"Jane The Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez revealed she had felt she would become famous like Jennifer Lawrence after the Sundance premiere of her 2012 film "Filly Brown".
Rodriguez, 30, said she had hoped to emulate the career of the Oscar-winning actress but said it does not "look like that" happened, reported Female First.
"With 'Filly Brown', I thought, it's Sundance, and I'm going to be this 'It Girl', I'm going to be like Jennifer Lawrence. I was ready to play a superhero1 I'm ready to do this!
"And it didn't look like that. What you realise is you need to enjoy each experience and enjoy each project, and everything comes to an end. It's not about what that's supposed to lead to, it's not about what your career is then supposed to look like," Rodriguez said.
