The Jennifer Lawrence Effect
He is one of the most projected stars in Hollywood. "I always knew that she would be famous", she has just confessed in 'Vogue'.
Every so often the film industry bets on an unknown face, catapulting it to the top of the seventh art and putting, in a few days, the world at its feet. Completely unknown faces that, overnight, find that the fame they had in their city and country has spread throughout the globe. Short-lived talents but with international fame, who are only worth time. His work, tenacity and way of managing his new life is what sentences him.
The most current example of this is found in the figure of Jennifer Lawrence, the young woman who on February 24 raised the much-desired golden statuette at the Oscar ceremony. Her credible performance in the film The Bright Side of Things, alongside handsome Bradley Cooper, helped her win the award from none other than Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain. The Screen Actors Guild Award, which was awarded the day before her, gave impetus to what seemed like the weakest nomination in the Best Actress category.
That night, Lawrence became the second youngest performer to win this award, the most important in the world of cinema; and that she has just rejected, since she has recognized that she transmits "a strange energy" to him.
But, who really is Jennifer Lawrence and, above all, how has she managed in two years to become one of the most acclaimed actresses on the current scene? She is honest, beautiful and talented, but she has neither Jolie's experience nor Sofia Vergara's curves. Jennifer Lawrence is herself, she is natural. The discreet young woman who emerged gracefully from a fall broadcast live to the whole world at the most important awards ceremony on the planet.
They say that when Lawrence stepped on her brand new Dior haute couture dress landing on the steps of the Oscar stage, half the world fell in love with her. Among them, Prince Harry of England. The firm that dressed her, Christian Dior, also had no doubts. Two days later she signed her as the image of her new bag collection. The girl from Kentucky (who will turn 23 next Thursday), the semi-adolescent face of the giant film adaptation of The Hunger Games, lived her most magical night. The first of many.
Since she was little she aimed high. She herself has just recognized it in an interview with the American edition of Vogue magazine for its next September issue. Daily Mail has had access to the conversation between the publication and the actress, from which it has published excerpts like this: "I always knew she would be famous." The young celebrity, like a guru, confesses that she thought a lot about it, she imagined herself being what she is today.
"It wasn't a vision. It was like it was happening, an exposition of a hidden idea," she says. And so much so that she has achieved it. Today she can boast of working in what she likes the most and with the best. A profession that in her short but intense career has given her great satisfaction. And also some headache.
Thus, Jennifer assures that she does not carry anything well that suddenly people want to know everything about her. In this regard, she says: "I do not agree with it. It is as simple as that. I am just a normal girl and a human being. I have not had enough time to make this world my new life. And it will be difficult for me to find peace".
She still has a hard time carrying fame and accepting that each of her steps are likely to become a starter. That is why she, for now, prefers to work rather than go on vacation. Thus, after finishing shooting the film Catching Fire, she has embarked on a new role, that of Rosalyn, Christian Bale's wife in AmericanHustle. "I couldn't say no. For me, that's more important than a vacation right now. It's much better for me to stimulate my brain. It's what I like," she said.
Jennifer Lawrence timidly started in the acting world doing small roles on television. Her great opportunity came with the independent film Winter's Bone, which consecrated her career as an actress thanks to the nominations she obtained in three of the most important film awards: Oscar, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild.
In 2011, she made the leap to commercial cinema with X Men: First Generation. A year after her came The Hunger Games and The Bright Side of Things, which elevated her in the last installment of the Oscars. Who knows if what happened that night, February 24, is a prediction and we are facing one of the new great stars of Hollywood or, instead, it is another misstep of the academics. projection has. Style and personality too. The ingredients to be a great celebrity.
