In the 2010s Jennifer Lawrence was everywhere. Her continuous stream of major film roles helped make her Hollywood's highest-paid actress two years in a row, in 2015 and 2016. Likewise, the press tours for these films helped her become favorite celebrity.
At the height of her fame, Jennifer was praised for her candor and a savvy press release that set her apart from her peers and gave us countless hilarious interview moments that now live on TikTok and YouTube compilations. But after years of promotional tours, magazine covers and box office receipts, the tide began to turn against J.Lo.
This story is as old as time: a successful woman becomes too much successful, and suddenly the world doesn't want to hear from her more. The negative reaction forced Jennifer to take a break from acting, during which time she got married and became a mother. And since her big comeback, it's fair to say she's taken a more low-key approach to fame. protect yourself and your family from closer public attention.
Now, promoting his new film, Die my loveJLo spoke to New Yorker about his past interviews, calling the younger version of himself in those clips “hyper” and “embarrassing.” “I watch these interviews and this person annoys me,” she said. “I understand why seeing this man everywhere is annoying.”
It is noteworthy that the name Jennifer made an unforgettable impression, which Ariana Grande did to her during 2016 Saturday Night Live episode describing the imitation as “accurate”. IN “Celebrity Family Feud” skit, Ari poked fun at J. Law's style of self-deprecating humor and his penchant for discussing food in interviews, saying, “I'm just an avid snacker. I mean, I love Pringles. If no one is looking, I'll eat the whole jar.
Recalling the “uninhabited” public reaction she received, Jennifer explained: “I felt – I didn't feel, I was, I think – rejected not because of my films, not because of my politics, but because of me, because of my personality.”
I don't know about you, but that last quote really upset me. With Jennifer's new interview gaining attention, people are re-examining the hate and how much she seems to have internalized the negativity. One X's interview post with over 160,000 likes reads: “Stop hating on your young bitch, she was really funny.” Someone else repeated the same thought, letter: “I hate it when a bad bitch apologizes for being a damn badass.”
Others talked about how watching her old press interviews remains “highest level of the past“, while someone else proposed that “society doesn't want women to be flamboyant, funny, or loud personalities.”
While strongly disagreeing with what Jen said about her younger personality being “annoying,” someone else recalled that “the public ate up her personality until she became so popular that they felt the need to 'humiliate' her.” Others compared as it happened with Anne Hathaway, with the whole Hatahate era: “They love you one minute, hate you the next!!”
The trend of putting famous women down in Hollywood is truly terrible, and I'm glad fans can remember the young JLo for the fun and outspoken star she was. Let's hope she remembers this too! You can find it in full New Yorker interview here.
