Brie Larson narrated How Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence ''Saved My Life''

Brie Larson will be the first to accept the fact that sometimes you just need a friend or a few friends to help you get through with life.
The 27-year-old actress discloses the latest issue of Vanity Fair and  accept that she felt like she was losing her grip on the world until people like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence—who are now two of her best friends—entered her life.Emma Stone, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence
The moment came as Larson was busy promoting Room, feeling lonely in the nonstop chatter around the film and her role in it. "I felt lonely and bad sometimes," she told the publication. "I was ashamed to keep talking about myself." 
"Emma wrote this amazing e-mail out of nowhere, and then one day Jen sent me a text message after she saw Room, and we started talking," 
Larson recollected, revealing that the text ended up turning into a group support message with Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer.
"Brie Larson, Vanity FairThis group of friends saved my life," Larson admitted. "I talked with them about everything that was going on in my life, and it was with people who had been through it before and are also amusing."
She told us, "That support and acceptance was everything. I was home-schooled, so I did not have friends that had the same interests as me, and I found it to be incredible.
 Recently, Stone and Larson have bonded over back-to-back Best Actress Oscar wins—Larson for her role in Room in 2016 and Stone for her role in La La Land this year. 
When Larson was up for the great award, Stone made it a point to find her before the 2016 ceremony so She could give her a book called I Can Fly, an elephant totem for her purse and a good-luck card. "It is those little things," Larson recalled of the sweet gesture.
The kindness was reciprocated when Stone took home the Oscar earlier this year. Larson took to Instagram to share photo of the two women hugging and she wrote, "You know what is better than winning? Watching your friends win.



Meeting empowering women like Stone and Lawrence is likely one of the reasons Larson decided to take on Marvel Studio's first female-lead movie as Captain Marvel—a decision that did not come easy.
"It took me a really long time," she told VF about taking the role. "I had to sit and think about my life and what I want out of it. I could not deny the fact that this movie is all I care about, all that is progressive and important and meaningful, and a symbol I wished I would have had growing up. I really, really feel like it is worth it if it can bring understanding and confidence to young women—I will do it."
Larson said Marvel Studios has welcomed her opinions and ideas for the character as well.




"They have been very open to hearing my thoughts and my take on it, which has been very great," she said. "I feel that is why they cast me: I have a lot of alikeness to this character, and they want me to bring that into the movie."
Two strong, independent women breaking the mold of gender stereotypes in their two worlds ? Yeah, we think Larson has a hand on that.
