One downside of fame is having limited privacy, and actress Jennifer Lawrence, 24, learned this the hard way. Over the Labor Day weekend, Lawrence became one of dozens of celebrity victims of an iCloud hack that leaked private photos online.

Lawrence's privacy was seriously challenged after photos of her wearing no clothes were distributed over several websites, including 4Chan and Reddit.

On Saturday, the actress sat down for an interview with AP to promote her latest film, 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' and recalled paparazzi encounters that were of distaste to her.

"I didn't know that I would feel anxiety every time I open my front door, or that being chased by 10 men you don't know, or being surrounded, feels invasive and makes me feel scared and gets my adrenaline going every day," said Lawrence in the interview as reported by Fox News.

"I have photographers that jump my fence ... if somebody jumps my fence and takes a picture through my window of me naked, that's illegal, but the photos can still be everywhere (online) the next day, and that makes no sense!" added the celebrity.

Lawrence mentioned that the public cares less about the welfare of celebrities being bugged by the paparazzi because they are public figures and that they make lots of money.

Since the photo leaks, Lawrence has spoken to Vanity Fair, calling the invasion of her privacy a "sex crime" rather than a cybercrime.
