It was 2012, and Jennifer Lawrence was promoting “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” when she blurted out, without anesthesia, one of the most memorable statements about her body. 🎬
In an interview with Elle magazine, the American actress said: “In Hollywood, I’m obese. I’m considered a fat actress. I eat like a caveman. I’ll be the only actress who won’t be rumored to have anorexia. I’m never going to starve myself for a role”.
The phrase was not a slip: Lawrence had spent years refusing to fit into the extreme-thinness mold that dominates the industry, and she wanted to set a different example for the girls watching her from the outside. At a time when few stars spoke so frankly, her words became a headline. 💬
