“What was it like playing a weak woman?” Id say in this role, she’s stronger than many of her other roles.
She's definitely talented and deserves the success she has. Mother proved that, again.
"what was it like playing a weak woman" she asked... wtf?
It's a valid question
yeah she isn't weak! That was a little bit offensive tbh
Her wit is incredible. SHe's way way smarter than most of us. My guestimate would be around 150. She's not just a pretty face, she's one of hollywood's renaissance people.
Jenny, I apologize if this offends you, but we do know you and we do love YOU, not just your characters, stop telling yourself that. We love YOU! Your personality shines through and it is beautiful. Love you.
Anyone else sees the sadness in her face? Idk but i feel like she's kind of changed..
Yeah, I saw. But it was 3-2 years ago. I hope now she is better!
I also understand, I hope it's just an impression.
This interviewer was fantastic. great intelligent questions and compassionate calm energy
Are you kidding? She was awful!
Yeah she had the hollier than thou vibe, didn't like it
ok this got me 0:40 Even though being on camera naked or shooting a bow and arrow is challeging and awkward this just shows how incredible her acting is!! She is able to speak so perfectly, keep the same face, and truely show her character and how she feel through out the whole sene (ik my spelling is bad, you dont have to tell me). I am just blown away by her talent!!! You can only understand how difficult it is if you have actually picked up a camera and tried to make a miny/normal movie. For me, being on camera is easy but acting on camera is so difficult and what makes it harder s if you have to act a sene like that. I really admire you Jennifer and ur work!! Love you
She's obviously not doing everything right. And she doesn't have to. Just because she's an actress, doesn't stop her from being an actual flawed human being. To me, she has some pretty interesting opinions and I like her character. I also believe she is talented, maybe a bit overrated, but definitely better than some other blah actresses starring in huge roles atm.
Thank you! People either fawn over her for how 'relatable' she is and overhype her, or berate her for being 'immature' and 'annoying'. The fact is she's a solid commercial actress, slightly overrated in comparison to her contemporaries like Alicia Vikander and Brie Larson, but still talented. She's made her fair share of faux pas and mistakes career-wise but she's also quite charismatic and intelligent as a person. People are so quick to put people on a pedestal or break them down, why can't we just recognise that no person is perfect and we've all got our fair share of flaws and qualities.
Mother was not weak. I don't care how strong women characters are in other movies. That is so unintelligent! Mother was a strong woman. Go to hell.
Brie Larson is hella overrated. Jen is not.
Best interview I've seen of her. Great interviewer and great questions. We actually learn a lot about Jennifer here.
There is a sadness in her voice . I love her .
No Buddy that's not reason, love does not require reasons. And you are piss poor of psychologist .
You are welcome .And yes there is a sadness when you are not whit someone that you love . It's depressing .
I think someone is pushing her to do and say sm that she doesn't wanna. She doesn't look as her lately. She looks sad and more serious. Maybe it is all the hate that she received for express herself or maybe it is Darren Aronofsky, I don't know
I wish i knew . I wish i was there to help her. As for Aronofsky don't worry it is only a promotion for the movie Mother . A girl like that could have any man she want only she has to snap her fingers . He looks like uncle Fester from Adams family . Swing in any direction and you would hit his jaw .
why is she wearing a shirt with an upside down pentagram on it?
Everyone is so cruel in the comments. Show some respect. Just because she has a high profile career doesn't mean she has to change her opinions. No matter what she thinks or what she wears, she is still human and deserves to be treated with some courtesy.
I love your comment. We need more opinions like yours. Positive and respectful
Interviewer: "are we gonna be laughing AT Jennifer Lawrence?"
Jennifer: "I hope so, Or laughing WITH..."
Keep on speaking out, Jen. I love the fact that you stand by your principles even though it makes some idiots dislike you. Not that you need worry, all of us intelligent humans support you 100%
Joe Sycamore but she repeated the lie of the pay gap...Not too bright is she... Look up the factual feminist on the pay gap. There's more to how much you are paid than your gender...Like experience, awards won, position held in that field, how popular you are, etc..Don't fall for the trap of only looking at these complex matters through the sjw lens of looking at everything in terms of gender, race and victimhood status..
Quando il saggio mostra la luna, l'idiota guarda il dito
I really love what she said here 6:51-7:25 cause as a huge Jlaw fan I have to face the hard truth of: I dont actually know Jen so I cant say I love her. I mean it sucks but I know that there are millions of people who are also wanting to know jen personally so, I want to meet her and grow a friendship with her but at the same time it would be impossible on Jen to do that for thousands of people and as someone who loves Jennifer (on camera cause that is all I have seen of her) I dont want to do that to her. Another thing is that many celebs try their hardest to make their fans happy and say "my fans know me" or "my fans are all I have" but in reality FANS DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CELEBRITY THEY ADMIRE!!! Thank you so much Jennifer for saying "my fans dont know me, so they dont love me" and even though some people dont want to hear it (especially from Jennifer her self) it is so true!! People just have to accept the fact that WE DONT LOVE JEN FOR WHO SHE IS WE "LOVE" THE JLAW THAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN!!
ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS OF ALL TIME. I LOVE HER💞
The scene she speaks of, literally emotionally scarred me. When it happened in the film the first time I saw it, I felt physically ill and thought I was going to start screaming from feeling so emotionally assaulted and almost vomited - such an insanely well-made film. I saw it again and it didn't affect me emotionally like it did before, as I knew what was going to happen, but it made me appreciate the film all the more for how wonderfully done it is.
Chloe H. What scene was it?
popyNcorny The cannibal scene + where she gets thrown to the ground and beaten
Chloe H. I've seen the movie and I'm curious to know which scene she was talking about :)
My young daughter saw the scene and cried for 10mins!
Chloe H., I don't know how you got past the scene to be able to watch it again. I cannot find the will to watch it again because the fact that that film included that scene, that part, made the movie sickening and took it to a place where it couldn't come back from.
Speak out about the horrors of Pedophilia and Human Trafficking in hollywood .
No, she is speaking out on women's rights. I'm sure someone else will speak about pedophilia and human trafficking but don't minimize the problem or her effort.
MolecularMoonlight you're crazy. She's been famous for about 4 years and suddenly is her duty to talk about everything wrong in Hollywood? Why don't ask other people who has decades in the business instead?
Sheera Macfarlane she did
jake_gull89... why didn't she speak up about Harvey Weinstein many years ago?... why did she wait until she had her many millions?...her fame and her Oscar? Why did she lavish accolades and love on him in all her acceptance speeches?... and now tell the world what a predator he is. Both Lawrence and Paltrow travelled the same road with Harvey Weinstein, they are just 2 of the many hypocrites in la la land!
Despite her fame I wonder if people really appreciate just how talented she is. In my opinion she is in a league with Sean Penn, Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNero.
I love her... talented and gorgeous...
Plus a Rape Enabler. ;)
Gracia María Fe Espinoza Padrón "
ECJ49 ?
I really really love her!
she is so pretty...amazing bone structure
Her bones, huh? Bet you think they`d fit in your basement.
Totally not creepy
Jennifer's shirt in this interview just helped me understand how she could be the center role in a movie like "Mother", and having to make herself "go to a dark place" to become such a character...
Side note; I liked the interviewer. Sweet lady.
How far dark the industry ugly 👀
WOMEN..speak up!!! do not give up NEVER!!
I love you Jennifer, you are very talented
D.A. DuFur you're*
Brilliant movie.. orchestrated beautifully. Definitely a daring piece of work that will be talked about for a very long time.
Beautiful as always. Wonderful role model 💕😍
I love you speak out on speaking out.
She is great 👏👏👏👏
I liked her as a person way before I saw her movies. She's still young and insecure about herself. She is secure in her talent. Hopefully she will learn not let it define who she is, before her fame fades.
Wow! She is so brave. Gender pay gay is a thing. But no one wants to talk about it. We need someone who is brave enough speak about this issue. And there she is.. wow! Thank you Jen 👏👏👏👏
"She has a unprecedented career" so true. What an intro. Great clips from Jennifer's films between the interviewed questions. Jen can't help but to express her opinions on issues, not saying something would give her sleepless nights. Expect more sleepless nights as words said can be more damaging if the audience disagrees. When asked what wouldn't you do for love? Jennifer's answer was 'change'. My opinion "it takes strength and will power to sustain your personality when in love. No relationship must challenge the change in personality and control". Jennifer can say things in an unorthodox way, like saying that her fans does not know her or even love her. Whatever disappointment she is feeling right now, it is only temporary. This language of separation and losing connection with fans is due to the dreadful movie ticket sales of the film 'Mother'. It's painful to see your work fail and the important message you want to bring not received as hoped. Actually a certain group praised the message and its delivery to the screen. This is because the message represents a political ideology "Abuse of the earth by humans" that this group supports. Its a false ideology and that is why it was a failure to bring in a wider audience. Jen has a core set of fans that loves any film Jen is in and does not care about what the film represents and the politics behind making the film. Stephen Lindsay-Yule
Vickki Yulee I actually agree with her on the "fans dont know and love me" Its true. About her and every other celebrity. Especially actors.
Katerina M...Yeah, exactly. She realizes that adulation from fans is not truly knowing or loving someone and is often fleeting. Fans of hers, like me, know publicly available information about her but we don't really know her like her friends and family do. She's absolutely correct about that.
JonBenait06 There is actually. For example we dont really know singers too but in a way we know them a bit better than actors, due to their music. They express themselves through song writing. But actors have a role that was written for them, they should not express themselves.
I ❤ you Jlaw😘
I really don’t like the interviewer
the interviewer is so beautiful...could'nt have got a word out...:P
So serious, what happened with bust a move mentality? 🤔
"what was it like, playing a weak woman?" what a dumb question. what does it even mean to be "weak" or "strong"? If you conquer your fears you're brave and to me being brave means being strong. that's it. you can be brave in many ways. sometimes it's brave to resist certain instincts - to have an inner strength rather than an outer. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't speak for that character. But as an actor/actress you should never see your role as weak, 'cause you wouldn't be able to play it. It's like playing somebody as evil or stupid or selfish. people usually aren't aware of their flaws, or they'd try and change them.
Thanks for the comment - she told me she thought the role was weak which is why she found it hard as her other characters she found to be heroic. ;-)
I Love Kentucky 🙌
Short answer: she already got paid. The others got paid and did not speak out.
OMG! I totally love JLa's t-shirt! OMG! I want one too! ♥️😍😘😛
🤔
Nice shirt
I know it shouldn't matter but I want to just take that scarf away from him or make him tie a different style.
*four nominations
FORTE JENNIFER LAWRENCE -FELIZ!!!
Thank you for smashing my life
😄😄 she looks so cute Jennifer
I love her as an actress
Interviewer: "What was it like playing a weak woman?" WTF?
Irina Girleanu she said "WeakER women" because she was comparing this character to her other "StrongER" women characters. Was it not obvious?
I think this was one of her strongest characters. She is representing not only the heavy burden mother nature has to cope with regarding the various forms of destruction by human beings ( I am pro human though, just saying) but she is also representing Mother hood and the difficulty of sacrificing your offspring to society. Furthermore, after everything goes horribly wrong, she still forgives the human race, because she knows the alternative is no human life period. THAT is a strong woman.
:-) It was the director Darren Aronofsky who described his character as weak... and Jennifer Lawrence agreed - I was using their words ;-) plus I find her pretty subservient in the movie. Have you seen it?
Eve Jackson I did, I guess it's how you view strong I suppose.
@FemBot oh then, it's my mistake - English is not my native language, so I must've misheard. I am very familiar with Jen's filmography, so I know that she has some amazing roles under her belt, that's why I didn't understand why the interviewer would say 'weak'
😍😍😍 feel free to speak up 😚
She obviously should never play those types of movies and aronofsky should not be allowed to work with women (broken rib, diaphram issue etc)
Wow, I like her shirt. What's on it?
Her face is brighter then my future!
Why did I watch this?
Jen's lost a lot of weight.
Hope she is okay
Wow Jennifer lawrence network is a lot money and I love you Jennifer lawrence 🥰
She got less pay than the American Hustle, male actors? Christian Bale definitely deserves more than her, I'd say. However, Bradley Cooper? She deserved more than Bradley Cooper for sure.
I think she is wonderful.she is real.she straight up and hot has hell.
Ok where talking about the movie not how the fam is
Wow, so an abused woman, is weak!
What was it like playing a "weak woman?" Jen- "It was HARD, it was apart of me I wasn't in touch with" Bwhahahaha... I guess she forced herself to forget her dirty wicked Weinstein swallowing and climbing his couch. She Has no right to standby and FOR Weinstein; getting rich on His victimizing of women. THEN shes crying about unequal pay??!!! This Girl is So DISGUSTING!!!! Jennifer you are not a Feminist, we abhor you!!! YOUR EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE AGAINST!!!
And you are an idiot
which scene specifically does she pull her diaphragm and pop her rib?
the only thing i can see is her shirt with the upside down pentagram on it`!!
SoSkinnyJenniferLawrencewithBlueeyes
Shes not 27!!hahaa
ItTellsUSaboutMyFather'sorHowHezAlsoMyMuM
IamInterested
She doesn't look the same! Her face has changed :(
Elizabethx15 she does look so different i have a feeling she made some dark choices the upcoming films she is doing are on the darkside
Elizabethx15 I'm a beauty advisor and I can tell it's just natural aging :)
PLEASE stop objectifying her - weighing her, measuring her - are you a woman? Please help break the cycle.
To me, she just looks exhausted and lethargic. Seemed to have slimed down a lot and she really needs rest.
Omg! She has lost some weight and it’s makeup and getting older. She is beautiful and always has been. She just gets better with age. And btw, everyone is tired! Life is exhausting
lol this hasn't aged well.
Nice 👚
Unafraid to speak out to the media that is for you? I don't see the bravery. If you're saying what your group saying how is that brave?
I see the bravery, because not like you and me, ordinary people, who speak out there is no consequence. But for a superstar like Jennifer, if she speaks out she may offend a large chunk of potential movie goers to see her film (remember movie is a large investment requiring sizable return) needless to say may cause a lasting perception problems... So for Jennifer to speak out, the price is rather high. Thus bravery.
JonBenait06
There ya go. Happy?
Fan Mac, Yeah but her last movie tanked. And maybe she'll a decline. I'd say its highly unlikely. Look how this dumb broad JonBeneit commented above. "Ignorant fool" because I forgot to put an e on youre
JonBeneit, was that the little girl that was murdered in Colorado?
@JonBenait06 - How can it be ignorant when someone either is not aware or simply forgets about the spelling of a word. You think because someone has a different opinion from you that it is acceptable to attack someone on their spelling, great logic
Is that a satanic shirt????
Its not Satanic. Its a 5 pointed star which is in many faiths. This one looks more Pagan and they don't believe in the Christian monotheism so therefore to them there is no such thing as satan.
The star symbolizes the elements. Earth. Air. Fire. Water. Spirit.
Let us not cast the first stone about that which we do not understand.
Hypocrite
She needs to hook up with Pratt
I would rather see her in light drama or a romantic comedy.She's beautiful and interesting in her interviews. At least in my opinion.If I were to cast her in a film role it would be a country western singer from a poor family in Kentucky struggling to make it in the music biz or a single girl looking for love in a big city or a frontier woman responsible for the survival of her family after her dad was killed off by Indians and her mom died in childbirth.The male love interest in the romantic comedy should be someone cute but with a quirky sense of humor like Ryan Reynolds.
syephen curry how cliche is that 🙄
Feminist witch?
Looks like an inverted pentagram at her shirt. =/
I hate this movie
And? Nobody cares.
Jennifer Lawrence sounds and looks like a girl this interviewer just picked off the street.
gotGodandHislove Even in her worst days she will look 1000 times better than you
As in she doesn't put on a facade for the cameras. I mean it as a compliment. Chill out
Ugh, celebrity worshipers. You people seem to equate reciting dialogues in movies to inventing cold fusion.
Why does she keep putting satanic symbols in her outfits?
S P I R I T cuz shes from your group
She's ascending the next level in Hollywood
She's a satanist and has been to those 'dark places'. She's telling you by wearing a pentagram and upside down crosses for earrings on jimmy Fallon's show. Boycott these freaks who sacrifice babies and animals.
because everything that isn't Christian is Satanist. That's why you just see Satanist everywhere because youre interpreting it that way.
Lola mo Yeah is so sad but thats hollywood
Sorry i dont know why but somehow she is the same in every movie like they are all the same character. it is disturbing but i like her self. Not many actors or actress seemed like this to me, actually i can't remember any right now. Also she seems too young for that role and she has a childish face yet which is suitable for different kinds of movies.
I know it is not because her self gets ahead of her roles, a lot of actress has the same thing. Maybe she talks in real life more than them? Nah, not about that. I guess why she looks she is playing the same character in every move is because she has a unique voice and eyes idk and acting habits maybe? which appears the same way for every role. Maybe she should work more on character differences? This is not to discredit her, it just feels so. What is your opinion?
Ah, Aronofsky and the satanist tshirt i saw thanks to comments, now I see!..
That is absolutely untrue. Some characters she plays have some similarities, but that is as far as it goes. Have you seen her movies? I don't think you have. In mother!, it is intentional that the wife is much younger, naive, and submissive, so it is easy for the husband to dominate her.
dude tom cruise is literally tom cruise in every movie he's in. she's the tom cruise of this generation.
LizStage yepp she made the same impression to me
I have to disagree! When I watch Silver lining I don't see Katniss, when I watch Joy I don't see Tiffany whom she played in Silver lining. She is amazing and different in every movie she is in.
They more “DARK” That I realize our society is and how “DARK” Hollywood is… SHE KEEPS REFERRING IN DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS WHEN PROMOTING THIS FILM “ HAVING TO DO A CERTAIN SCENE ; WHICH WAS A DARK AND HARD SCENE, )
I DO BELIEVE SHE IS SPEAKING ON THE BABY THEY ATE…. AND I DO BELIEVE IT WAS A REAL BABY.
If you believe it was a real baby, you need a psych evaluation.
Anyone who says um, like, ya know, well and other popular like utterances continually during an interview is a reflection of a shallow intellect.
Really need to stop with the pay gap crap. Sorry Jenn but more people pay to see movies because of the men in them. Same reason female athletes dont make the same womens sports dont attract the viewers that mens sports do so there for not the advertisers it pretty simple.
What was it like playing a "weak woman?" Jen- "It was HARD, it was apart of me I wasn't in touch with" Bwhahahaha... I guess she forced herself to forget her dirty wicked Weinstein swallowing and climbing his couch. She Has no right to standby and FOR Weinstein; getting rich on His victimizing of women. THEN shes crying about unequal pay??!!! This Girl is So DISGUSTING!!!! Jennifer you are not a Feminist, we abhor you!!! YOUR EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE AGAINST!!!
Valeria Martinez I thought Feminists brought women up, not tore them down....
Wage gap has no justification and it is unfair that an extremely successful actress gets paid less than her co stars
chima chibi who cares if they get less money, the are getting payed millions of dollars, who cares if they are getting 500k less than someone. She is making more money than she can spend in a life time, she’s just being greedy
Stop watching her movies since she opened her mouth!
Oh no, Jen got 9 million dollars, instead of 9.2 million dollars the male actors got, ill keep you in my prayers :(
JLaw slept her way to the top...if you know what I mean. Ehemmm harvey.
