Jennifer Lawrence: The next big thing

Arab Today, arab today Jennifer Lawrence: The next big thing

WASHINGTON - Arabstoday

She's only 20 and already has an Oscar nomination to her name. Now Jennifer Lawrence stars as a blue mutant in X-Men and a teen warrior in Hunger Games. Has success affected her? At the moment, Jennifer Lawrence — Academy Award nominee, comic-book-movie star and the current unofficially anointed It Girl — can barely catch her breath long enough to have a conversation. During a recent telephone call with Lawrence — who received her first Oscar nomination this year for her portrayal of a steely teen in Winter's Bone and will be seen in her first summer blockbuster, X-Men: First Class — the actress is all over the place. Movie stardom apparently requires multitasking for this 20-year-old. And this is only the beginning. After her turn as young shape-shifter Mystique (non-mutant name: Raven Darkholme) in X-Men: First Class, Lawrence will star in her buzziest role to date: as teen warrior Katniss Everdeen in the adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic young-adult book series The Hunger Games, a role that has made her the subject of intense internet chatter and landed her on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. So how has success affected her? Given her often refreshingly unpretentious answers to a reporter's questions, not a whole lot. Was it strange to go from doing movies like Winter's Bone to an X-Men flick? It's all filmmaking. The behind-the-scenes is always different: You have a bigger trailer, there's better food. Things like that. I still do the movies for the same reasons. I still love the script, I love the director, I love the character and the other actors involved. So all of the reasons why I was there, they were all the same. It's kind of like camping versus going to a resort. They're both fun, they're just different kinds of fun. James McAvoy co-stars in X-Men, and strikes me as someone who has gone through a similar transition, having appeared in films like Atonement, as well as comic-book movies like this one and Wanted. Did you seek career advice from him? No, I think we kind of mostly just joked around and messed up takes and made fart noises. I am sure your Oscar experience was a bit of a blur, but do you have one or two moments that stand out? I was really excited because Florence and the Machine was playing. I really remember that performance really well. It was great. I loved being able to sit next to my dad. We just kept looking at each other like, "I can't believe this is happening." Have you started to process what's changed in your life? I'm still really focused on the work, to be honest. I pay attention to me being busier. But I don't think of it as, oh my God, now I am on all these talk shows. It's just kind of like, work. And then I'm still reading scripts and trying to figure out the next thing. And when I'm on set, I'm just thinking about the script and of working. You've been praised in the media for seeming grounded. Do you feel like you're more grounded than other people you encounter in Hollywood? I think I run into grounded people all the time. As long as you remember what you're here for — you're here for the work, you're here to make a film. I was talking about it the other day, how there seems to be some very bizarre habit where as soon as you become big and famous, you think that you don't have to work anymore. And it's just such a weird trend that I'm starting to see. There is so much internet chatter and interest in The Hunger Games. Do you feel prepared for all the added attention? I don't think there really is a way to prepare, I just think there is a way to accept it. It's kind of scary, to be honest. I love the movie and I love the books, and I didn't want to just turn away because I was scared [of the scrutiny]. Given your schedule, do you ever have time to relax? If so, what do you do? Not right now. I just kind of do what I just did, which is just cancelled my flight I was supposed to be rushing to right now so I could just have a full night's sleep here and then go to work tomorrow. I don't have full days of rest, no.
