Jennifer Lawrence has been called out for blasting a foreign reporter, who read questions off his phone during the 'Golden Globes' Q and A with the star.

The 25-year-old star, who was awarded 'Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy' for her role in 'Joy', fielded a question from a reporter in attendance and interrupted him mid-sentence, reports news.com.au.

"You can't live your whole life behind your phone, bro," she scolded while wagging her finger.

The reporter, who appeared to have translated his question on his phone, then started to ask Lawrence how she sees herself for the upcoming Oscars, but she quickly shut him down saying that he would get his answer if he puts his phone down.

Later, many took to their social media handles to criticise the 'Hunger Games' star for being "culturally insensitive" and even for behaving "like an asshole" towards the reporter, whose first language did not appear to be English.
