence got real about her personal life, revealing that she's got a pretty serious fear when it comes to sex.

While promoting her film Red Sparrow at the time, she told The Sun: "I always talk like I want d**k, but the truth is when I look back at my sexual past it was always with boyfriends.

"I talk like I like it, but I don’t really do it."

The reason why? J-Law is a major germaphobe.

"I am mostly also a germaphobe," she said. "I have made it this far without an STI."

Lawrence then added: "D**k is dangerous. If I was at the point where I could get an STI, doctors have already been involved. That is how much of a germaphobe I am."

Elsewhere in the interview, she said: "I am not in a relationship. I am making it clear that I have not had sex in a very long time. I would like to have a relationship, you know – it’s hard out there!"

Little did she know that she'd get married a little over 18 months later.

The Hunger Games star married gallerist Cooke Maroney in 2019, and the pair went on to welcome a son named Cy into the world in 2022.

More recently, Lawrence admitted that she 'should have listened' to Adele, after the 'Hello' singer warned her about a movie role which flopped.

In 2016, she starred in space rom-com Passengers alongside Chris Pratt as two people who board a spaceship to 'Homestead II,' but mistakenly wake up with 90 years left to go on their voyage.

The movie achieved a feeble 30 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed just $300 million (£262 million) worldwide. It cost $110 million (£89 million) to make.

Speaking of her fans' disappointment in the film, Jen said: "I was like, 'Oh no, you guys are here because I’m here, and I’m here because you’re here. Wait, who decided that this was a good movie?'

"Adele told me not to do it! She was like, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies’. I should have listened to her."
