In the chat, The Hunger Games star revealed that she hopes to find a suitor whose opinion of her is unaffected by her fame.

‘I’m just a girl who wants you to be nice to me,’ she told the magazine. ‘I am straight as an arrow. I feel like I need to meet a guy, with all due respect, who has been living in Baghdad for five years who has no idea who I am.’

Lawrence said that she ‘can’t wait to be married’ and ‘would absolutely not f*** it up’ if she finds the right person.
