20 THINGS YOU (MAYBE) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT JENNIFER LAWRENCE
It is natural, simple and has things very clear. Jennifer Lawrence is already one of America's favorite brides, a relationship more than deserved by her achievements as an actress, her sense of humor and her strong attitude.
Just 10 years after her first major play in Louisville (she signed up for acting classes in her hometown after her 14th birthday), the actress has scored achievement after achievement since winning a Golden Globe and an Oscar in less than two months (back in 2013, and without forgetting that his first nomination for 'the greats' was obtained with 16 springs ...). Now, more than made to its deserved success and with directors bidding to have it among its lines, JLaw remains faithful to the saga that three years ago raised its name to stratospheric levels and that this 2015 will put its end: The Hunger Games. She was aware of what this was going to bring her, did you know that it took Lawrence several days to make the decision to accept or not her role because she knew that she was going to change her life?
