Jennifer Lawrence admits feeling nervous over taking new step

Jennifer Lawrence earned her reputation as an ace actor; now she is stepping behind the camera for her directorial debut, and the actress says she is nervous.

The project is a feature film titled 6 Little Numbers. The Oscar winner shares the details on the Josh Horowitz podcast.

“[Kim Caramele] and I have been writing this movie ‘6 Little Numbers,’ and it’s funny, I think it’s funny. And I would theoretically star in it and direct it," the star says, sharing her fears, “Just so embarrassing if it doesn’t go well."

Jennifer is one of several stars who are exploring the world of directing. Scarlett Johansson, for example, made her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great in 2024.

In addition to direction, the actress recently opened up about a role she said was the most challenging in her career.

It was Red Sparrow, where she played Dominika, a former Russian ballerina turned spy. “Well, I mean, technically speaking, Red Sparrow, because I had to learn a Russian accent,” she said at 92NY Kaufmann Concert Hall.

“Part of preparing for Dominika was the physical training with the ballet. It was something that was on my mind constantly throughout the entire script.”

Red Sparrow was released in 2018.
