In honor of finally getting to watch “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”
movie today, this post is going to be about the amazingly beautiful, funny, and
talented Jennifer Lawrence. She is one of the most genuine Hollywood actors now and
I think she deserves all the success that comes to her. She’s expressed in
television and magazine interviews that she’s comfortable with her body even in
a business that considers her to be overweight. A lot of her fans think she
looks amazing the way she is, myself being one of them.
In the April 2012 issue of Seventeen magazine, she discusses how
she believes girls should embrace their bodies:
Jennifer Lawrence explains, “[When I was playing Mystique in X-Men,] I
remember thinking, if I’m going to be naked in paint in front of the entire
world, I’m going to look like a woman. I’m going to have curves and have boobs
and have a butt. Because girls are going to look at that, and if I look like a
scarecrow, they are going to think, Oh, that’s normal. It’s not normal. I’m just
so sick of these young girls with diets.” (Seventeen, 118)

She further muses about when she was younger and it was really popular
to pretend to have an eating disorder. She always thought this was crazy and she
whole heartedly believes “[that] it’s really important for girls to have people
to look up to and to feel good about themselves.” (Seventeen, 118)
I think Jennifer Lawrence is a very good role model for females, especially
young girls. She’s not afraid to be herself and be a little different than the celebrities
she works with. She’s also very down to earth in the sense that she also gets star struck.
She brings a sense of humor to all the interviews I’ve seen her in. Even her co-stars
believe she’s such an amazing person and great to work with.
I’m so excited to finally watch “Catching Fire.” I bought pre-sale tickets about two
months ago and the time has finally come, and I can’t wait. I’m so grateful that the entertainment
industry has such a young and influential advocate for true beauty, as Jennifer Lawrence.
I hope you enjoyed my little tribute to the wonderful tribute Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer.
These are some interviews of her discussing body image and some pictures of her April 2012
Seventeen spread. Along with her very handsome co-star, Josh Hutcherson’s November 2013 spread.
