Jennifer Lawrence clarifies criticism of female-led action films

She is testifying in the JLaw court.

Critical Storm Away Actress Jennifer Lawrence clarifies comments she has previously made about female-led action movies. The Oscar-winning actress disclosed the alleged patch on Thursday while speaking with her Hollywood Reporter.

“It was my fault and it came out wrong,” Lawrence, 32, admitted in the interview about his alleged slip of the tongue.

The controversy erupted the day before the “American Hustle” star announced herself as the first lead character during an interview for Variety’s Actors on Actors series with Viola Davis.

“I remember when I was doing ‘The Hunger Games,’ nobody would put a woman in the lead role in an action movie because it wouldn’t work – because we’re told that girls and boys can relate to a male lead, but boys can’t”, stated Lawrence when describing her role as Katniss Everdeen in the film. Adapted in 2012 based on the popular book series.

Her comments sparked a tsunami of reaction with moviegoers, noting that there were plenty of female action stars long before her 2012 film.

They listed examples ranging from Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley in the “Alien” film series, which began in 1979, to Angelina Jolie in the “Tomb Raider” films of 2001 and 2003.

Needless to say, the Kentucky native was quick to backtrack on her comments. “That’s definitely not what I meant,” Lawrence explained to THR. “I know I’m not the only woman who’s ever directed an action movie.”

She explained that she “intended to highlight how good it is to transcend these old myths” about sexism in Hollywood.

In the end, Lawrence said she made a mistake because she was nervous about speaking to a “living legend” in Davis.
