Lawrence said she thought the attention was worse for comedians because people “just assume they’re your best friend.”

She went on to say that she frequently walks her dog in New York’s Central Park but she gets more attention whenever she is with her comedian friend, Amy Schumer.

“That’s like my only defence,” Lawrence said. “One of my best friends is Amy Schumer. I take my dog to the park all the time, to Central Park. As soon as I meet her in the park, we’re f**ked.”
