After winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in “Room”, Brie Larson reveals fellow Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence gave her some tough advice.

The “Captain Marvel” star, 29, says she phoned Lawrence the morning after her win to ask for tips on dealing with all the attention from being in the spotlight. Lawrence – who won the Oscar in 2013 for “Silver Linings Playbook – had some sage advice for the actress after having been in the same position.

“I was like, ‘I don’t feel any different. I don’t feel better about myself. I still don’t feel like I’m a good actress,'” Larson tells InStyle. “She was like, ‘Oh, yeah. That’s totally normal. I’ve had the same thing. Don’t think of it like that. Think of it as, like, you got your Ph.D. You’re certified; that’s it.'”

“‘It doesn’t change anything,” Lawrence’s advice continued. “You can still f*** up. [You’re] still human.'”

Larson says her chat with Lawrence, 28, led her to continue accepting roles that she found meaningful – and that includes her latest role as Carol Danvers in “Captain Marvel”.

“She didn’t apologize for herself,” Larson explains about the character. “I felt like that was a really valuable trait, because she is incredibly flawed and makes a lot of mistakes… and has to ask to atone for them, and that is super valuable. She’s not ever shrinking herself down.”

For Larson, whose career has included roles in “Trainwreck”, “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”, “The Spectacular Now” and “Kong: Skull Island”, becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe provided a brand new opportunity in terms of sheer scale that the actress hadn’t been a part of up to this point.

“The movie was the biggest and best opportunity I could have ever asked for,” she says. “It was, like, my superpower. This could be my form of activism: doing a film that can play all over the world and be in more places that I can be physically.”

“Captain Marvel” lands in theatres on March 8.
