Emma Stone Finds Inspiration in Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence goes for a walk with two gal pals on Wednesday (June 13) in Santa Monica, Calif.

Earlier in the week, the 21-year-old actress met up with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence just before news broke Philip Seymour Hoffman had been offered a role in the flick.

Emma Stone recently shared she was hesitant to sign on for The Amazing Spider-Man but found strength in Jennifer, a fellow blockbuster newcomer.

“I love Jennifer Lawrence and I watched a lot of her interviews for Hunger Games – it was kind of the same thing she was feeling,” she told Access Hollywood.

FYI: Jennifer is carrying a Rebecca Minkoff bag.
