Jennifer Lawrence temporarily retires from the cinema: This is the unexpected reason
The Oscar-winning actress has announced that she will leave the cinema to dedicate herself to another activity. What is it about?
At 27 years old and a career full of success and awards, Jennifer Lawrence has announced that she is retiring from the cinema. But it will not always happen. Actually, the “Hunger Games” actress has told Entertainment Tonight that she will be away from the cameras for a year.
Needs to rest? Not precisely. Jennifer Lawrence will not actually be working as an actress, but she will put her energy into a cause that motivates her: “I'm taking a year off. I will work with the organization Represent.Us, trying to help young people to get politically involved at the local level ”.
According to La Vanguardia, Represent.Us is an organization that promotes anti-corruption laws within the United States government. Lawrence has explained that it is not a question of partisan political militancy, but of work in favor of the democracy of her country: “It has nothing to do with partisan politics. It's just trying to pass state laws that can help prevent corruption and fix our democracy. "
The Oscar winner has already expressed interest in various causes in the past. She was one of the first to speak out about the pay gap in Hollywood and has attended various events for women's rights.
During 2018, however, we will still be able to see her in cinema thanks to projects that she culminated in recent months. In March "Operation Red Sparrow" is released, in which she plays a Russian spy, and in November of this year she will reprise her role as Mystique in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix". With this year of temporary retirement, 2019 will not have her starring in any movie.
