Jennifer once had severe psychological problems

The 27-year-old star, who features in Aronofsky-directed film Mother!, said she threw the script across the room when she read it, reported People magazine.

"Once he told me the ideas floating around in his head, and I said yes. Then I got a script and when I read it I threw it across the room and told him he had severe psychological problems. But it's a masterpiece..." Lawrence said at a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The Oscar-winning actor said she immediately agreed to do the film before she even read the script.

"It was an instant yes before I even read anything. He told me his ideas and I thought they were brilliant and unique and challenging. I've been a fan of his for years I think he's bold and brave, and I think I said brilliant," she said.
