Jennifer Lawrence has landed her first ever Vogue cover,
starring on the magazine's November 2012 issue, the UK edition. In
the accompanying interview, the 22-year-old actress talks about her
childhood, fame and being criticized for her curvy figure.
"Oh God, yes, I'm tired of the lollipops. I mean, if I looked like
that I wouldn't be tired of it, obviously. But it's hilarious, the
way I'm supposedly the overweight one? Like, they got me at the
movies yesterday and the caption read something like 'Curvy star
cannot wait to dig into tub of popcorn.' I mean, c'mon! I'm just a
normal girl who likes to eat! At least they got me using my hands,"
Jennifer told the magazine.
The Hunger Games star also dishes on her boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult
and their relaxed style. "Oh, he really doesn't care, like he'll
sometimes wear these white tennis shoes with jeans, then tuck his
pants into his socks? Maybe don't write that, it might embarrass
him, but I tell him that all the time. He has absolutely no idea
how good-looking he is... I think a lot of women and men hate me
because of that," Lawrence says.
The beautiful actress, who has been nominated for an Oscar for
her role as Ree in 'Winter's Bone', is totally aware that celebrity
involves a certain responsibility. Asked whether she has killed
anything in real life, Jennifer told Vogue UK that, "Nooo! I mean,
I guess people expect that of me, and if I had to kill something
for survival, maybe I would, and yeah, maybe I was a tomboy when I
was growing up. But I'm definitely a girl now..."
"Of course, there's a responsibility I'm aware of. In one sense,
luckily, it comes naturally because I can't stay out beyond
midnight. I don't really have an exciting life. But if you mean, am
I a natural leader? No. It's funny, my friends were joking about
how I was so not the person who's in charge of taking turns to go
in the hot tub. I just appear that way," the young star added.
Later this winter, the actress will appear in an indie film,
'Silver Lining Playbooks', in which she stars opposite Bradley
Cooper as a recovering sex addict.
"Addiction is something I find really fascinating, actually. Like
how when an addict gives up something, they have to immediately
replace it with something else. Vitamins, exercise, water... I know
a lot about this, by the way, because I watch a lot of daytime TV,"
she says.
On her upbringing, Jennifer says that even though it was happy, it
was also "scary, sweary and loud, where everyone has a bit of a
drinking problem and everyone screams at each other, but it was
real fun."
When it comes to fame, Jennifer says that, "Look, you watch these
little freedoms being eroded away, like being able to pump gas in
peace or whatever, but it's here, and it comes and goes and
leaves... My parents raised me to hold down a job, they instilled
the work ethic in me. What this is is a job, and that's what I'm
doing, hopefully, my job. As far as jobs go, I'd say I was pretty
lucky."
