Unpopular opinions: I can’t stand Jennifer Lawrence




Some people get obsessed with famous actresses and think of them as Goddesses, for me, the only actresses worthy of that title are: Bette Davis, Vivien Leigh, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cottilard, Sally Field, Glenn Close, Isabelle Huppert, Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Greta Garbo, Imelda Staunton, Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett.

Where do I start with Hollywood’s new sweetheart?

Everyone thinks Lawrence is «down to earth» and «oh, so genuine» and a really funny person. And of course, «hot» and «gorgeous» and «full of sexiness»! Because obviously that’s what matters in an actress… her looks! Thanks a lot, Hollywood. Jennifer is like the popular girl in school, that everyone loves and she’s so cool that everyone ignores the bullshit she says. I don't know who ever started telling she is «down to earth»!? Lawrence or her stupid nickname «J-Law», tries so hard to play this «lunatic persona» that it came to the point where it's no longer funny, it's just ridiculous. She keeps reminding me of Megan Fox.

Body-shaming, Homophobia, Sexism and so on... Lawrence is able to bring all that to the table.

Recently, in SNL, Jennifer Lawrence joked about fellow nominee Jessica Chastain: «Jessica Chastain? More like Jessica Chast-ain't winning no Oscar on my watch! In Zero Dark Thirty you caught Bin Laden. So what? In Winter's Bone I caught a squirrel - and then I ate it. Boom! Deal with that!». Wow, how funny, Lawrence… I’m dying laughing here… You really are a humorous person who thinks of herself as a queen because of your Best Actress Oscar. You did so well in your campaign for the Oscar and your Weinstein friends sure did their job.  

Lawrence also loves to complain about her body and how obese Hollywood considers her. In one interview, about her role in X-Men: First Class, she said: «If I’m going to be naked in paint in front of the entire world, I’m going to look like a woman. I’m going to have curves and have boobs and have a butt. Because girls are going to look at that, and if I look like a scarecrow, they are going to think, Oh, that’s normal. It’s not normal So, basically, Jennifer is saying that skinny girls and women «look like a scarecrow» and are not normal? Very nice one, Jennifer: putting one body type down to celebrate another one, that is your own. Body-shaming at its finest. Because woman need people to tell them how they should look like… And she gave the final touch: «I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong, not thin and underfed Lawrence: Do you know what there natural skinny women who want to gain weight and they can’t, right?   


About her character in Hunger Games, Katniss, Lawrence said: «She’s strong, like a male hero with a vagina. Yes, because female heroes can’t be strong, they must be a «male hero with a vagina». Sexism...

Everyone’s favorite was when Jennifer Lawrence talked about her childhood and described herself: «I was so dykey!» And she added that she grew up fishing and playing basketball, baseball and field hockey. Well, according to Lawrence: practicing those sports is a «men’s thing» and if you do it, you are a lesbian, because lesbians can’t enjoy playing with dolls… That’s just stupid, homophobic and sexist. And first of all, if you are straight you’ll never use «dyke» or «dykey» for «humor», because those words were used as verbal weapons against homosexuals in the past. Lawrence didn’t go to High School, so, perhaps, someone should teach her the word «tomboy» because it would have been appropriated. 

In one television talk-show, Jennifer Lawrence said about fellow actor Jesse Eisenberg: «And poor Jesse Eisenberg was talking about all of his OCDs, and then I was like, «Dude, your OCDs are awesome!» And he’s like, «I’ve actually been suffering from it my whole life», and I’m like, «I don’t care! Ha ha ha!» I was nuts.» Is she for real? She was making fun of him because of his disease… Does she know what it is like suffering from Anxiety and having frequently panic attacks? Man, I can’t even be polite here: Go fuck yourself, Lawrence!  


Seems like she doesn’t have any respect for the Art of acting as well; in her interview for Vanity Fair she said: «Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid. Everybody’s like, ‘How can you remain with a level head?’ And I’m like, ‘Why would I ever get cocky? I’m not saving anybody’s life. There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I’m making movies. It’s stupid.» First remark: you are «cocky», Jennifer, you are so full of herself, girl. Second remark: she doesn’t have acting training therefore she was absolutely no idea how hard actors work. I would love to see you, dear Lawrence, in the Theatre. One season would do you great! Lawrence says Art doesn’t save people’s lives. I think her compatriot Ernest Hemingway disagrees with her. I think, yes, we all, artists (actors, musicians, writers, dancers, architects, designers, photographers, painters, sculptors, film and theatre directors), should come to face to the fact that our jobs are stupid because, according to Lawrence, we have no social value. 

But why did Jennifer Lawrence became an actress, then? She answers: «I was just like a pathological liar when I was a kid. I think.» I’m not even going to say anything… Those who study Theatre know that acting is not about lying. Have you ever heard of Stanislavski, Lawrence? Not really, I bet… 

Lawrence can take credit for advocating a «healthy body type» (no just thing exists, but whatever), but not for animal rights. In Winter’s Bones, Lawrence skinned a live squirrel during a graphic scene and she didn’t care, because «it was only a dumb squirrel». She got slammed by PETA for that fact and she replied, for Rolling Stone: «I should say it wasn’t real, for PETA. But screw PETA!» You go, Jennifer! There’s nothing more fun than killing animals and skin them alive… Someone please shut up this douche bag already... 


Last but not least: during her accepting speech in the Golden Globes 2013, when she reached the microphone she said: «What does it say? I beat Meryl!» Everyone went furious about it and Lawrence replied that she loves Meryl Streep and that «I beat Meryl» is a quotation from First Wives Club, the 1996 comedy starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton. Yes, it is indeed a line from that movie, but, excuse me, Jennifer was nominee in the same category as Meryl Streep was and you really want me to believe that she was just quoting a movie line? Yeah, right. You wish, Lawrence! Being half of the grand woman Meryl Streep is. 
 
On kissing Christian Bale: «I finally get to make out with Christian Bale, and he’s a really fat guy!» Director David O’ Russell recalled Lawrence saying on set: «He’s Fatman, not Batman!» Where did your “body-positive” went, Jennifer Lawrence? Didn’t she said it should be illegal call people “fat” on TV?

She also remarked that nothing is more annoying to her than shy people: «Oh, I can't stand shy people. Like, make it up already. Ask about the weather, don't stare at your plate and make me feel like I'm making you uncomfortable!» Well, Lawrence, I think those «shy people» you meant are just not into listen to your bullshit…  You like farting in public and I find that very unpleasant and impolite. 
 

Unpopular opinion on regular basis but it is my opinion and don’t go crazy fan on me, because I couldn’t care less about your obsession over someone famous you don’t even know. I don't care if she's beautiful and gorgeous that doesn't cover her personality. I don’t know Jennifer Lawrence personally but her comments and her attitude don’t please me at all: I find her ridiculous, desperate for fame, sexist, homophobic and she's not a great actress like Hollywood claims her to be. And her fall during the Oscars was so fake, please... she fell in slow motion, all graceful... not even embarrasing. I hope you get the Oscars' curse, Lawrence! I don't know how it is possible that some people worship her and say she's a good role model for young girls...
