Jennifer Lawrence backtracks over ‘most disgusting secret’ after being asked repeatedly about personal hygiene

'I can't believe I've put myself in a situation where I even have to say this'

Jennifer Lawrence has made a rare appearance on her official Facebook page in a desperate attempt to clear up one claim that she couldn't bear to hear any longer.

Lawrence has participated in a number of interviews to promote her latest film, Mockingjay: Part 2. The actress is famously candid when talking to the press and each junket has inevitably produced a story afterwards, but there was one story that Lawrence is now rushing to clarify.

In a conversation with MTV, Lawrence claimed her most disgusting secret was not washing her hands after going to the toilet (which was followed by the admission that she sometimes urinates in sinks).

But the social-media shy actress has backtracked after being repeatedly asked about her personal hygiene during promotional interviews for the final installment of the Hunger Games saga.

In a rare video to quash concerns about her personal hygiene, Lawrence was filmed joking about not having to wash her hands because she used a bidet instead of a toilet.

In the caption, she also insisted her comments had been taken out of context and made it clear that any questions about her toilet habits were now banned.

From Jen!

I hate talking to the Internet but I can't get asked another question about my hygiene on this press tour. I told MTV I didn't wash my hands after going to the bathroom because I was trying to gross out Josh and Liam and I ended up grossing out the world. Of course I wash my hands after going to the bathroom! (I can't believe I've put myself in a situation where I even have to say that.) Anyway with all the rumors I've ever heard about myself this is the one I really had to put to rest. -Jen
