Jennifer Lawrence says she's an ''ogre'' in high heels.

The 22-year-old star - who is five feet seven inches tall - said she is ''uncomfortable'' in the height-enhancing shoes, preferring more casual footwear.

She told Fabulous magazine: ''When I'm in high heels I feel like an ogre, I can't walk and my feet are uncomfortable.''

The 'Silver Linings Playbook' actress revealed she feels ''too dressed up'' in heels, which add to her relatively tall frame.

She admitted: ''I'm at that awkward height where I'm already kind of tall, so when I put heels on, everyone is like: 'Oh, well, where's the ball?'

''It's just that they make me look too dressed up and yeah, I'm terrible in heels.''

Jennifer also recently compared her appearances at award ceremonies with a scared ''chihuahua''.

She said: ''I'm afraid I'm going to go through my whole life being scared like a chihuahua.

''It's not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn't be heard just talking.

''So, when I'm doing movies, I'm really happy. That's where I'm comfortable, that's my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into chihuahua Jennifer.''
