  • 11 March 2015

So it seems not EVERYONE loves Jennifer Lawrence. The Oscar-winner has won the hearts and minds of movie fans and critics thanks to not only her performances, but her self-deprecating humor. Still, in a new interview, actress Chloe Sevigny said she doesn't think Lawrence should be counted among the greats.

"I love when a movie star is a great movie star.I think Angelina is a great movie star. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she's herself, she's really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass," she told V Magazine.

"I'm afraid that maybe people think there's more personality than acting ability. I would like to be respected as an actress."

"It's not like I can complain about anything. I think I've had great opportunities, but you can always have more.

"I understand star quality, how much value it carries. I don't think I have charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level."

Sevigny, who achieved performing unsimulated fellatio on Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny, has worked with Rizzoli on a new coffee table book, which is a celebration of "bad taste."

"Everyone is so obsessed with good taste, and I find that really boring," she said of the project.

"I was really selective and wanted to set a mood and capture this spirit of not, like, the pretty girl, the sexy girl, but a different quality."

Sevigny is currently shooting Whit Stillman's Jane Austen adaptation Love and Friendship, with Kate Beckinsale and Xavier Samuel.

Lawrence will next star in David O'Russell's biopic Joy - an early frontrunner for next year's Oscars.
