AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT LAWRENCE:

When I was a teenager I was cast in a couple of Disney films. The first one I was a background extra, but the second film I was cast as a featured bully. The morning of the shoot I fell terribly ill and couldn’t do it. I had to pull out of the movie and put my Hollywood aspirations on hold!
