It's time for Jennifer Lawrence to make the media rounds—again. 

The three-time Oscar nominee is embarking on her latest media tour for her lead performance in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 as the series' iconic hero, Katniss Everdeen. While the Oscar winner is only 25 years old, her few years as an A-list Hollywood actress have been jam-packed with signature roles in so many films that her career easily rivals the resumes of veterans in the industry. 

With so much early success—at 23, she became the youngest actress to garner three Oscar nominations—and so many major motion pictures under her belt, Lawrence has easily become a media pro, having already endured whirlwind media tours for everything on her docket from the last three Hunger Games installments to American Hustle

Here's a look back at several of her now classic talk show appearances, ranging from her first ever appearance on The Tonight Show back when Jay Leno hosted to an equally candid much later appearance on Conan. While we grow nostalgic re-watching these now pivotal late-night moments in Lawrence's burgeoning career, we can only hope we see the same elements at play on her next media tour. 

This was Lawrence's first appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The young actress was visibly nervous, stumbling over her words and being endearingly honest as she overshared everything, even the mistakes she made in her head before uttering anything out loud.

While the public has come to truly love this candid element of her personality, we hope it takes center stage during her next appearances despite the fact that this is far from her first go-around. 

It's no secret that Lawrence enjoys breaking the fourth wall, especially when typically picture-perfect moments are involved. She's fallen all over the red carpet, stumbled on the stairs to accept her Oscar and she's been candid about the fact that although she often is a fashion magnet, she'd rather be wearing sweat pants and eating.

In this interview with Live! with Regis and Kelly, the actress is her usually honest self, but the unexpected hit moment comes when the hosts begin gawking over a photo of her in her first Oscar gown, to which she quickly replies, "ah photoshop." Though she is now the face of couture fashion house, Dior, we expect her to maintain the same level of fresh frankness when it comes to her looks as she has done in years past—because flaws are hotter anyway. 

Leave it to the American Hustle star to dish out the celebrity dirt. While A-list celebrities probably didn't want Lawrence revealing who hosts the swankiest Oscar party, the blond beauty had no qualms about poking fun at everyone in the industry starting with herself.

This interview was years ago, so we can only imagine the amount of industry gossip she's acquired since then. We only hope she kindly shares it with all of her beloved fans. 

We never thought we'd see the day where a blockbuster actress would admit to voluntarily wanting to become a hotel maid. For an industry notorious for high-maintenance divas, Lawrence appears to be quite the opposite, admitting that she would love to be a maid because it's her favorite type of cleaning and she'd be able to sneak through everyone's stuff.

If only we can get some more deeply personal revelations from the high-profile star this time around. 

Despite being a multi-million dollar actress with endless access to the best in the medical field, even Lawrence suffers from her share of medical mysteries. While most celebrities are less open about their physical ailments, Lawrence is willing to lay it all her personal business out on the table—even if it's David Letterman's table— and we applaud her for it because it reminds us that she is still very much human even if she gets to play a blue shapeshifter in X-Men. 

We would never wish bad health on Lawrence, but if she's currently suffering from a growing wisdom tooth or annoying hangnail, we kind of hope she shares. 

This clip perfectly sums up everything about Lawrence that has won over people's hearts, from poking major fun at her own fame to being game for virtually anything, from wearing a birthday party hat on national television to chugging champagne on the Oscars red carpet with Michael Strahan.

It's her overwhelmingly contagious enthusiasm that makes everything a lot more fun to watch and we can only hope she brings the same level of vigor along with her for her upcoming press tour.
