Jennifer Lawrence has quite a fan in none other than Julia Roberts!

During an interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz, Roberts was asked what she thought about the Hunger Games star being the newest inductee in the "very elite group of America's Sweethearts." You know, technically speaking of course.

The August: Osage County star replied, "She shoots flaming arrows. Is this a new cupid tactic?"

Horowitz then asked, "So you obviously were not voting yes in the club and you didn't want to admit her?"

But worry not, J.Law fans, Roberts sort of clarified her previous comment and said that she's a fan for the young Oscar winner.

"My card is expired and I didn't get a new one…I think she's fabulous, but she doesn't seem…she seems cooler than [America's Sweetheart]," Roberts explained.

The journalist and star went back and forth questioning whether Lawrence is "too cool" or "too edgy" to be considered a part of the prestigious pack of Hollywood ladies.

"We've come to a standstill," Roberts said while laughing. "This is a trainwreck."

It looks like we can now add the Pretty Woman actress to the long, long list of famous faces who adore Lawrence.

Everyone from her Silver Linings Playbook costar Bradley Cooper to Channing Tatum has previously gushed about how big of fans they are.
