Before Jennifer Lawrence was shooting arrows, she was playing a broken-hearted heroine in a Shakespeare play.

The 24-year-old Oscar winner played Desdemona in Shakespeare's "Othello" in high school, and CNN released the footage to prove it.

Watch the clip below and try not to expect Lawrence to pull out a bow and arrow.
