Jennifer Lawrence is going viral for some new comments she said, which stemmed from talking about her big franchise The Hunger Games!
The 32-year-old actress, who starred as Katniss Everdeen, took part in an Actors on Actors conversation with Viola Davis for Variety.
In the conversation, Jennifer opened up about why some thought the movie wouldn’t work, where commented on women being leads in action movies.
Keep reading inside to see what she said…
“I remember when I was doing Hunger Games, nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,” she said. “And it just makes me so happy 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’ve always been in.”
After the interview came out, many pointed out a lot of the female-led action movies, including Kill Bill, Aliens, Mr & Mrs Smith, Resident Evil, GI Jane, Underworld and more.
“Today l learned that Jennifer Lawrence has never seen a movie,” one Twitter user wrote.
Others defended her intention behind her statement, noting that female-led action movies are WAY fewer than those led my men.
In the Actors on Actors conversation, Jennifer also talked about how The Hunger Games affected her craft, motherhood, her biggest hindrance, conversations about her weight and more. Check out their full conversation on Variety.
