1. She
has been very upfront and outspoken about the film industries representation of
actresses as waif thin, instead promoting a strong, healthy look that young
girls can aspire to.
2. Unlike
most famous faces, who automatically dismiss their role model status, Jennifer
is very aware of the fact that young girls look to her as an influence,
particularly due to her portrayal of ‘Hunger Games’ heroine Katniss Everdeen.
She acknowledges that if she presented Katniss as a starving, emaciated girl,
audiences would potentially attempt to mimic her.
3. Despite
her rampant popularity (she most certainly is the ‘Girl on Fire’), Julia
Roberts has proclaimed that Jennifer is too cool and edgy to be an American
sweetheart.
4. She
gets overwhelmingly star struck when she encounters fellow famous people, such
as John Stamos, Justin Timberlake and Meryl Streep.
5. Jennifer
Lawrence has not attended a single acting or drama class. She did however hone
her skills in local theatre.
6. Lawrence
graduated two years early in order to initiate her film career. She clearly
still valued the importance of having an academic education to cushion her.
7. At
the tender age of 23, she already has an Oscar under her belt.
8. Jennifer
was initially reluctant to accept the role of Katniss, having seen the effect
of the huge success of the ‘Twilight’ series on lead star Kristen Stewart.
Fortunately, after mulling over the offer for several days, she decided to
accept.
9. For
her role in ‘Winters Bond’, Lawrence had to learn to chop wood, skin squirrels
and fight.
10. Unlike many stars, coerced into sexually
explicit scenarios to further their careers, Lawrence made the calculated
decision, after fearing that her roles to date had been too bleak and dowdy, to
jazz up her appearance in a sultry red dress at the Oscars and attending a
strategic GQ shoot. She was later offered the role of Mystique in the X Men
Franchise.
