Jennifer Lawrence

[TallButShort]

I think it was in an interview at some point, she got angry with the interviewer because he enquired about her weight and if she had lost any, or something like that. People constantly call her fat because she isn't stick thin. I think her figure is the ideal, to be honest.

omg Jennifer Lawrence said she lykes 2 eat omg I lyke to eat 2 she's so down to earth <33

Yeah, those types are real mature.

I understand that the tweens on Tumblr etc. kind of ruin her a bit, but they do that with *everything*. That's a problem with Tumblr, not a problem with Jennifer. Doesn't take away from how well she can act or what a great role model she is. But yeah, if I had a penny for every time 13 year olds ruined my favourite things for me...

I agree! Half the criticism in this thread isn't about Jennifer but what society has "done" to her.

I'm HUGE into THG and didn't know if she'd play Katniss very well, but I think she did a great job. After seeing her in interviews, I say she did a phenomenal job because Katniss is not as outgoing as Jennifer.

The thing I love about Jennifer is she's so out of the box for Hollywood. She doesn't feel like she has to put on a certain persona to please people.

[angel face]

I think she tries way to hard to be relatable

[Angie V]

I think she's kind of annoying because she keeps trying to be all "omg i love food lol i'm so chilld and down to earth" yet bitch, you have all the resources in the world to eat whatever the fuck you want and still stay looking good, so don't try to act like you're normal.

But comparing her to kristen and emma is like comparing a Porsche to a tricycle..... at least she can act.

If Jennifer never signed on to be play Katniss, I'm pretty sure no one would question her weight/figure. It just that she's playing a girl living in poverty, hungry for food, people may question her figure. It's great that Lionsgate or whoever didn't force her to go on a diet for the role (although I wonder if she might have to loose weight for "Mockingjay") Not saying she has to, but some actors have to loose/gain weight for a character to come to life, nothing wrong with it imo, makes it more realistic.

Anyway, I love Jen, she's got to be one of my favorite actresses. I adore how she speaks her mind. I don't think she ever tries to come off as relatable, I worked on set of Catching Fire and she's just as kind and funny in real life. I think no matter how big she gets she'll always be her humble self.

I love jennifer she's very humble and funny.

I watched this interview of her after the Oscars and I fell in love with her more. She handles awkward and frankly some rude questions with grace and humor. I don't care if she says politically incorrect things (in response to the above link)...she's herself with no apologies and I like that.

I don't really like her acting - something about her face is so expressionless on film, even in emotional scenes.

RIGHT?!
I don't really follow her or watched any of the movies she was aside from the hunger games which IMO, she suck at.
She had one expression through-out the movie and I got bored of it very quickly...

[LanaChaton]

omg Jennifer Lawrence said she lykes 2 eat omg I lyke to eat 2 she's so down to earth <33

This made me laugh out loud

I've never actually seen Jennifer Lawrence's acting, so all I can really comment on is that I think she is drop dead gorgeous.

[LadyKaiko]

Jennifer Lawrence is definitely beautiful. She looks better brunette than blonde, in my opinion.

It's a serious expression for a serious movie. She smiles at times, but most of it is pretty fucking depressing. Why should her character be obligated to emote in those circumstances?

[LadyKaiko]

I agree with vietnamese. The movie is fucking depressing. There's no reason for her to smile in The Hunger Games.

[OhOhSheeiila]

I think she is a GREAT actress and I really enjoy watching her movies and look forward to her future work.
I love her sarcasm. The post Oscar interview conference was hilarious!!!!!

However, the whole "I’m considered a fat actress. I eat french fries. I eat like a caveman." thing is getting old on me. I appreciate she's trying to send out a positive body image...but she's not fat, AT ALL. Not even to Hollywood's standard. I could understand someone like Mindy Kaling saying that (she's an average, healthy woman but by Hollywood's stupid standards would be considered a bit chunky) but not her. She got asked to lose weight to play Katniss because the characters were starving, always looking for their next meal....it's wasn't a jab at her weight just a request to be more like the character (ex. Tom Hanks losing weight for his role in Cast Away so it would be realistic). Katniss hunted meals for her family or for money, not herself, she was usually hungry but was so selfless that she'd give food to her family first. A girl like that isn't going to be fit and filled, don't murder the production team for asking you to lose weight to fit the role.

Otherwise, she is an amazing talent! And the fact that she's so humble about it all is amazing for her age. Hopefully the whole "I'm fat" deal will eventually fade away.

This is her at the Oscar's. FAT?! OBESE?! Don't think so... (I took out the fluffy-ness of the dress on the right to see her figure better)

[losiento]

i love her. she is really hilarious. and she was so great in Silver linings playbook. but ughhhhhh she looks soo strong and big/tall to be Katniss. And she makes Peeta(Josh) look like her little brother...lol. I actually cringed so hard at their cave scenes..omg...
there are a lot of references about Katniss climbing trees very high. and she(katniss) keeps saying it's because she herslef is small. the time when she climbed all the way to the top to avoid Cato clans or when the fence's become alive with electricity so she had to go over it etc. ,.

[HattieChaos]

The character of Katniss is very INTJ-like, and INTJ's tend to be quite expressionless. The inner MBTI-geek in me thought she was spot on with both Katniss's persona as well as the match up to personality. I know it's just a film, but I like it when that happens.

Anyone who doesn't like her acting, I direct you to Silver Linings Playbook and Winter's Bone.

And I'd much rather her "annoying" quirk, which everyone has tbh, to be speaking about food she eats too much than going out partying all the time or speaking about the *lack* of food she eats. Honestly, people will complain about the silliest things. The only reason you're getting annoyed is because it's so intensified on Tumblr - and as I said, that is a problem with the idiots on Tumblr ruining everything rather than a problem with what they ruined.

E.g: I was going to watch Sherlock, but Tumblr is putting me off even starting it. Does that make it a bad show? Hell no.

Also - The reason she gets angry about her weight is fuck all to do with the producers of THG, it is because - and I know because I have watched instances of this happening - she literally gets asked about her weight without having it linked to her roles in interviews.

Head on over to Skinny Gossip and look for her section if you don't believe that people think she's fat. And those are normal everyday strangers like you and me, not Hollywood professionals. I agree that she sure as hell isn't fat, and that's precisely why it's shocking that she gets plagued as though she is.

[Fadia Fiji]

Like, I said, I only watched THG, and none of her other movies.
I haven't read THG books, nor do I know much about it. I only watched the movie because it was recommended to me by a friend.
I wasn't impressed with her acting at all, it was one expression through-out the whole movie which put me off completely. Yes, I know it's a serious, depressing movie but I feel she could have done much more with the character.
My brother and sister who watched the movie also felt the same.


Again, just my opinion.

I'm sorry, I know you really like Jennifer Lawrence and I don't want to sound rude, because you seem nice and I definitely DON'T want to start a fight, but is anyone going to be allowed to say anything negative about her without you saying something? It just seems that way from what I read. Not everyone's going to like her. I understand you enjoy her work and you enjoy her personality, but not everyone does. You don't have to constantly defend her. Again, not trying to be rude, just talking from what I saw. This is an open forum for opinions, not JUST a "Rave about Jennifer Lawrence" thread.

[FaeSolo]

I cannot stand her, to be honest :/. I don't think she's very talented. I also don't understand the comparisons to Emma Watson. Emma is significantly better. I just... There's something about Jennifer I don't like.

Can't I respond with what I think, though? Just as much as people can say bad things about her, people can agree or disagree with those bad things - as well as the good, that's what a discussion is. A big problem with this forum is that people can trashtalk others as much as they like and nothing will be said, but on the off chance that another person repeatedly defends them or just simply responds to the negative points, they're shot down. Of course you can all have your opinion, and just as you can disagree with and respond to mine, I can do so to yours - whether I'm being positive or not. I bet if I was responding to a positive post about someone with a post that just repeatedly shot them down, you'd be completely fine and wouldn't say anything.

[TaylorKnows]

I do not mean to be rude, I respect your opinion. There have been several threads where I do not agree with what is being said, but unless I really find something wrong with what someone says, I do not respond each time. But hey, it's your opinion, your choice. Sorry for any hard feelings.
