“It has been a very interesting time,” he said about being quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m such an extrovert. I miss being out in the world because I just love people.”
Lawrence described Home & Family as the “best job in the world.” “I feel like I’ve spent 20 years to get to this place,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to do so many different TV shows. It’s an amazing job. You tune in to our home every day and we truly are a family. Our show is about giving our viewers something to make their day better from DIYs to beauty tips and we have the best chefs from all around the world.”
“Our viewers are so instrumental, so involved and so engaged. It’s an instant return,” he added. “I celebrate women of all shapes and sizes.”
Each day, Lawrence is motivated by his desire to make other people feel better. “I’ve been sober for almost 15 years and I am very proud of my sobriety,” he said. “I spend every day learning and listening. Every day I get to start my day over again. My parents gave me the foundation and now I learn how to live a great story.”
For hopefuls that wish to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, he said, “The business will tell you what it wants from you. I am in the entertainment business because I was listening. Everybody gets their shot, but you need to put in the work and the time, and you have to be something. As we are noticing in our current climate, everybody wants authenticity and everybody wants the real deal.”
He is the twin brother of Emmy-nominated actor Gregory Zarian. This year, Gregory is vying for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series” for his acting work in Venice: The Series. “Gregory earned his seat at that table. I couldn’t be more proud of him. He’s the ultimate example of ‘if you don’t believe in yourself, who will?’ Gregory is the best person I know. He is pretty amazing,” Lawrence said.
Lawrence equates success with hard work. “Life is like a school. We are continually learning, growing, and changing,” he said. “We are blessed to do what we love. We should always strive to do better.”
For his fans and supporters, Lawrence concluded, “Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for believing in me and for trusting me to show you things that hopefully make you feel beautiful. It’s not the designer you wear, it’s what you wear that makes you feel something. Clothing is an instant feeling. When I have a date, I will always wear my John Varvatos boots and my WAX jeans because they make me feel sexy. Those boots make me feel confident and grounded.”
