Jennifer Lawrence's brief stint as a singer in the first installment of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" has landed her on the UK charts, but Lawrence is more focused on the friendships she made onset, like with her "best friend" Liam Hemsworth.
Citing Hollywood Reporter as source, Time reports that Lawrence's song on "Mockingjay Part 1," "The Hanging Tree," has landed at No. 29 of the U.K.'s Official Charts Company. This is despite the singer apparently hating to sing and movie director Francis Lawrence sharing that Lawrence considered the day she needed to sing as "her least favorite day" when he talked to RadioTimes.com.
"The Hanging Tree" was scored by James Newton Howard and is included in the soundtrack for the movie, Breaking News shares.
Award-winning actor Lawrence sings the song included in Suzanne Collins' book.
While Lawrence may hate having to sing for the movie, the actress does not have any problems working with her co-stars, as apparently she is best friends with Liam Hemsworth, who plays Gale Hawthorne. Lawrence was full of praises for Hemsworth when she talked to Nylon magazine, Vanity Fair details.
Lawrence says, "He's the most wonderful, lovable, family-oriented, sweet, hilarious, amazing guy." Lawrence explicitly called Hemsworth her best friend and also opened up about Hemsworth teaching her to stand up for herself.
"It's my biggest weakness: negotiating. I'm a wimp about standing up for myself and Liam is always fair," Lawrence shared. She also adds, "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."
Meanwhile, Lawrence seemed to have toughened up after her nude photo scandal this year.
The scandal has been the center of news for weeks while Lawrence was not seen in public. Even private person Natalie Dormer, whose character, Cressida, is introduced in "Mockingjay Part 1," has expressed her dislike for what Lawrence went through. Talking to Nylon magazine, Dormer is reported saying, "I don't think there's any level of fame that can justify that kind of invasion into privacy, not to mention laws being broken. I mean, people just need to get a grip if they think that's even halfway acceptable." Dormer considered the scandal "horrific."
