Jennifer Lawrence, Don't Look Up: see what's in store for the star actress
She strode the red carpet with a spectacular gold dress, showing off her pregnancy. These are the images of Jennifer Lawrence that people have been talking about.
Jennifer Lawrence hadn't stepped on a red carpet for two years. She'd left the spotlight in 2019, although her movie projects continued in the meantime. Now, she reappeared to promote her new film on Netflix.
Her latest movie is 'Don't Look Up,' in which she stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
And such is the return of a star who, in the last two years, avoided official parties and events, focusing on her private life and some filming.
Since her 'X-Men' appearance in 2019, we had not had much news from Jennifer Lawrence. But she always kept working, despite the pandemic. Read further to see which new titles are on the horizon.
The actress transformed her appearance for 'Don't Look Up', the Netflix film with co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet. The movie is about a group of amateur astronomers who discover that an asteroid will impact the earth. They will have to convince the world that their discovery is real.
Another pending film with Jennifer Lawrence is 'Red, White & Water' about a soldier who returns home from Afghanistan with serious brain damage.
Jennifer Lawrence was a very young Oscar winner (22) for her work in 'Silver Linings Playbook'. Now, having crossed the 30-year barrier (she was born on August 15, 1990), she is taking on new challenges as an actress.
Yet another new title for Jennifer Lawrence is 'Mob Girl,' directed by Paolo Sorrentino of 'La Grande Bellezza' and 'The New Pope.' It's a mafia story with a female protagonist.
And then, there are plans to shoot 'Bad Blood', also starring Jennifer Lawrence. It is the biopic of Elizabeth Holmes, the famous American entrepreneur who created a large company in Silicon Valley and ended up being prosecuted for fraud.
Romantically, Jennifer Lawrence is going through a good time with her partner, Cookie Maroney. They got married in 2019 in a ceremony that they managed to hide from the press. It was attended by stars like Emma Stone, Amy Schumer and Adele.
Cookie Maroney comes from a family with ties to the art business. He himself runs an art gallery in New York: Gladstone Gallery. Maroney is an upper-class bohemian, a New Yorker but born in Vermont.
It's not hard to find Jennifer Lawrence and her husband strolling the streets of New York, where the actress owns several real estate properties. But their home is in Los Angeles, where they own a Mediterranean-style mansion.
Jennifer Lawrence is the face of major beauty brands and on the red carpet she appears with stunning beauty looks. However, when she goes out on the street, in her day-to-day life, she has no problem walking around without make-up, 100% natural. And she doesn't mind making weird faces for the photographers either.
Jennifer Lawrence also boasts about taking care of herself without being obsessive or toxic. She does pilates, goes running and, she admits, "if I feel like it, I'll eat a pizza". Why not?
Her role in 'The Hunger Games', which made her a Hollywood teen icon back in 2012, is now a thing of the past. Up to 30 actresses (including Hailee Steinfeld, Emma Roberts, Chloë Moretz and Shailene Woodley) were cast to play Katniss, but Jennifer Lawrence was the chosen one.
She rose to global fame in no time. A Hollywood star sharing the red carpet with other stars. But Jennifer Lawrence's origins are not exactly glamorous.
Jennifer Lawrence was born into a middle-class family in Louisville, Kentucky. Her father was a laborer and her mother a summer camp worker. She has two brothers.
Lawrence began acting as a child in parish functions and the like. While she visited New York on holiday, an agent spotted the girl and was dazzled by her charisma. Jennifer, convinced of her vocation, dropped out of school and began auditioning. The first time the world saw her on screen was in the TV series 'Monk.' The year was 2006.
In 2010, she astonished critics and audiences with her talent as a dramatic actress in 'Winter's Bone', an independent film with a very tough subject matter in which she took on the leading role and emerged victorious. At just 20 years old, she was nominated for an Oscar.
Hollywood also had roles for her in store in big box office movies such as 'X-Men: First Class.' That film showed Jennifer Lawrence in splendid blue.
The culmination of her rapid rise was the Oscar for 'Silver Linings Playbook', in which she found the perfect chemistry with Bradley Cooper.
She would also have deserved the Oscar for her work in 'American Hustle,' a film based on the real story of an FBI chase of a group of con artists.
Jennifer Lawrence didn't have a major release until December 2021, but she did have fantastic personal news: she's expecting a baby!
Jennifer Lawrence is enjoying a great moment in her life and career. Expect to see her in many different roles, one of them being a mother in real life.
