While Ryan Gosling may be the King of Gifs (thanks mostly to his face and the obsession of too many feminists,?and not so much things he actually says), Jennifer Lawrence is the Queen.? Thanks to her down to earth nature, and lack of boundaries about her shitting habits, she is sort of like a pleasant version of herpes.? Like the gift that keeps on giving, she just keeps coming back again and again, giving every person with a decent amount of Paint knowledge the ability to make funny memes and adorable animated gifs.
While doing a publicity tour for the new The Hunger Games:?Catching Fire movie, Lawrence did not disappoint and showed us all once again why she’s basically America’s BFF4E.? At least until the day she becomes too ‘serious’ for her craft or pulls a Lohan.
Please don’t ever pull a Lohan, Jennifer.
Part of Jennifer Lawrence’s charm is her lack of refinement.? You can tell she burps and drinks beer and is kind of the anti-Goopy Paltrow.? She is refreshing in a world full of soul sucking prima donnas.? She goes totally off the script in her interviews, has no qualms about looking ridiculous, and it makes for the best moments.
Take for example, Lawrence’s reaction last week at a red carpet event in New York for Catching Fire. She got a little sick of the annoying photographers yelling at her every two minutes, so she showed them what it sounds like:
Elegance be damned.
Then there was Jennifer’s interview with David Letterman.? She has no problem jumping into TMI land and telling Letterman (and the world) her issues with pooping.
“I thought I had an ulcer and it turns out it was a fulcer. I had this really bad?pain for like three weeks and you can only shit your pants so many times a day? before you say ?I have to go to the hospital.”
Only JLaw (which she hates being called by the way, but my fingers are tired) could describe explosive diarrhea and make it adorable.? She then takes the cuteness up a notch by finishing the interview covered in her bright pink duvet.? And as a sign that Lawrence’s likeability knows no bounds, Letterman snuggled with her.
Yea, Letterman doesn’t just jump into anyone’s flowery blanket.? Jennifer Lawrence is special.
Sometimes Lawrence is serious too.? She has been outspoken before about?Hollywood’s obsession with weight, and it’s unrealistic standards.? Lawrence does not shy away from the fact that she likes food.? That she realllllly likes food.
Add wine and cupcakes to that, and I am so on board.
She also recently shared how she was pressured to lose weight after the success of the first Hunger Games films, and how she flat out refused to start sticking?a toothbrush down her throat.
“In the first movie, when it was obviously being talked about, like, ?It's the Hunger Games, you have to lose 10lb,? I was like, ?We have control over this image, we have control over this role model. Why would we make her something unobtainable and thin? This is a person that young girls ? well, all women, but mainly young girls ? will be looking up to and are going to want to look like her, and we have control over it, so why not make her strong? Why not make her beautiful and healthy and fit? I was very adamant about that, because I think that our industry doesn't take enough responsibility for what it does to our society, about having these unrealistic expectations, and I don't want to be part of that. I remember what it felt like to be 14 years old and looking at a Victoria?s Secret model, and thinking, ?I'll never look like that.? I don't want to make someone feel like that.?
While one would think someone starring in something with the word “hunger” in the title would look like they need a burger, it was and continues to be super refreshing to see someone not abnormally thin kicking some serious ass.? Keep rocking on, Jennifer Lawrence.
And in case you don’t feel like Googling, here are just a few shots of the awesomeness that is JLaw.
