Jennifer Lawrence earned her reputation as a top actor; now she’s stepping behind the camera for her directorial debut, and the actress says she’s nervous.
The project is a feature film titled 6 small numbers. The Oscar winner shares the details on the Josh Horowitz podcast.
“[Kim Caramele] and I wrote this movie ‘6 Little Numbers’, and it’s funny, I think it’s funny. And in theory, I would star in it and direct it,” says the star, sharing her fears. “It’s just so embarrassing when things don’t go well.”
Jennifer is one of many stars exploring the world of directing. Scarlett Johansson, for example, made her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great in 2024.
In addition to directing, the actress recently opened up about a role she said was the most challenging of her career.
It was Red Sparrow, where she played Dominika, a former Russian ballerina turned spy. “Well, technically I mean Red Sparrow, because I had to learn a Russian accent,” she said at the Kaufmann Concert Hall 92NY.
“Part of preparing for Dominika was the physical training with the ballet. It was something I thought about constantly throughout the script.”
Red Sparrow was released in 2018.
