May 9, 2014 4:21 PM UTC If you’ve been holding your breath since February, when [Harvey Weinstein said that Jennifer Lawrence was planning to take a year off from acting](http://time.com/9265/jennifer-lawrence-may-take-a-year-off-from-hollywood/), you can let it out. She seems to be joining [the illustrious ranks](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/03/21/ryan-gosling-taking-a-break-joins-leo-and-channing-in-actors-on-vacation-club/) of stars who find that taking a break isn’t quite as easy as it sounds. In the new issue of _Marie Claire_, for which J. Law is the cover-story subject, the star [clarifies](http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/jlaw) what exactly that plan will entail — and it doesn’t sound like she’ll really be spending a whole year out of work and out of the public eye: --- > “” --- Though Lawrence doesn’t explain exactly how to slow down or speed up resting time — hibernation? — she does go on to say that she plans to take that time after she finishes both of the remaining _Hunger Games_ movies. She adds that she’ll spend part of it shadowing _Mockingjay_‘s director as he edits the film, with hopes that the experience will be useful when she herself gets behind the camera to make a movie, something that she wants to do in the near future. Particularly nervous Lawrence fans can keep their pulses down with a big dose of the actress coming up very soon: _X-Men: Days of Future Past_ is out May 23. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/94041/jennifer-lawrence-marie-claire-year-off/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/94041/jennifer-lawrence-marie-claire-year-off/"},"headline":"Don't Worry, Jennifer Lawrence Isn't Really Taking a Year Off","datePublished":"2014-05-09T16:21:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:45:22.705Z","description":"Rumors of her hiatus have been greatly exaggerated (sort of)","url":"https://time.com/94041/jennifer-lawrence-marie-claire-year-off/","keywords":["movies","celebrities","Hunger Games","Jennifer Lawrence","Pop Culture","Harvey Weinstein","X-Men"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1b3ddaa1758ff01f/69868ea8adae444ef0542fdc/jlaw.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lily Rothman","jobTitle":"Rothman is managing editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/lily-rothman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1b3ddaa1758ff01f/69868ea8adae444ef0542fdc/jlaw.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence","caption":"Jennifer Lawrence","creditText":"Robyn Beck / AFP / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/94041/jennifer-lawrence-marie-claire-year-off/","name":"Don't Worry, Jennifer Lawrence Isn't Really Taking a Year Off"}}]}] ```
