After 20 years of fame, Clooney's humble personna may be fake, I don't think Jennifer Lawrence's personna is fake. Part of it simply is because it appears the lights are on and someone is home. She has even veered towards some politically incorrect comments, such as her indifference to PETA's criticism of bowhunting. Jon Stewart is a big fan of her acting, BTW. Sent from Blue Mail
