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.
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.

"This
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.
"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.
Two strong, independent women
breaking the mold of gender stereotypes in their two worlds ? Yeah, we think
Larson has a hand on that.
