Jennifer Lawrence is known for being easy-going and a funny girl. However, she had a bit of a run in with her fans that were more than what she expected. The 24-year-old Oscar winner was protected by her bodyguard when a barrier separating her and a swarm of fans collapsed due to the pressure from her over-excited admirers outside "Late Show with David Letterman" studio on Wednesday, November 12.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1 star was signing autographs for fans behind a barricade when all of a sudden the metal bars were pushed forward by overzealous fans.

However, Lawrence handled the situation like a real pro. She barely batted an eye before two guards grabbed a hold of her and she briskly walked across the street to get inside her chauffeured SUV.

The "Silver Linings Playbook" star, who was sporting an all-black outfit, was quickly whisked away by her bodyguards when the crowd started surging towards her.

The singer, who recently dated Chris Martin the frontman of Coldplay, told David Letterman during the show that she is not a confident singer. "I do not like singing in front of other people, that's like my biggest fear," she admitted. "I cried on set that day [when I had to sing] and apparently I'm crying all the time. That was awful."

"I'm like scarred from my childhood because I have a southern mother who would just tell me that I was amazing at everything, that I could do everything. But, I can't," she added. The actress also had a chance to sit on Letterman's chair to introduce a clip from "Mockingjay".
