Jennifer Lawrence, of the 'Hunger Games' sensation has had eyes set on becoming a medical professional had she not tread on the winding road of show business. Her career started when she was discovered in New York by a photographer who then signed her up to become a model
Lawrence however jokingly admits that had she become a doctor she would have to illegally operate as she thinks she does not have enough "focus" to pass her diagnosis.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight she was quoted saying: ''I would like to say doctor but I know I don't have the focus for it, so I'd probably be like an out-of-work doctor trying to illegally operate on people.''
Her success in her acting career also has also propelled her to try other opportunities. The 25 year old actress also disclosed that she is interested in being behind the camera as a director in the film industry.
She said: ''I'd like to direct a comedy. I have wanted to direct as long as I've wanted to act. I just don't talk about it because I'd rather just do it.
''I've signed on to direct something called 'Project Delirium' - it's based on this article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong. It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready.''
