Jennifer Lawrence in Elle Magazine

1 / 3

Jennifer Lawrence brought her rising star to the pages of Elle with a spread in their June issue. The actress is coming off a thrilling award season full of honors for her performance in Winter's Bone, and she has more exciting roles to come. Jennifer will return to the big screen in this Summer's X-Men: First Class, and she played a part in The Beaver, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival today. She also just landed the lead in The Hunger Games. Jennifer may just be getting started, but she's already figuring out what it's like to get the star treatment. She spoke with the magazine about job perks, prepping for near nudity in X-Men, and her pre-Oscars meal. Here's more of what Jennifer Lawrence had to say in Elle:

On prepping for her role in X-Men: “I knew that if I was going to be naked in front of the world, I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy. I’m so sick of people thinking that’s what we’re supposed to look like.”
On getting the star treatment: “When you’re on set, everybody’s like, ‘Oh, do you need water? Here’s 45 bottles!’ It’s really bizarre. I’m still getting used to it. I’m still in wonderland.”
On her pre-Oscars meal: “Fifteen minutes before, the guy doing my hair goes, ‘If you can get a salad, get a salad…I said, ‘I’m getting a Philly cheesesteak.’ I’m sure there’s proof on a hotel bill somewhere.”

I'm so sick of idiots like her who think a woman has to look a certain way. There is no definition of a woman's body, and it is so offensive to call less curvy women "prepubescent boys". Last time I checked she was a size 0.

@xoxoheart @robstew You both CLEARLY misunderstood. She isn't making a "snide remark" on someone skinnier than her. Nor is she commenting on naturally skinny women. She's just criticizing the women in Hollywood who think it's mandatory to lose as much weight as you can. (IMO, they SHOULD be criticized)

I think women should look like whatever is natural for them. I hate it when i hear celebrities talk about there "womanly" bodies, and how women aren't supposed to look like 13 year old prepubescent boys. Well I'm sorry but that's how some women and girls are built and i don't want them to think they should go buy plastic parts to obtain a woman's body. THEY ALREADY HAVE IT. I love Jennifer shes a beautiful girl, but i don't understand why every interview she does ends up talking about her body. I think there are more interesting things for her to talk about since she is a newcomer.

I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy,” Lawrence says, adding, “I’m so sick of people thinking that’s what we’re supposed to look like.” I like her more every time I read about her.

Is she trying to make a snide remark on somebody skinnier than her ,she use to be so chubby too ,now she's a lot skinnier,there's something fishy everytime she opens her mouth,it's always like she's trying to prove something,i don't like it,i don't like her.
