Jennifer Lawrence: The Nonconformist
n the Monday before Thanksgiving, Jennifer Lawrence was standing nearly naked in a hotel room in Beverly Hills. “I have no modesty left,” she said as she decided what to wear for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, followed by a taping of The Tonight Show, and in the evening, the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, Silver Linings Playbook. She had already been to two photo shoots that day, and on one of them, a hairstylist wove dreadlocks into her long, naturally blonde hair, which had been dyed brown for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second installment of the grimly futuristic trilogy.
The first Hunger Games, which came out in 2012, grossed almost $700 million worldwide and made Lawrence, who plays the intrepid teenage warrior Katniss Everdeen, an international star. Between chapters 1 and 2, she filmed Silver Linings, a dark romantic comedy. “I like that my character knows that she’s crazy—and accepts it,” Lawrence told me. “She says, ‘Keep being weird! Just be proud of it.’ ”
Although she’s not remotely cuckoo, Lawrence, 22, is stubbornly, wonderfully true to herself, and that self is not constrained by Hollywood’s usual rules of conformity. For instance, while she is a newly named face of Christian Dior, Lawrence loves to eat and is, as she bluntly puts it, “fat, by Hollywood’s standards.” And even though her fame has escalated rapidly, Lawrence still lives in the modest condo in Santa Monica she moved into in 2006, when she was 16 and playing the rebellious teenage daughter on the TBS series The Bill Engvall Show. Despite an Oscar nomination for 2010’s very serious Winter’s Bone, Lawrence can still quote Dumb and Dumber from beginning to end. She speaks her mind and is not guarded or conventional. When I asked her what superpower she would want to have, Lawrence said, “It would be horrible to read people’s thoughts. I always know when I’m being lied to, and that drives me nuts.”
Perhaps that’s the key to Lawrence’s honesty: She doesn’t want to betray her own need for the truth. “I don’t think I’m particularly brave or bold or different from anyone else,” Lawrence insisted. “I just think this is an easier way to be.” Usually, this outsize a personality is hard to subsume into a role, but Lawrence disappears into her characters. In Silver Linings, she plays a widow who has Goth tendencies, with no shred of the actress’s real-life bounding friendliness. “I am like the movie in one way: I’m superstitious,” she said, slipping into a fitted black and white tweed Dior dress. “Whenever it’s 11:11, I make all of the people around me wish that my boyfriend [the actor Nicholas Hoult] not get killed in a motorbike accident. He just bought a motorbike, and I think my ritual will keep him alive. The other night, at 11:11 p.m., I told an entire bar to say, ‘Nick will not die in a motorbike accident.’ And they did it.” I asked her if she repeated this ritual at 11:11 a.m. too. “I don’t wake up for it!” Lawrence exclaimed. “God, I hardly ever wake up before 11. I’m an artist! I need at least 18 hours a night, with catnaps.” Lawrence laughed and picked up her bag to leave for Ellen. “I’m not that crazy,” she said, half-joking. “But I am an artist.”
Some actors wilt under the pressures of Oscar season, a months-long slog that forces them to give daily interviews about the same movie over and over again. Fortunately, Jennifer Lawrence is not one of them. The Silver Linings Playbook actress and Best Actress front-runner has been hitting the social circuit hard over the past week (perhaps she’s making up for lost time, since an overlong X-Men: First Class shoot prevented Lawrence from doing much press in 2011 for her Winter’s Bone nomination), and whether she’s promoting Silver Linings on Conan, attending the annual Oscar nominees luncheon, or receiving an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, she’s dropping quotable bon mots right and left. Here are eight things we’ve learned about Lawrence over the past week:
She’s obsessed with Conan O’Brien:
“I’ve been watching the show for fifteen years, and I’m 22 years old,” Lawrence said to the talk-show host at the top of her Conan appearance. “I’m such a [fan]. Oh my God. The producer said to me, ‘Andy Richter’s going to hug you,’ and I started tearing up. You coming in [to my dressing room] put me at a 10, emotionally, and then her telling me that put me at a 15, and I couldn’t handle it.”She loves John Stamos:
“He was at a party, and I turned into a perverted guy,” Lawrence told O’Brien. “I was following him into rooms and staring at his ass. I lost my mind. And I got so upset — I didn’t want to meet him, because when I meet people, it’s never good, and I was avoiding him — but then my friends brought him over because my friends are jerks, and I started really freaking out, and he asked me if I was on mushrooms, and I said, ‘No, I’m dead sober. This is just me.'”She had a short-lived Abercrombie & Fitch modeling career in her teens:
“There’s this one picture where this girl’s just about to catch this football,” Lawrence said to O’Brien, “and behind her, I’m, like, flared nostrils, red face, my hair’s crazy and I’m midair, RAAAHH! … I thought that overnight I had just gotten really good at football, then I realized they were model footballing, and I was really playing football.”She’s going for a high-fashion moment at the Oscars this year:
“I’m going to wear sweatpants,” Lawrence initially joked at the Oscar nominees luncheon, before adding, “Last time, [I dressed for] comfort. This year, I’m like, ‘Suck it up, wear a corset.’ I am going to go for fashion this time.” Is it difficult to pick an Oscar dress after months of wearing pretty frocks to premieres and awards shows? “That’s the problem with the Oscars: They’re always at the end where you are just exhausted from dressing up, so I never care,” said Lawrence. “Now, I will. Fashion.”Spanx is her friend:
“Eating normally calms me down,” continued Lawrence at the Oscar luncheon. “I remember, before the [2011] Oscars, I was wearing that skintight dress, and I ate a Philly cheesesteak and fries. I was like, ‘This is definitely going to help,’ which it didn’t, ’cause I had to double Spanx it.”The highlight of the Oscar luncheon was …
” … Sally Field asking me to carpool to some cocktail party,” said Lawrence. “And I just invited Jacki Weaver, and I’m trying to get [Naomi] Watts. Carpooling with Sally Field. Make my dreams come true.” J-Law added that all the actresses should rent a van together for awards-circuit purposes. “And all of us just unload: [Anne] Hathaway, Watts, [Jessica] Chastain, me! Like a clown car. It’ll be a lot more fun that way, and more intense.”She doesn’t do a whole lot of preparation for her roles:
“I never actually read my lines until I show up,” Lawrence confessed at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. “It started out as a lazy thing. And then my friend was over, and she was like, ‘What scene are you doing tomorrow?’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know. Is that bad? Is there a point in my career where I should start learning my lines for work?’ And she was like, ‘Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ So, that’s that. I don’t have a way of doing anything, so I like to just mold to whatever the director likes. And I find that a lot easier to do when I don’t already have something set in my mind and I can just show up.”What kind of movie would Lawrence like to direct, when the time comes?
“It would be like Step Brothers,” Lawrence told the SBIFF audience. “I’m serious! I saw Step Brothers and I was like, ‘Why didn’t I direct that?'”
