Jennifer Lawrence sees many parallels between her own life and that of her 'Hunger Games' character Katniss Everdeen.
The actress - who celebrated the launch of the new instalment of the franchise at the world premiere of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' in London last night (10.11.14) - has compared the character's struggle to deal with her new found fame with that of her own life when she began being recognised for her talent.
She explained to BANG Showbiz: "I remember reading the first books, and when I read them I was going through my first awards season for 'Winter's Bone' and I'd never experienced anything like that. Just being put in dresses that are uncomfortable and looking not like myself and everyone's listening to you and you're like, 'Don't listen to me, I'm 20!' And then growing into it in a way.
"I feel like there were a few parallels having people look at you and listen to you at a young age when you don't really feel ready, and forcing yourself, thinking, 'People are listening to me so what should I say?' "
However, the 24-year-old star doesn't think she'd be able to handle the pressure that Katniss finds herself under as the symbol of hope for rebellion in the fictional world of Panem.
She added: "I feel like drawing on personal experiences is tricky for me, I never really understand because it's not me, it's a very particular person who handles her emotions in a very different way.
"I'd be crying every single day if I was Katniss, I'd be like, 'Where's my mom?' "
Jennifer was joined on the red carpet at the premiere of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' by her co-stars Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson, Jena Malone, Donald Sutherland, Julianne Moore and Natalie Dormer.
Other celebrities in attendance included Daisy Lowe, Lorde and
Katie Price and her husband Kieran Hayler.

An old car formerly owned by Britain's Countess of Wessex is up for auction for £7,000.
A old Morris Minor which previously belonged to Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, has been put up for auction at Bonham's and is expected to fetch £7,000.
The maroon coloured car was originally bought for the blonde beauty in 1988 by her boyfriend at the time.
But by then, the now 49-year-old Countess - who married Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex in 1999 - was the third owner of the vehicle and in 1992 she sold the car for £200 as scrap.
According to Bonhams listing, a car enthusiast saved the would-be junk and spent an incredible £1,000 fixing the Morris Minor and restored it to "show standard" and before the current owner decided to put the vintage vehicle up for auction it was destined to go on show at a motoring museum.
Morris Minors first came into production in 1948 and continued until 1971 after more than 1.3 million of the little cars where in circulation.
The Morris Minor will go on sale on November 12 at Bonhams in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
