Sorry, JLaw fans, it might be a while before we see Jennifer Lawrence on the silver screen again!

Despite what one might believe, it takes a lot to be one of Hollywood's favorite actresses, according to TIME. It turns out Jennifer Lawrence wasn't messing around when she said she was turning off her cellphone for a year after finishing work with the "Hunger Games" trilogy. According to producer Harvey Weinstein, she really is taking a year-long hiatus from acting.

"She's going to have a long break for a year where she won't do anything. It's been non-stop for her and she deserves a rest," the "Silver Linings Playbook producer told the U.K's Sun on Sunday.

Along with her all of her work with "The Hunger Games," which includes promoting "Catching Fire" and filming for both parts of "Mockingjay," Lawrence has also been making the rounds in awards ceremonies for her Oscar-nominated role in "American Hustle." Plus she stars in "X-men: Days of Future Past" and "Serena," both expected to be out later this year.

While Lawrence might disappoint fans by stepping out of the spotlight for a bit, she is still Hollywood's darling of the moment. Taking this break will be good for the Actress's career as well as her health. Her break could also let everyone appreciate just how great she really is.
