Following pushback from fans after her comments went viral, actress Jennifer Lawrence has cleared the air about her remarks regarding female action heroes.<\/p>\n
Lawrence appeared on a Variety Actors on Actors episode with Viola Davis on Wednesday when she spoke about her time working on \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n
At the time, Lawrence said: \u201cNobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie, because it wouldn’t work, we were told.\u201d Though she had a longer and more thought-out answer about double standards over gender in the action genre, those first few words are what everyone fixed on.<\/p>\n
Thus social media erupted into discussions with plenty of people weighing in on how actresses like Sigourney Weaver, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Pam Grier, Monica Vitti, Michelle Yeoh, and so many more led their own action films in the decades prior to \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d \u2013 many of which found major success.<\/p>\n
Speaking with THR, she explained the confusion over her statement:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThat’s certainly not what I meant to say at all. I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action movie. What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels.<\/p>\n
And I meant that with Viola \u2013 to blow past these old myths that you hear about\u2026 about the chatter that you would hear around that kind of thing. But it was my blunder, and it came out wrong. I had nerves talking to a living legend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Lawrence has been out promoting her Apple TV+ drama film \u201cCauseway\u201d which kickstarts something of a return of Lawrence to the big screen after a few years of absence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
