Some take it in stride, while others will fight tooth and nail to get the flashing cameras away from their children. As for No Hard Feelings star Jennifer Lawrence, she was convinced she’d be angry and chase off the paps, but instead, she revealed she’s a parent that takes it in stride. And her reason for it is quite sweet!

“I was just like, ‘How the f**k am I not going to lose it on these guys when they’re taking a picture of my baby?’” Lawrence said in a recent interview with Interview Magazine. “Then once he was here, I realized that my energy is more important to him than anything else.
