I think Jennifer Lawrence is gorgeous, intelligent, talented, and the perfect embodiment of The Hunger Games' lead character Katniss. One thing I would never consider Lawrence is obese. In a new interview with Elle, Lawrence talks body image and weight in Hollywood, arguing that by the Hollywood standard, she's obese. Really? Obese? I think that may be a bit on the dramatic side, there Ms. Lawrence.
Jennifer Lawrence may star in “The Hunger Games,” but she vows that she will never engage in extreme dieting just to fit into Hollywood's rail-thin world.
In a new interview with Elle, the statuesque 22-year-old gets candid about the unattainable body standards in showbiz, revealing that, among her peers in the industry, she is inexplicably thought of as someone who is overweight. “In Hollywood, I'm obese,” notes the Kentucky native. “I'm considered a fat actress.” To make her point she adds, “I'm Val Kilmer in that one picture on the beach,” referring to the 2007 photo of the actor in his bathing suit, which generated a slew of nasty headlines. She then goes on to talk about her food habits, saying, “I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors.”
