Richard E Grant has predicted that Jennifer Lawrence will find it “very hard” to avoid being changed by fame.

Grant told Digital Spy that he is a huge fan of the Hunger Games actress, and hopes that she will be able to keep a level head after achieving so much success and popularity at a young age.

Naming Lawrence as one of his favourite young actresses at the EE and Esquire pre-BAFTA party at The Savoy, Grant said: “I’ve seen everything she’s done.

“I think you have to be [grounded], but at the same time I also know if fame and fortune is thrown at somebody’s head when they’re very young, it’s very hard not to have your world turned upside down.”

Grant also singled out Lawrence’s boyfriend Nicholas Hoult and Les Miserables star Eddie Redmayne as two other particularly talented young stars.

The Withnail & I star also spoke about launching his own fragrance in April, stating that he hasn’t just put his name to a random product like some other celebrities.

“I don’t think [other stars] make their own. They’re not involved,” he said. “I know what every single part of the process has been, what everything costs, where it’s sourced from – I haven’t just put my name to something somebody else has come up with. It’s my signature in scent.”

He continued: “I’ve been obsessed with smelling everything since I can remember. I tried to make perfume when I was a kid, so this is like a fulfilment of a lifetime dream.”
