Jennifer Lawrence performed a humiliatiոg nսde number in an attempt to succeed
Jennifer Lawrence confessed to a “degrading” experience while trying to make it big in Hollywood.
The Hunger Games star, 33, suffered “humiliation” in the early days of her career, before landing her breakout role as Katniss Everdeen, which led to acting in everything from Silver Linings Playbook to No Hard Feelings.
At Elle’s Women in Hollywood panel back in 2017, Jen explained she was told to slim down for a role in a cruel way.
Movie producers told Jennifer to lose 15 pounds for a role, and to make matters worse, made her take part in a “naked line-up” with thinner women who she was supposed to use as “inspiration” to shed the weight.
She explained: “During this time a female producer had me do a nude line-up with about five women who were much, much, thinner than me.
«We are stood side-by-side with only tape on covering our privates. After that degrading and humiliating line-up, the female producer told me I should use the naked photos of myself as inspiration for my diet.»
Jennifer said one rival actress was cut from the project because she couldn’t lose enough weight.
It sadly didn’t end there. Jennifer told the male producer on the movie that it wasn’t fair that she should have to lose so much,
and he replied that he “didn’t know why everyone thought she was so fat”, branding the star “perfectly f**kable.”
She went on: “The director of that film asked me if he could have me star in a porno as that character, among many other things that are too inappropriate to repeat here.
Like so many young actors and actresses, I couldn’t have got a producer or director or studio head fired; I let my self be treated a certain way because I felt like I had to for my career.
