London,26 Nov (PTI): Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence says she is glad to have actor Liam Hemsworth as her best friend as he encourages her to stand up for herself.
The 24-year-old actress said she was surprised to find a lasting friendship with her ‘The Hunger Games’ co-star, reported Contactmusic.
“I guess the thing that surprised me is that I would never expect to ever have a man this good looking ever be my best friend. I just would never assume those things could happen, but he is. He’s (Hemsworth) the most wonderful, lovable, family-oriented, sweet, hilarious, amazing guy.
“He actually taught me how to be fair and to stand up for myself. It’s my biggest weakness: negotiating. I’m a wimp about standing up for myself and Liam is always fair. He’s always on time, he’s always doing his job, and he’s good about making sure that things stay fair. He’s teaching me to toughen up a little bit. That was important, I need that.”
Lawrence said the job changed her life because she has walked away with two very good friends in Hemsworth and their co-star Josh Hutcherson.
“If all I had was this friendship with Josh and Liam – if that’s all I ever got from this – I would consider it a blessing. Our lives changed together and we had each other.
