Jennifer Lawrence Academy Award-winning 26-year-old and certified cool girl Jennifer Lawrence has said that early on in her career, multiple industry higher-ups told her she needed to lose weight to succeed. Now, she says, "If anybody even tries to whisper the word 'diet,' I'm like, 'You can go f*ck yourself." Amen.
As one of the most visible (and highest paid) actors in Hollywood, Lawrence takes her role model status seriously. She has spoken about how sensitive she was to giving young fans of the "Hunger Games" a strong, healthy-looking heroine. "I don't want little girls to be like 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner,'" she said. "That's something I was really conscious of during training, when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong -- not thin and underfed."
