From Jen!

I hate talking to the Internet but I can't get asked another question about my hygiene on this press tour. I told MTV I didn't wash my hands after going to the bathroom because I was trying to gross out Josh and Liam and I ended up grossing out the world. Of course I wash my hands after going to the bathroom! (I can't believe I've put myself in a situation where I even have to say that.) Anyway with all the rumors I've ever heard about myself this is the one I really had to put to rest. -Jen

Attention all self-proclaimed germaphobes: Jennifer Lawrence really does keep it clean in the hygiene department.

As the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 star travels the world in support of her new movie, the actress is explaining recent comments that caused some fans to squirm just a bit.

When sitting down with MTV's "After Hours," the cast was asked to reveal their most disgusting habits. Let's just say Lawrence was more than honest.

"My gross one is probably I don't wash my hands after I go to the bathroom," she explained. Liam Hemsworth added, "And then she likes to come back and literally put her hand all over your face."

For better or worse, some took the interview way too seriously leaving the actress compelled to set the record straight on Facebook.

On Monday afternoon, Lawrence filmed a short video where she was seen walking out of her bathroom in a white robe. When she decided to wash her hands, an unknown female alerted her that she was actually using a bidet.

"That's not a toilet?" she asked. "Oh, well I don't need to wash my hands." Zing!

Putting jokes aside, Lawrence assured fans that hygiene and washing hands is very important. In fact, her recent comments on MTV were all in good fun.

"I hate talking to the Internet but I can't get asked another question about my hygiene on this press tour. I told MTV I didn't wash my hands after going to the bathroom because I was trying to gross out Josh and Liam and I ended up grossing out the world," she wrote. "Of course I wash my hands after going to the bathroom! (I can't believe I've put myself in a situation where I even have to say that.)"

She concluded, "Anyway with all the rumors I've ever heard about myself this is the one I really had to put to rest. –Jen."
