Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence recently realized that regular people generally do not care what celebrities say about politics and will not vote a certain way because someone famous urges them to.
The leftist actress said as much during an episode of “The Interview” podcast, when the host mentioned a 2016 op-ed she wrote criticizing Donald Trump after he was first elected, and asked whether she wanted to speak about the president’s current policies.
“I don’t really know if I should,” Lawrence replied. “The first Trump administration was so wild, and just how can we let this stand? I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off.”
“But as we’ve learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I’m just sharing my opinion on something that’s going to add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart. We are so divided,” she went on.

The “Hunger Games” star went on to discuss more effective ways of advancing her political opinions.
“I think I’m in a complicated recalibration because I’m also an artist,” Lawrence continued. “With this temperature and the way things can turn out, I don’t want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don’t like my political opinions. I want to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I’m doing. And if I can’t say something that’s going to speak to some kind of peace or lowering the temperature or some sort of solution, I don’t want to be a part of the problem.”

“I try to express my politics through my work,” she explained. “A lot of movies coming out from my production company are expressions of the political landscape and that’s how I feel like I can be helpful.”
Lawrence has criticized Trump multiple times over the years and voiced support for the Women’s March, which was inspired by opposition to Trump.
Like most other major celebrities, Lawrence endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in 2024, <a href="https://people.com/jennifer-lawrence-endorses-kamala-harris-womens-rights-documentaries-exclusive-8717082">telling</a> People magazine at the time that she mostly made that choice because of “abortion being on the ballot.”
“That&#8217;s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion,” she said at the time.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence is currently promoting a movie that explores some darker aspects of motherhood, but the 34-year-old mom of two had positive things to say about her real-life experience.
A reporter asked the cast of “Die, My Love” during a press conference at Cannes Film Festival: “Considering that ego is a big part of an actor’s career, and you’ve been in the spotlight for a long time, how did the birth of the children change your perspective on your career and about what is really important in life?” 
Lawrence jumped in with her answer, saying, “Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. It’s brutal and incredible. Not only do they go into every decision of, if I’m working, where I’m working, when I’m working…they’ve taught me… I didn’t know that I could feel so much,” the Academy Award-winning actress replied, per <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/jennifer-lawrence-lynne-ramsay-die-my-love-cannes-interview.html">Vulture</a>.
Lawrence continued, saying, “My job has a lot to do with emotion, and they’ve opened up the world to me. It’s almost like feeling like a blister or something. So sensitive. So they’ve changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they’ve changed me creatively.” 
“I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor,” she quipped.
Her co-star Robert Pattinson, who recently had his first child with actress Suki Waterhouse, also weighed in on the topic. He said, “I think in the most unexpected way, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration afterwards.” 
“Die, My Love” is a psychological drama about a woman (Lawrence) living in rural Montana who grapples with postpartum depression, violent impulses, and a loss of identity following the birth of her child. Pattinson co-stars as her clueless husband while Sissy Spacek plays her mother-in-law.
Lawrence, who just gave birth to her second child earlier this year, doesn’t usually discuss her personal life. The actress was five months pregnant during filming.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kylie-jenner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner</a> shut down plastic surgery rumors and asked how people could compare the face she had when she was 12 years old to the one she has now.
In a cover story for <a href="https://www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/kylie-jenner-interviewed-by-jennifer-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Interview magazine</a>, actress Jennifer Lawrence and the 26-year-old reality TV star talked about being accused of having work done to change their facial appearance despite both crediting the changes to aging and makeup.
Lawrence said, &#8220;It&#8217;s incredible what makeup can do because I work with Hung [Vanngo], who overlines the lip, and I call him a plastic surgeon, because everybody in the last few months since I&#8217;ve been working with him is convinced that I had eye surgery.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I didn&#8217;t have eye surgery. I&#8217;m doing makeup,&#8221; she added.
Jenner said it&#8217;s amazing what makeup can do before admitting she &#8220;did end up getting lip fillers.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ll see before and after photos when I&#8217;m 12 years old versus 26 and my eyebrows are filled differently,&#8221; Jenner said. &#8220;I have contour on. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;How can you compare my 12-year-old face and say I&#8217;ve gotten my jaw shaved and eyelids removed?&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;What are we talking about?'&#8221;
Lawrence agreed and said that she has had to deal with the same thing after coming into the spotlight at such a young age.
&#8220;I started at 19, so I get the before and after pictures from when I&#8217;m 19 to 30 and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I&#8217;m aging,&#8221; the &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; star said.

&#8220;Everybody thought I had a nose job, and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I&#8217;ve had the exact same nose. My cheeks got smaller. Thank you for bringing it up,'&#8221; she added.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://people.com/kylie-jenner-regrets-getting-breasts-done-7565553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenner</a> expressed regret for going under the knife for breast augmentation when she was younger before having her two children.
&#8220;I wish I never got them done to begin with,&#8221; Jenner said. &#8220;[I] recommend anyone thinking about it to wait after children.&#8221;
In the same interview,  she admitted she&#8217;d be &#8220;heartbroken&#8221; if her daughter Stormi decided to get cosmetic surgery in her teenage years as she did.

‘How Can You Compare My 12-Year-Old Face?’: Kylie Jenner Shuts Down Plastic Surgery Rumors

'How Can You Compare My 12-Year-Old Face?': Kylie Jenner Shuts Down Plastic Surgery Rumors

Plastic Surgery

Reality TV

Imagine you’re the head of Mattel, and you’re hoping the new “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reviewers-barbie-movie-is-a-deeply-feminist-adventure-thats-poking-fun-at-the-patriarchy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie</a>” movie sends your toy sales skyrocketing.
And then you hear this line of dialogue about the iconic doll:
<blockquote>You represent everything wrong with our culture. You destroyed the planet with your glorification of rampant consumerism &#8230; you fascist!</blockquote>
Suddenly, the “Barbie” tie-ins got a little more… complicated. And that’s before the movie skewers both Mattel, Inc. and its fictional CEO (Will Ferrell).
This is hardly new from La La Land, a business where income inequality isn’t a bug. It’s the feature every ingenue craves. You’d think industry executives might avoid that awkward anti-capitalist messaging at all costs (much like how climate change activists fear their private jet addictions will be exposed).
And you’d be flat-out wrong.
Modern films go out of their way to smite the rich and decry income inequality. The stars inhabiting those films just so happen to be among the richest stars in the Hollywood galaxy.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
The “Barbie” film goes out of its way to not only trash consumerism, but the titular toy. And a vital character even suggests we stop buying these “fascist” dolls of flawless white women. Yes, that’s another word taken directly from the script to describe the plastic doll.
This summer features another big-budget comedy with the wealthy in its crosshairs.
The Jennifer Lawrence comedy “No Hard Feelings” finds the Oscar-winner smiting the rich early and often. She plays a bitter, broke woman named Maggie who decides to sleep with a younger man for a quick payday, courtesy of a wealthy couple who can buy just about anything.
Gross, right?
Not to Maggie. She’d rather do that than be part of the capitalist system. Lawrence’s character spends serious screen time trashing the rich. She’s drowning in debt and resents the wealthy Long Island residents keeping the local economy humming.
Her moral compass is pure, or at least she thinks it is.
Maggie all but spits in a wealthy bar customer’s face early in the film. His crime? He’s rich, and he asked for a drink minutes before the bar officially opened.
None of this was an accident. Director Gene Stupnitsky says he <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/jennifer-lawrence-no-hard-feelings-raunchy-comedy-beach-scene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embraced the anti-wealthy angle</a> to add gravitas to the story, hoping it wouldn’t overwhelm the narrative.
The ultimate irony? The aggressively liberal Lawrence fought hard to snag a <a href="https://screenrant.com/no-hard-feelings-jennifer-lawrence-salary/#:~:text=Jennifer%20Lawrence%27s%20No%20Hard%20Feelings%20Salary%20Was%20Reportedly%20%2425%20Million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multi-million dollar paycheck</a> to star in the film. Did she fight just as hard to make sure her co-stars got an equally large paycheck, or at least one larger than the studio initially offered? Talk about income inequality! So much privilege.
Last year saw two celebrated films similarly assault the rich.
The superior film “The Menu” featured Ralph Fiennes as a chef who invites wealthy diners to savor his revolutionary cuisine. The assorted guests, including far-left actor John Leguizamo, are portrayed as mostly shallow souls eager to climb the societal ladder.
The chef has more on his mind than keeping the dishes fresh and warm, and the story soon takes a horrific turn.
The mockery is relentless, although the film proved one of the sturdier awards season entries and didn’t get lost in its agenda.
The same can’t be said for “Triangle of Sadness,” the Best Picture nominee that scorches the elite early and often. The film’s first half is brilliant, and even Donald Trump might chuckle at its social X-ray of the fatuous elites.
A group of ultra-wealthy souls gather for an extravagant cruise, but they’re left to fend for themselves when a storm overwhelms the boat.
The moment Woody Harrelson enters the frame as the ship’s combative captain, sadly, the film’s agenda overwhelms the story. The satire’s second half is a dud with income inequality notes and a storytelling detour that sinks the initially impressive tale.
Conservatives rallied around Harrelson for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woody-harrelson-said-he-wasnt-fazed-by-backlash-from-snl-monologue-i-dont-look-at-that-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defying COVID-19 groupthink</a>, but hearing the ultra-wealthy star praise socialism in the film may be tough to swallow.
HBO’s “The White Lotus” series similarly deconstructs how the rich and famous spend their leisure time. Show creator Mike White does so with a gimlet eye for hypocrisy and a greater sense of cultural balance. He’s willing to torch the rich while mocking those who attack them without earning their slice of the financial pie.
The show’s first season showcases embittered Gen Z types — Olivia Mossbacher (Sydney Sweeney) and her pal Paula (Brittany O’Grady) — as they smirk their way through paradise.
Do they appreciate the sacrifices the Mossbachers made to get them to Maui or the endless work that gave them the chance for a once-in-a-lifetime trip like this? Of course not.
The two have little empathy for anyone other than themselves. Later in the season, Paula cracks the parents’ safe to help a resort worker, but it hardly feels like a charitable move.
The best “eat the rich” satire in recent memory may be HBO’s just-wrapped “Succession.” The celebrated drama showed the rich and famous brawling over power, fame, and family dynamics. The show drew near-universal acclaim despite its not-so-veiled attack on families like the conservative-leaning Murdoch clan.
Hollywood understandably loves to tweak the rich. Heck, many elites bring it on themselves, and great writers have famously toyed with excess in profound ways. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” rushes to mind.
It’s far less agreeable when an industry renowned for excess not only mocks it, but does so sans irony.
Sometimes, though, screenwriters still get it right.

During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lawrence-clarifies-first-female-led-action-hero-remarks-following-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">32-year-old actress&#8217;</a> appearance on &#8220;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6C9jxg9Of5v8oftOzhR1oD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Rewatchables podcast with Bill Simmons</a>,&#8221; Lawrence said she auditioned for Bella Swan and &#8220;immediately&#8221; got turned down, noting how different her life would&#8217;ve been if she had.
The <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/twilight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actress said</a> she didn&#8217;t get a callback for the role that ended up going to Kristen Stewart. However, a year later, she got the part of Katniss Everdeen in &#8220;The Hunger Games,&#8221; a role that made her a worldwide celebrity.
&#8220;My life would&#8217;ve been totally different,&#8221; Lawrence said. &#8220;I mean, the work is still the same because I felt similar when I was doing &#8216;Hunger Games.'&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&#8220;I have to churn out movies in between so that I&#8217;m not only known for this franchise,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I was still in a franchise, so I was still trying to counteract the franchise-ness, and I would still be doing that if I was in Twilight.&#8221;
The &#8220;Silver Linings Playbook&#8221; star admitted she almost didn&#8217;t take the Katniss role because she feared the fandom connected to such a massive franchise.
&#8220;It was so hard to explain to people,&#8221; Lawrence said. &#8220;It was like I don&#8217;t think you understand this level of fame … I just assumed it was gonna be like &#8216;Twilight,&#8217; like the Twilight-level fame, and that was just never something I had in mind.&#8221;

&#8220;I wanted to do indies, and I wanted to do good films, but I didn&#8217;t want to be the most famous person on the planet,&#8221; she added, noting she would have been &#8220;miserable&#8221; if she had gotten &#8220;Twilight.&#8221; &#8220;That&#8217;s a very different life than what I had pictured for myself.&#8221;
Fans of the dystopian &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; franchise will soon get to see the backstory of how Coriolanus Snow becomes the tyrannical evil president of Panem when &#8220;<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hunger-games-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes-full-trailer-1235199988/">The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes</a>&#8220; hits the big screen in November. It is set decades before Lawrence&#8217;s character faced off with Snow in the hit movie franchise.
The actress recently revealed that she&#8217;d definitely be interested in reprising the role should the opportunity arise.
&#8220;Oh, my God – totally!&#8221; Lawrence told <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/columns/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-katniss-1235639150/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a>. &#8220;If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 percent.&#8221;

&#8220;When Miley Cyrus&#8217; song &#8216;Flowers&#8217; debuted, there was a lot of talk that the music video – I know, the audience is already responding to this,&#8221; Cohen laughed as chatter came from the studio audience. &#8220;Okay, there was already a lot of talk that the music video was referencing a secret fling that you had with Liam Hemsworth while he was with Miley Cyrus —&#8221;
&#8220;Not true!&#8221; Lawrence interrupted before Cohen even had the chance to ask, &#8220;Can you please respond to this?&#8221;
&#8220;I would love to,&#8221; Lawrence said, repeating, &#8220;Not true, total rumor. We all know me and Liam, like, kissed one time. It was years after they broke up, so I just assumed that [the gold dress] was, like, a coincidence.&#8221;
&#8220;Thank you for clearing that up,&#8221; Cohen said, after which Lawrence turned to the audience and asked, &#8220;Are you satisfied?&#8221;
The music video featured Cyrus in a gold dress, sparking the rumor that the former Disney star had chosen the dress as a callback to the gold dress Lawrence had worn to the 2012 Los Angeles premiere of &#8220;The Hunger Games&#8221; — the movie in which she had co-starred with Hemsworth.
Lawrence did credit her &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; costar with helping her develop better negotiating skills and learn to stand up for herself.

Liam is always fair, he is always kind, he is always strong. He’s teaching me to toughen up a little bit, and it’s important. I need that.&#8221;

Jennifer Lawrence Was Accused Of Cheating With Miley Cyrus' Ex-Husband — Here's What She Says Happened

Miley Cyrus

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Lawrence</a> said she feels strongly about other <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professionals</a> who employ “method acting” to prepare for a role.
“I would be nervous to work with someone who’s method [acting],” the 32-year-old star said during an interview with “Hot Ones,” <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jennifer-lawrence-nervous-work-method-actors-1235522162/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per</a> The Hollywood Reporter. “Because I would have no idea how to talk to them, ’cause like, do I have to be in character? That would just make me nervous.”
The star of the new comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">No Hard Feelings</a>” described her personal approach to getting into character, which she says comes from another famous Hollywood star.
“I had always been very on/off, on/off until I did ‘American Hustle’ and worked with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christian-bale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Bale</a>, who I noticed when the camera started rolling and the crew started preparing and it would be about 10 seconds to action, he [Bale] would start getting ready,” Lawrence said. “I saw that and was like, ‘That seems like a really good idea.’ So then I started to do that.”
Interestingly, Bale is well-known in Hollywood for being considered a method actor, despite denying that he is one. &#8220;You know, people call me that. And I don&#8217;t even really know what it is,&#8221; Bale told <a href="https://www.unilad.com/features/christian-bale-pale-blue-eye-method-actor-944186-20230105" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNILAD</a>. &#8220;I just kind of wing it.&#8221;
&#8220;Method actors study method acting. I&#8217;ve never studied any acting at all,” the “Dark Knight” star continued. “I just don&#8217;t want to offend true method actors. I just do whatever I do. I don&#8217;t know what it is.&#8221;

Some examples of Bale’s commitment include gaining more than 40 pounds for his role in “American Hustle” and losing 63 pounds to play a chronic insomnia sufferer in the 2004 thriller “The Machinist.”
Method acting has been the subject of debate in the Hollywood community for a while. David Harbour of “Stranger Things” fame said he once contemplated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stranger-things-actor-considered-killing-a-cat-for-method-acting-realism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing a cat</a> so he could know what murder felt like ahead of his role in a stage production of “Macbeth.” Marvel star Andrew Garfield <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marvel-star-says-he-starved-himself-of-sex-and-food-to-get-ready-for-movie-role" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he starved himself of “sex and food” to prepare for the role of a 17th-century Jesuit priest in “Silence” in 2016.

Lawrence joined a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/jennifer-lawrence-michelle-yeoh-actress-roundtable-1235282817/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hollywood Reporter roundtable</a> discussion that also included Danielle Deadwyler, Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Williams, Emma Corrin, and Claire Foy — and the group addressed a number of topics from how sexual abuse and trauma are portrayed in film to how far they would go to convince a director they wanted a specific part.
&#8220;When &#8216;Winter’s Bone&#8217; turned me down, they were doing L.A. casting that I went to, and they were like, &#8216;No, thank you,'&#8221; Lawrence recalled. &#8220;And then, they opened up casting in New York, and I flew to New York and just reentered like a stranger.&#8221;
Lawrence&#8217;s gamble payed off, and she eventually got the role — which she and the others agreed may have been in part because the directors were convinced she&#8217;d work harder because she&#8217;d shown that she really wanted it. &#8220;Maybe they were just scared at that point, and they were like, &#8216;OK.'&#8221;
But then the conversation turned to what it was like working with women at the helm of film projects — and Lawrence, who both produced and acted in &#8220;Causeway,&#8221; weighed in on that as well.
&#8220;It was just so interesting to be on a female-led movie. My producing partner and I were the lead producers. We had a female director [Lila Neugebauer],&#8221; she said. &#8220;The schedule made sense. There were no huge fights. If an actor had a personal thing and wanted to leave early, instead of going, &#8216;Oh! Well, we’d all love to leave early!&#8217; we’d put our heads together and go, &#8216;OK. How can we figure this out?'&#8221;
Lawrence went on to say that she didn&#8217;t mean to suggest that everyone agreed on every little thing — only that she believed disagreements were addressed in a more productive fashion when women were leading the discussion.
&#8220;We disagreed, and we listened to each other. Sometimes I was wrong and would learn that I was wrong, and sometimes I was right. It was incredible to not be around toxic masculinity. To get a little break from it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it did always just make us laugh about how we ended up with, &#8216;Women shouldn’t be in roles like this because we’re so emotional.&#8217; I mean, I’ve worked with Bryan Singer. I’ve seen emotional men. I’ve seen the biggest hissy fits thrown on set. [Neugebauer’s] my third female director, and they are the calmest, best decision-makers I’ve ever worked with. I absolutely love working with female directors.&#8221;

Hollywood A-Lister Claims Male Directors Throw ‘The Biggest Hissy Fits’

Hollywood A-Lister Jennifer Lawrence Claims Male Directors Throw 'The Biggest Hissy Fits'

Jennifer Lawrence clarified her earlier remarks when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lawrence-claims-nobody-had-ever-put-a-woman-in-the-lead-of-an-action-movie-before-hunger-games-theres-just-one-problem-with-that">falsely claimed</a> to be the first female led-action hero in &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; in 2012 following the backlash over her comments and said that &#8220;it came out wrong.&#8221;
During an interview with the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jennifer-lawrence-female-led-action-films-1235278203/">Hollywood Reporter</a> on Thursday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lawrence">32-year-old actress</a> said when she said &#8220;nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie&#8221; prior to her landing the role of Katniss Everdeen in the hit dystopian movie, it wasn&#8217;t what she meant.
&#8220;That&#8217;s certainly not what I meant to say at all,&#8221; Lawrence explained. &#8220;I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film. What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels.&#8221;
&#8220;And I meant that with Viola [Davis]— to blow past these old myths that you hear about … about the chatter that you would hear around that kind of thing,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But it was my blunder and it came out wrong. I had nerves talking to a living legend.&#8221;

Davis, did not push back against the claim, as the actress went on to say that it makes her so happy &#8220;every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they&#8217;ve always been in.&#8221;
Twitter users slammed the actress, noting all the famous female stars who had landed lead action roles for decades before Lawrence did, citing Sigourney Weaver in 1986&#8217;s &#8220;Aliens,&#8221; Angelina Jolie in 2001&#8217;s &#8220;Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,&#8221; and Uma Thurman in 2003&#8217;s &#8220;Kill Bill: Volume 1,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lawrence-facing-backlash-after-claiming-she-was-first-lead-female-action-hero-variety-deletes-tweet">reported</a>.

“Causeway” European Premiere – 66th BFI London Film Festival

Jennifer Lawrence Clarifies First Female Led-Action Hero Remarks Following Backlash

Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence is facing backlash after she falsely claimed that &#8220;nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie” prior to 2012’s &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; — and Variety has since deleted its tweet in which she made that claim.
During a <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/features/jennifer-lawrence-viola-davis-action-heroes-motherhood-1235451405/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> Actors on Actors interview, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lawrence'" target="_blank" rel="noopener">32-year-old</a> actress claimed she was the first woman ever to be cast in the lead role of an action film when she landed the part of Katniss Everdeen in the 2012 hit dystopian movie, which was not true, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lawrence-claims-nobody-had-ever-put-a-woman-in-the-lead-of-an-action-movie-before-hunger-games-theres-just-one-problem-with-that" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;I remember when I was doing &#8216;Hunger Games,&#8217; nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn&#8217;t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,&#8221; Lawrence claimed.
Lawrence spoke with fellow actress Viola Davis, who did not push back against the claim.
Twitter users slammed the actress, noting all the famous female stars who had landed lead action roles for decades before Lawrence did, citing Sigourney Weaver in 1986’s “Aliens,” Angelina Jolie in 2001&#8217;s &#8220;Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,&#8221; and Uma Thurman in 2003’s “Kill Bill: Volume 1.”
One Twitter user <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/now/jennifer-lawrence-faces-backlash-claiming-190847716.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, &#8220;She [Lawrence] can&#8217;t even really argue there was a regression before Hunger Games because female led action movies actually THRIVED in the 2000s with HUGE budgets. Franchises &amp; movie stars were made. Angelina, Uma, Lucy, Cameron, Drew, Milla, Kate etc. Without them she wouldn&#8217;t be here.&#8221;
&#8220;Sure glad nobody ever told that to Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton or Uma Thurman. They&#8217;d be pretty upset,&#8221; another user <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/07/jennifer-lawrence-roasted-for-saying-she-was-1st-woman-action-lead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a>.
While another wrote, &#8220;Oh Jennifer, I love you like crazy, but did you never see any movies at all before you were hired for &#8216;Hunger Games&#8217;? I know there are some actors who never go to movies (Bob Hoskins was one, he never watched movies) but I would have thought you would have heard of, say, &#8216;Kill Bill.’”
Not long after, people noticed that Variety had deleted the tweet that included Lawrence&#8217;s false claim.
One person wrote, &#8220;Over in Hollywood, [Variety] deleted a tweet that highlighted a quote from actress Jennifer Lawrence. It was so untrue, that is brought a swarm of criticism. Not sure why Variety deleted it.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/jimstinson/status/1600579176599273489?s=20&#038;t=78_HppIeuqi9yK0d0E9KaA
Another person shared, &#8220;lol, Variety deleted the tweet because the Jennifer Lawrence quote was getting dragged so hard.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/HashtagGriswold/status/1600544536568250378?s=20&#038;t=78_HppIeuqi9yK0d0E9KaA
At the time of this publication, neither Variety magazine or Lawrence had responded to any of the claims.

Jennifer Lawrence said that before &#8220;Hunger Games,&#8221; no one &#8220;had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie.&#8221; But there&#8217;s just one problem with that. It&#8217;s not true.
During <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/features/jennifer-lawrence-viola-davis-action-heroes-motherhood-1235451405/">Variety&#8217;s</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05EhMqgUpME">Actors on Actors</a> interview, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lawrence">32-year-old actress</a> claimed she was the first woman ever to be cast in the lead role of an action film when she landed the part of Katniss Everdeen in the 2012 hit dystopian movie.

For as far back as the 1980s, many women have landed action hero lead roles, such as sci-fi action heroes like Linda Hamilton in the monster 1984 hit &#8220;The Terminator,&#8221; and Sigourney Weaver in &#8220;Aliens&#8221; in 1986.
There were also female action stars like Bridget Fonda in 1993&#8217;s &#8220;Point of No Return,&#8221; and Geena Davis in &#8220;The Long Kiss Goodnight&#8221; in 1996. Not to mention actresses such as Angelina Jolie in 2001&#8217;s &#8220;Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,&#8221; Uma Thurman in &#8220;Kill Bill: Volume 1&#8221; in 2003, and Milla Jovovich in &#8220;Resident Evil&#8221; that same year.
At one point in the interview, Lawrence also discussed how her career has changed since becoming a mother while making her new movie &#8220;Causeway.&#8221;
&#8220;I made the movie right before I got married,&#8221; the actress shared. &#8220;And then we had the pandemic. Two years later, I&#8217;m pregnant, we go back, and we make the rest of it. It was the scariest thing in the entire world to think about making a family. What if I f*** up? What if I can&#8217;t do it? And I was so scared that I would f*** it up. And it was so interesting to make a movie where I&#8217;m feeling so scared and feeling this mirrored in Lynsey.&#8221;
&#8220;Every day of being a mom, I feel awful. I feel guilty,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I&#8217;m playing with him and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Is this what he wants to be doing? Should we be outside? We&#8217;re outside. What if he&#8217;s cold? What if he&#8217;s going to get sick? Should we be inside? Is this enough? Is this developing your brain enough?&#8221;

Jennifer Lawrence Claims 'Nobody Had Ever Put A Woman In The Lead Of An Action Movie' Before 'Hunger Games' - There's Just One Problem With That

Women

Remember Jennifer Lawrence?
No, not the 32-year-old star of AppleTV+’s “Causeway,” another Oscar-bait film released during awards season.
We know all about her.
We mean the young star of “Winter’s Bone,” the indie drama that made her a star at the ripe old age of 20. She dazzled, again, in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” netting a Best Actress Oscar for her performance.
And, famously<a href="https://people.com/movies/jennifer-lawrence-confronted-anderson-cooper-after-he-claimed-she-faked-her-viral-oscars-fall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, she took a spill</a> while en route to the Oscars podium in 2013 to collect her trophy.
The Kentucky native’s interviews gave audiences the impression she was just a heartland gal whose beauty and talent forged her ticket to Hollywood. She earned another Oscar nomination a year later for “American Hustle,” and her star status came with a certificate of authenticity.
Would fame and fortune change Lawrence, dubbed in select press circles <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/jennifer-lawrence-netflix-america-s-sweetheart-upcoming-films-career-hunger-games-a9547846.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“America’s Sweetheart”</a> for her aw-shucks appeal (she once played on her school’s all-boy basketball squad)? Or might the industry’s hard-Left status make her into yet another progressive star weighing in on the latest Beltway shenanigans?
The actress who once said she didn’t “<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/11/jennifer-lawrence-on-love-fame-boundaries-and-dont-look-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">want to be a douchebag</a>” took a nastier turn once a certain real estate mogul took an infamous escalator ride in 2015.
Lawrence reacted to Donald Trump’s presidential run as aggressively as any of her peers. She vowed <a href="https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to throw a martini</a> in the mogul’s face if their paths ever crossed.
This “Sweetheart” sounded just like her peers. Slowly, Lawrence <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/politics-are-killing-people-jennifer-lawrence-said-shes-feuding-with-conservative-family-over-abortion-gun-control" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaned into her progressive beliefs</a> but took matters one step further.
She started throwing people under the bus. And it started, naturally, with the GOP.
In 2021 <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jennifer-lawrence-radical-wing-republicans-voting-restrictions-psa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence aligned with the group RepresentUs</a> to push the so-called For the People Act targeting voting rules.
<blockquote>Whatever your personal politics are, whatever side of the aisle you find yourself on, you need to know that your vote matters and the outcome of our elections are not maneuvered and manipulated. In Texas, Georgia and Florida and 44 other states, there’s a radical wing of the Republican Party that is actively dismantling America’s right to vote because they don’t have the numbers to win otherwise.</blockquote>
In her 2022 Vogue interview she attacked Republican voters, again, but this time they had company — <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/jennifer-lawrence-october-cover-2022-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the actress’ parents</a>.
<blockquote>I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and my family and try to understand: It’s different. The information they are getting is different. Their life is different… I’ve tried to get over it and I really can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry I’m just unleashing, but I can’t f*** with people who aren’t political anymore. You live in the United States of America. You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people.</blockquote>
She doubled down on her parents in a separate interview, courtesy of Vanity Fair. She uses MSNBC-style verbiage to attack family members for <a href="https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/2021/12/01/a-happy-new-year?utm_brand=vf&amp;utm_social-type=owned&amp;mbid=social_twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">being part of MAGA nation</a>.
<blockquote>It’s wild to disagree on things you thought you would never…there’s no way we’re going to disagree on this in 2021. White supremacy. Attacking the Capitol. Nazis being the bad guys. Or just, science. I don’t know.</blockquote>
To be clear, the Oscar winner just suggested her parents support the January 6 riot, Nazism and white supremacy. Those labels are commonplace in far-Left circles, but they’re usually applied to generic, faceless Republicans by rhetorical bomb throwers on MSNBC.
Lawrence puts a very familiar face on those accusations. Her parents’ faces.
Now, those tribal battles are happening across America, sadly. Most people don’t have access to glossy magazine features to spill their personal dirt, though. And, if they did, they’d likely keep such skirmishes to themselves.
Not Lawrence, apparently. She’s not done with trashing things, though. More recently she’s targeted her own IMDB.com page.
She shares a story about a <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/jennifer-lawrence-adele-warned-passengers-flop-1235420909/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">famous singer cautioning her against making “Passengers,</a>” a sci-fi disappointment from 2016 co-starring Chris Pratt.
<blockquote>Adele told me not to do it! She was like, “I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.” I should have listened to her.</blockquote>
It’s worth noting actors are reticent to trash their own films, with rare exceptions like George Clooney repeatedly mocking his own contributions to 1997’s flop “Batman &amp; Robin.” It can burn bridges with collaborators, for starters. It’s also insulting to the cast and crew, all of whom assembled in a good faith effort to make a fine movie. (It just doesn’t always turn out that way).
Here’s betting Pratt is less than eager to reteam with Lawrence moving forward.
The actress recently <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jennifer-lawrence-passengers-regrets-parted-with-caa-1235254027/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piled on her former talent agency</a>, CAA, charging it didn’t send personal-sized projects her way.
<blockquote>I found out that a lot of filmmakers that I really loved and admired had scripts that weren’t even reaching me.</blockquote>
Now, she vows to eschew big-budget productions in order to shoot the films she wants to appear in. Smaller. More passion-based. Of course, should her box office fortunes wane she might beg to star in an MCU movie or “Hunger Games” spinoff.
Will she throw herself under the bus in that case?
Lawrence went from a talented, fresh-faced starlet to a star regretful of her fame and eager to publicly trash her own family during puff-piece magazine profiles.
Imagine how she’ll spend the rest of her 30s.
