Jennifer Lawrence has responded to the backlash from her comment last week that \u201cnobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie\u201d before her role as Katniss Everdeen in the \u201cHunger Games\u201d \u2014 and told The Hollywood Reporter she misspoke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat’s certainly not what I meant to say at all,\u201d Lawrence said Thursday. \u201cI know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film. What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels. And I meant that with Viola \u2014 to blow past these old myths that you hear about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lawrence said she was just addressing \u201cthe chatter that you would hear\u201d around female-led action movies being given short shrift when she made her faux pas during Variety’s \u201cActors on Actors\u201d interview with Viola Davis, but that it was her \u201cblunder\u201d and \u201ccame out wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the Variety interview, Lawrence recalled being told that \u201cgirls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.\u201d The newfound mom was subsequently slammed online despite merely trying to compliment Davis on her lead in \u201cThe Woman King.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI had nerves talking to a living legend,\u201d Lawrence told The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
