Why Jennifer Lawrence is irresistible
At 24, she tops the latest “Forbes” ranking of the most powerful actresses, while remaining simple and uninhibited. But what is his secret ?
We have never seen such a rapid ascent. At 24, Jennifer Lawrence dominates Hollywood. She is the actress who generated the most revenue in 2014. She won an Oscar in 2013 for “Happiness Therapy”. Her roles in the "Hunger Games" and "X-Men" series have established her as an idol of world youth. Not to mention her status as Dior muse and her title of “Sexiest Woman of the Year 2014”. This triumph, she experiences it in the most natural way possible. She speaks without complex of her flatulence problems and likes to gobble up donuts in the middle of an interview. When she tripped over her Dior dress and sprawled out at the Oscars, she got up laughing. To those who, in the trade, advise her to lose a little weight, she politely replies "to go fuck yourself". She refuses to appear on social networks. In short, "J-Law" is so perfectly likeable, intelligent and funny that one can not help but wonder: is all this really natural? But why is she so cool?
BECAUSE SHE IS NON-CONFORMIST
Jennifer has a weapon of massive seduction: her candor and her outspokenness. When photos of her naked were hacked and posted on the Net, she was fragile, upset, angry. She thought about writing a letter of apology to her fans, then gave up on it. "After all, there was nothing for which I have to apologize," she argues. I lived for four years a wonderful love story, from a distance. So I sent him pictures. Either your boyfriend watches porn or he watches you. “His crude stripping remarks won him the sympathy of the public. And turned a mini-scandal into a pro-J-Law plebiscite, with no calculated communication plan. Jennifer Lawrence or the strength of innocence.
BECAUSE SHE PLAYS IT CLOONEY GIRL VERSION
She disdains Twitter, has an amazing sense of self-mockery, loves red carpets, but appreciates nothing better "than a good night out with her boyfriend watching reality TV" (at the time, it was Chris Martin, ex-Mr. Paltrow and leader of Coldplay). Does this remind you of anything? George Clooney, of course, who exhibits that same kind of vintage elegance, unfussy camaraderie, and cordial disregard for gossip culture. Like George, Jennifer exudes a 50s charm and stands out in an age obsessed with marketing, filled with exhibitionist and cantankerous starlets, ubiquitous on Instagram but totally paranoid in controlling their image. Jennifer has the carefree chic of the stars of yesteryear.
BECAUSE SHE HAS A LOST FAITH IN HER DESTINY
Born on a Kentucky farm, she was raised as a true tomboy. Her two brothers nicknamed her "Nitro" because of her explosive character. And when she discovered the theater, at 14, it was a revelation. She had found her calling. “I have absolute confidence in myself, which I cannot explain to myself. It's not pretense. I can't not be an actress. I am made for this. Inhabited by this force, endowed with an exceptional gift of actress, she bluffs all of Hollywood.
THE OPINION OF THE EXPERT, JEAN-PHILIPPE DANGLADE
“Jennifer Lawrence had the intelligence to play on all fronts, that of mainstream films and that of a demanding cinema. This gives him a double credibility, based on authenticity and humility. She manages this posture with tact: she blunders without ever crossing the red line. Moreover, she manages her career and her fortune with a masterful hand. Should we see this as the sign of a strategy? She has no doubt understood that our time has had enough of stars with corseted marketing. With her outspokenness, she allows her fans to identify with her. Hollywood has tended, in recent years, to starify its actresses less to highlight its “franchises”, series of films like the “X-Men”. With Jennifer Lawrence, the actresses return to the fore. It's revenge. »
