Sigourney Weaver, 65, thinks Jennifer Lawrence is “brilliant”.
The veteran actress, who stars in the new sci-fi film Chappie, has expressed her admiration for young film stars of today, many of whom live their lives under constant scrutiny.
She said: “There is now escape now.”
In particular, Sigourney complimented Lawrence for how she coped with the fallout from the photo-hacking scandal last year.
She told the Sunday Times: “It’s something actors need to figure out how to combat, as it doesn’t serve anyone to have privacy invaded to such an extent.
“She (Lawrence) is brilliant. Leave her alone. But I’m a grandmother practically.”
Sigourney is also set to appear in a new instalment of the Alien franchise.
