"Jennifer Lawrence is just the most naturally hilarious person," she says. "She's way funnier than me and a real story-teller. If she was in a comedy she'd smash it. We'll hang out or have a barbecue. That's the cool thing about living in the US - you get to meet so many people you respect and work with."

Meanwhile, Rebel - who recently split from her How To Be Single co-star Micky Gooch Jr. - revealed she has been single for most of her life and likes being independent.

"I'm very independent and have been single for most of my life. I see people who are very co-dependent and I think they're missing out on life. It's good because I do whatever the hell I want," she told UK Cosmopolitan magazine.

"My mum really sacrificed her life when she started having us kids, and so she always encouraged us to go out there and chase after our dreams and live our lives. I'm hoping the right guy will come along.

"But if it doesn't happen I'm alright. I'm a very independent lady and I've got my own stuff going on."
