Jennifer Lawrence: I'm an ogre in heels

Jennifer Lawrence says she's an 'ogre' in high heels.

The 22-year-old star - who is five feet seven inches tall - said she is 'uncomfortable' in the height-enhancing shoes, preferring more casual footwear.

She told Fabulous magazine: 'When I'm in high heels I feel like an ogre, I can't walk and my feet are uncomfortable.'

The 'Silver Linings Playbook' actress revealed she feels 'too dressed up' in heels, which add to her relatively tall frame.

She admitted: 'I'm at that awkward height where I'm already kind of tall, so when I put heels on, everyone is like: 'Oh, well, where's the ball?'

'It's just that they make me look too dressed up and yeah, I'm terrible in heels.'

Jennifer also recently compared her appearances at award ceremonies with a scared 'chihuahua'.

She said: 'I'm afraid I'm going to go through my whole life being scared like a chihuahua.

'It's not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn't be heard just talking.

'So, when I'm doing movies, I'm really happy. That's where I'm comfortable, that's my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into chihuahua Jennifer.'
