There’s a reason actress Jennifer Lawrence’s movies in the last few years have garnered very little praise — her massive ego gets in the way of her likability. Take what she said during an “Actors on Actors” interview for Variety. It might possibly be the one of the dumbest statements of her career, which is saying something.
“I remember when I was doing “Hunger Games,” nobody had ever put a woman in the lead [role] of an action movie, because it wouldn’t work we were told,” Lawrence said. “‘Girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.’”

Just off the top of my head — and we don’t need to go so far as calling this a fact-check — but I can tell you that Lawrence is 100 percent, unequivocally wrong when it comes to her statement that “nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie.”
How about Sigourney Weaver in “Alien?” “Terminator 2?” The “Tomb Raider” movies? The “Resident Evil” movies? The “Kill Bill” movies? Bridget Fonda in “The Point of No Return?”
That’s just taking 30 seconds to think about it, and all of those movies came out well before an only half good “Hunger Games” series.
While we understand that the cultists in Hollywood like to re-write history, Lawrence might want to fact-check herself before saying something so profoundly dumb.
