Following a firestorm of criticism, actress Jennifer Lawrence is clarifying false remarks she made earlier concerning woman-led action movies. The Oscar-winning actress issued the alleged correction Thursday while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was my blunder and it came out wrong,\u201d Lawrence, 32, admitted in the interview regarding her alleged slip of the tongue.<\/p>\n
The controversy was initially sparked a day earlier after \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d star declared herself the first ever female action lead during an interview for Variety’s \u201cActors on Actors\u201d series with Viola Davis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work \u2014 because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot Identify with a female lead,\u201d Lawrence claimed while describing her role as Katniss Everdeen in the 2012 film adaptation based on the popular book series.<\/p>\nJennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d (2012).<\/figcaption>\u00a9Lions Gate\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJennifer Lawrence speaks onstage during The 2022 Gotham Awards at Cipriani Wall Street on November 28, 2022, in New York City.<\/figcaption>Getty Images for The Gotham Film & Media Institute<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJennifer Lawrence from the film \u201cCauseway\u201d speaks onstage during Contenders Film: Los Angeles at DGA Theater Complex on November 19, 2022, in Los Angeles, California.<\/figcaption>Deadline via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHer comments ignited a tsunami of backlash with film buffs noting that there had been a number of female action stars long before her 2012 flick. <\/p>\n
They listed examples ranging from Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley in the \u201cAlien\u201d franchise starting in 1979 to Angelina Jolie in the 2001 and 2003 \u201cTomb Raider\u201d movies.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, the Kentucky native was quick to walk back her remarks. \u201cThat’s certainly not what I meant to say at all,\u201d Lawrence clarified to THR. \u201cI know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action movie.\u201d<\/p>\nSigourney Weave in “Alien” (1979).<\/figcaption>\u00a920thCentFox\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAngelina Jolie as Lara Croft in \u201cTomb Raider\u201d (2001).<\/figcaption>Alamy Stock Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShe explained that she \u201cmeant to emphasize how good it feels to blow past these old myths\u201d regarding gender bias in Hollywood. <\/p>\n
Ultimately, Lawrence said she’d made a mistake because she was nervous talking to a \u201cliving legend\u201d in Davis.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
