Why Did Jennifer Lawrence Take a Break from Hollywood?
Before taking a break from the limelight, Jennifer Lawrence was considered one of the highest-paid actors in the world. While she showed no signs of slowing down, the actress admitted that she was not making quality films as she should have.
Her last four films, Passengers, Mother!, Red Sparrow, and Dark Phoenix, were met with negative reviews from critics, and the series of underwhelming performances prompted her to take a break from acting.
“I was not pumping out the quality that I should have,” she recently told Vanity Fair. “I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’… I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life.”
“Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: ‘Okay, I said yes, we’re doing it. Nobody’s mad.’ And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence. So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul.”
What Did Jennifer Lawrence Do During Her Hiatus?
In her recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host reminded the actress that on her last guesting on the show three years ago, they did six shots of rum.
Stephen then brought up J.Law’s break from acting and asked her about the things she did during her hiatus.
“Did you have fun? What did you do for the last three years?,” Stephen asked, to which Jennifer Lawrence jokingly replied, “I just had a ton of sex,” while laughing and looking down at her belly.
Stephen then shook her hand and said, “Good for you!” J.Law said she was joking and added that she “cooked a little.” “And then the pandemic happened, and then I cooked and I cleaned a lot.”
Jennifer also revealed that if she wasn’t an actress, she would be “a really good housekeeper.” “I make a mess, but I’m really good at cleaning up.”
