Actress Jennifer Lawrence says she can relate to her "Hunger Games" alter ego Katniss Everdeen because she understands how hard it can be getting recognised in public.

The 23-year-old actress was catapulted into the spotlight with her role as leading lady Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games".

In the film's sequel "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", Lawrence's character fictional alter-ego also becomes famous in her hometown, reported Daily Mirror.

"There is the connection in that she doesn't feel like she's part of town anymore. Now everyone treats her like a celebrity.

"Whereas she still feels like she's part of them. I get that a lot. I'll go and get a coffee where I always get coffee and all of a sudden there's this weird mood, and I'm like 'Come on, I still get coffee here, just say hello'," Lawrence said.
